How Republic of Ireland football and Irish Rugby tickets for Aviva Stadium compare in price

Ireland's rugby and football teams are back in action in the coming months and tickets are still available for those on the lookout - and the prices will vary depending on which sport you're keen to see at the Aviva Stadium.

Ireland's rugby team will take on world champions South Africa in the first game of the 2022 Autumn Nations Series at the Aviva Stadium as the Springboks visit Dublin for the first time in five years.

That will be followed by a clash with Fiji on Saturday, November 12 before the series concludes with a tantalising contest against Australia set for November 19.

Broadly speaking, tickets to see the rugby team are more expensive - here is a breakdown in prices which compares tickets available for the Republic of Ireland vs Armenia against tickets in the same category for the rugby fixtures.

Even the cheapest rugby ticket available - a Category 4 restricted view option for the fixture against Fiji - is €10 more expensive than the cheapest ticket on offer for the Republic of Ireland's game against Armenia.

There is a stark gap between the prices for Premium level tickets for football and rugby, too.

In summary, tickets for Ireland's upcoming autumn internationals in rugby are significantly more expensive when compared to the Republic of Ireland's fixture against Armenia.

Indeed, the Irish rugby team's stock has risen once again in 2022; a series win over the All Blacks in New Zealand has whetted the appetite for success once again and ahead of a World Cup next year, fans will be eager to cheer them on at home against some of the world's strongest sides.

Meanwhile, tickets are still available under unreserved general admission for the FAI Cup final which will take place on November 13. They cost €20.
