Irish Manchester City fans slam outrageous €700 Club World Cup ticket prices
Manchester City fans in Ireland are shunning the controversial new Club World Cup that kicks off this weekend as a money-spinning tournament, it is claimed. With many standard tickets priced at an eye-watering €700, they claim the stadiums at 11 cities across host country America could be an empty embarrassment for FIFA when it kicks off after midnight on Sunday. Packages for the whole tournament are available for US$29,211 (€25,482) or US$7,463 (€6,510) for both semis and the final. Ireland's No1 Man City fan Gareth Hayes, who his club previously voted as their Fan of the Season, told the Irish Mirror: 'There is not much interest anywhere. Even my mates who would be hardcore fans have turned away. It's too expensive on them. Where do you stop as a fan? It seems to be who has the most money gets a seat. They're talking about costs of €10,000 to go to it. It's money for the clubs.' The Club World Cup (CWC) has a total prize pot of $1bn (€870m) with the winners to net US$125m (€108m). But football fans claim the revamped 32-team global club tournament has failed to spark their interest. Some, like Mr Hayes, from Westmeath, claim this is due to the high prices of tickets, which went on sale earlier this year. Due to the disillusion of fans like Mr Hayes, hundreds of dollars were knocked off tickets in recent days. There is now a risk that the controversial new FIFA competition, which was invented by its president Gianni Infantino as a glittering curtain-raiser for next summer's 2026 World Cup, could have thousands of empty seats, it is claimed. FIFA has already announced ticket giveaways to thousands of emergency workers for Los Angeles matches and fans have called for further reductions or free tickets to local schools, which is a practice sometimes undertaken by Ireland's FAI to fill Dublin's Aviva Stadium. Some ticket prices for the opening match of this new inaugural Club World Cup in Florida between Lionel Messi's Inter Miami and Egyptian side Al Ahly have plummeted. Thousands of tickets on the official selling partner's website are now available for US$55.75 (€48.60) — which is 16% of the original asking price for the 65,000-capacity Hard Rock Stadium in Florida's Miami Gardens. LA Galaxy are MLS champions but Messi's club Inter Miami, owned by David Beckham, were controversially included in the CWC as the host nation's representative, despite losing in the first round of the MLS playoffs. A single match hospitality ticket was yesterday priced at US$829 (€723), while standard tickets have dropped from US$347 (€302) to the US$55.75 (€48.60) price in line with FIFA's dynamic pricing system that allows for costs to rise and fall with demand. Tickets for Manchester City's opening fixture against Moroccan side Wydad in Philadelphia next Wednesday are now available from US$51 (€44). Tickets prices for the opening game of fellow English Premier League club Chelsea, which also has a large following across Ireland, is in Atlanta against Los Angeles FC on Monday are now available from US$77 (€67). Fans of both City and eventual winners Chelsea accused football administrators UEFA of greed in 2021 when the clubs met in the Champions League Final in Portugal. They issued a joint statement to say: 'We stand together against the lies, greed, hypocrisy and deception of UEFA.' City fan Gareth claimed today that the ongoing disruption in Los Angeles amid accusations at US president Donald Trump's 'authoritarian' administration is not the reason that is deterring supporters, according to fans. He said: 'The Club World Cup won't be taken seriously by any team. It's just an early pre-season and clubs are getting serious money from FIFA for taking part in it. 'I haven't heard of anyone going. I've not heard of any supporters' clubs here in Ireland going to it. I just think it's too much money for these games now. You're doing well just to buy a season ticket or a few away games.' He added: 'I don't think the riots would not put fans off going to LA. It's just that the tournament is not for them. It's too much that the club is asking fans to pay. The club has changed a lot over the last few years. It's hard to even get an email back off them now, compared to the days when they needed fans.' The CWC sparked legal action threats from the European branch of players' union FIFPro against FIFA amid claims of too many matches for players in a congested fixture calendar. Organisers said ticket sales in more than 130 countries for the CWC, which is estimated to generate a total of US$2bn (€1.74m) in expected revenues, proves the tournament's popularity. FIFA bagged a US$1bn (€870m) worldwide TV rights deal with sports streaming platform DAZN which will broadcast all matches free-to-air. The CWC opening match is the Group A clash between Al Ahly and Inter Miami at 1am Irish time on Sunday, with the final to be held at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 13.

Pulp star Jarvis Cocker pops into famous Dublin pub after triumphant 3Arena show
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker and his bandmates have become the latest celebrities to enjoy a post-show pint in a famous Dublin pub. The Brtipop legends returned to the capital for a triumphant career-spanning gig at the 3Arena last night. Afterwards they popped into the Hacienda - a venue beloved by celebs due to the privacy afforded to them. The Little Mary Street boozer has previously played host to the likes of Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Saoirse Ronan and Barry Keoghan. The pub shared a picture of Jarvis with owner Shay Duignan this afternoon, saying: "Great to welcome Jarvis Cocker & Pulp to the Hacienda!" Pulp were last in Dublin when they played St Anne's Park two years ago. The Common People hitmakers were back in the city last night in support of their new album, More. This is the group's first LP in 24 years and is on course to become their first UK number one album in 27 years. More, which was released on Friday, is the long awaited follow up to 2001's We Love Life. The last time the Sheffield-based group topped the UK album charts was in 1998 with This Is Hardcore, which followed on from their best-known album, Different Class, which was released three years prior and is their only other chart-topping LP.

Today's top TV and streaming choices: Who Do You Think You Are?, San Andreas and Cocaine Air
Who Do You Think You Are? BBC One, 8pm Diane Morgan is the final celebrity to delve into their family's past. She discovers a wartime love story involving her great-great aunt and unearths facts about a distant relative known as German Charlie. Taskmaster Channel 4, 10.05pm It's no longer on TV, but that isn't about to stop Stevie Martin trying to land a role in Downton Abbey. Meanwhile, Mathew Baynton's dignity goes out of the window and Jason Mantzoukas tries to find a new friend. Plus, poor Alex Horne has to deal with yoghurt on his shoes. Fíorscéal TG4, 10.45pm Sustainable construction enters the spotlight, with builders revealing how they have begun to change their methods after finding it difficult to find raw materials. San Andreas RTÉ2, 9pm A massive earthquake devastates California, prompting an LA-based rescue helicopter pilot and his ex-wife to make a journey across the state to find their daughter. However, the trip turns out to be far more perilous than they imagined. Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino, Ioan Gruffudd and Kylie Minogue star. Call Her Alex Disney+, streaming now Back in October 2024, just less than a month before the election, Kamala Harris went on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Her appearance on such a highly popularised new medium was meant to nail her bid for the presidency. Instead, we have Trump and Stephen Miller in the White House and lingering whimpers of 'Why didn't Kamala go on Joe Rogan instead?' Such retrospection is, unfortunately, futile at this point. So, instead, let's find out more about Alex Cooper and what it took to become the most influential female podcaster of a generation. Directed by Ry Russo-Young (Nuclear Family), this two-part docuseries follows Cooper from a shy Pennsylvania kid to a progressive sex-and-dating podcaster, evolving over six years into the CEO of a media empire. More than a success story, it's a portrait of a person creating a space where women feel heard (and their respective others in their life can glean some often-necessary pointers). The Survivors Netflix, streaming now We're mostly used to two types of Australian viewing: soaps and super-dry (to the point of cringe) comedy. This is different. The drama follows Kieran Elliott's life after two people drown in his hometown of Evelyn Bay, Australia. To top it off, a young girl also went missing. Returning with his family 15 years later, the simmering guilt resurfaces, especially when the body of a young woman is found on the beach… K.O. Netflix, streaming now No one does visceral city grit like the French. Bastien has lived as a recluse since accidentally killing his opponent Enzo in an MMA fight three years ago. Now, Enzo's widow tracks him down as, essentially, he owes her one. Her request? Find her missing teenage son. Tyler Perry's Straw Netflix, streaming now Between this and last month's release of She the People, Mr Tyler Perry is getting himself around. This offering, however, is far more stark than May's fare. Here, one mum's day unfurls as it goes from tricky to catastrophic. Pushed to the precipice by a world that seems indifferent to her plight (until they can livestream it), she soon gets attention when she unwittingly holds up a bank. The Orkney Assassin Prime Video, streaming now The Orkney Isles lie 130 miles north of Aberdeen. It's a peaceful place with a strong sense of community. In June 1994, however, Bangladeshi waiter Shamsuddin Mahmood was working at the lone curry house when a masked man fatally shot him. This documentary revisits one of Scotland's most extraordinary murder cases, examining racism, loyalty, and the impact of trauma decades later. Ocean with David Attenborough Disney+, streaming now The man who will never retire explores stunning ocean habitats, highlighting the challenges for marine-life recovery. On November 5, 2021, Travis Scott stepped on stage to perform at Astroworld, which ended in the deaths of 10 people. An exclusive look told from the perspective of the survivors, paramedics and staff who were at the centre of this tragedy. Cocaine Air Netflix, streaming now Indeed, it's wall-to-wall documentaries this week. On March 20, 2013, four French nationals were arrested on a private jet at Punta Cana airport. On board: 700kg of cocaine in 26 suitcases. All lack the profile of an international drug smuggler, and no one knows who owns the luggage.
