Tickets for Steelers v Vikings will range from €85 to €295 when they on sale Tuesday
Tickets for September's NFL game in Croke Park will go on general sale on Tuesday with prices ranging from €85 to €295.
Hill 16 and the Nally Stand will be seated for the meeting of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings on September 28 with admission set at €250 for a spot in those areas. A ticket at the lower part of the opposing Davin Stand will cost the same.
At €295, the most expensive general sale ticket is in the middle part of the lower Cusack and Hogan Stand. For all other parts of the main lower stands except for the rows closest to the playing area, a seat is priced at €275. Those rows are restricted view tickets as teams and coaching staff will be congregated in front of them.
The Upper Cusack and Hogan Stand tickets will be available at €150, €225 or €250. Upper Lower Davin Stand tickets can be purchased at €85 or €100.
The tiering of the tickets as well as that for Saturday's URC Grand Final between Leinster and the Bulls in Croke Park is sure to give hosts GAA food for thought when the only general ticket differentiation they make for All-Ireland senior finals is between stand and terrace admission.
The URC were charging between €22.60 for a standing Hill 16 ticket to €55.35 for the corners of the lower Cusack and Hogan Stands to €147.35 for a seat in the Ard Chomhairle area of the Hogan Stand.
Speaking on Tuesday, GAA president Jarlath Burns referenced their ticketing system: 'We do have a ticketing workgroup set up under (Ulster vice-chairman) Declan Woods from Cavan. They are coming up with all sorts of ideas around dynamic structures, dynamic pricing.
"Even Leinster, if you look at the URC final on Saturday, they have a dynamic structure. Even the corners of the stands, it's cheaper to get into them than the main part of the stand. It's interesting what they're charging to get into Ard Chomhairle as well, if any of you have seen that.'
