FRIDAY night’s game between the Lions and Argentina has sold out.
Tickets had still been available overnight as it appeared hefty prices had turned punters off.
The cheapest remaining tickets were an eye-watering €148 and if you wanted to buy tickets in pairs in order to sit together, they would set you back a staggering €190 each.
But a Lions spokesperson confirmed at the captain’s run today that all remaining tickets had been sold for what is the first game the representative side has played on Irish soil.
Asked about the ticket prices, Lions assistant coach Richard Wigglesworth said: “You’re asking the wrong man.
“I’m a rugby coach, I’ve got my hands full with that without getting involved in ticket prices
“All I know is that everyone you talk to, whether they’re friends, family or strangers on the street, is incredibly excited about the Lions playing here in Dublin.”
