New match ticket packages offering reduced prices are being introduced by the IRFU in a promotional bid to reward loyal supporters and boost attendances at games. It means a cost saving to supporters for all ticket categories in selected matches within the scheme.

In an innovative linkage system, upcoming home games at Lansdowne Road will be paired for the matches involving South Africa, Argentina, USA and England.

Tickets for Ireland's permanent tsb matches against USA on November 20th and Argentina on November 27th will respectively be on offer at reduced cost in pairings with the matches against England in the RBS Six Nations on February 27th next and the permanent tsb match against South Africa on November 13th.

It means that a person wishing to purchase a ticket for the South African game must also purchase the same ticket for Argentina and similarly, tickets for the Ireland-England game will be conditional on purchase of the same ticket for the USA match.

The cost-saving compulsory pairing scheme outline is: - Combined ticket price for South Africa (November 13th, 2.45 pm) and Argentina (November 27th, 5.30 pm): - All West Lower, West Upper Centre, East Upper Centre, East Lower Centre - 120 West Upper Sides & Back; East Lower Sides, East Upper Sides & Back - 100 Uncovered Stand - 80 Touch Line - 90 Goal Line - 80 East Terrace - 52.00 North & South Terrace - 45 Schoolboy\girl - 10.00
