Irish fans left raging as hundreds of thousands flood NFL Dublin ticket queue

What a mess...

Pittsburgh Steelers are set to play against the Minnesota Vikings at Croke Park on September 28.

The NFL Dublin game will be the first-ever regular-season match in Ireland, with a capacity around 75,000 set for the match with a number of rows blocked off along with Hill 16 being seated.

With the game confirmed back in February, the NFL confirmed tickets would go on sale this Tuesday, June 17, at midday.

Tickets were revealed to be priced around €85-€295 depending on seating location, with Hill 16 tickets costing around €215. Children under 18 months are able to go for free but require a ticket from the ticket office on game day.

Fans must have registered with an NFL International Tickets account to be able to get the link to the Ticketmaster site. The account also had to be new, even if you had a ticketing account from the previous London or Berlin matches.

With such a unique process needed to be done in order to get tickets, many Irish fans were furious upon missing out on tickets today due to large queue numbers from local and international fans.

With over 600,000 people in the queue once NFL Dublin tickets were released, fans have taken to social media to voice their frustration. They felt the ticketing system didn't ensure locals got a fair chance at getting a ticket with such a huge demand from all corners of the world.
