RTÉ has learned that top tickets at rugby internationals in Croke Park will cost over €1,000.
When Ireland play France and England next February, the IRFU will charge €850 plus VAT per person in a corporate box, resulting in a cost of more than €1,000 per person.
With almost 2,000 seats at this level the IRFU can earn almost €2million just from the corporate boxes alone.
That sum alone will cover the reported rental cost to the GAA of €1.5million per match.
That still leaves the IRFU with another 75,000 tickets to sell including almost 9,000 in the exclusive Premium Level selling at €110.
Ordinary stand tickets will cost €80.
Under an agreement with Croke Park Stadium Ltd, the existing box holders will be given first refusal at a cheaper price. They can attend for €750 plus VAT, a cost of over €900 per person.
The FAI has told RTÉ that corporate box tickets will be under €400 per person.
Tickets will be sold as a bundle. Therefore to take a box for the high demand game against Germany, you will also have to take it for the game against Cyprus.
The game with Wales will be bundled with the match against Slovakia.
Premium level tickets for soccer internationals are expected to cost €85, with stand tickets priced at €50 and €70.
An IRFU spokesman said the difference in price merely reflects the different markets involved.
