I expect we'll get a bus...maybe Killester will organise something (good value for the interprovicial aways before anyone starts). Anyone know the way?

If you tell CKav we're headed for Thomond Park, we might have some chance of hitting Ravers....

Taken from the aircoach website

Q: Is it possible to book a coach for a group of people or get a group discount for a large amount of passengers travelling on the service?

A: Yes. If we have a coach available we would be happy to give you a quote for private hire.
Persons travelling in a group of 50 and pre book their tickets through Aircoach receive 10% discount

This might be worth considering but we would have to get commitments from people.

Good work Grumpy. I always knew you'd come in use for something....well, actually I didn't, but I'm pleasantly surprised....

Sounds like a plan guys!

Is it really worth the hassle, trying to get commitments from 50 people for a discount of €1.20 on a €12 ticket?

Well it is if the branch are going to charge us 30Euro per ticket and pocket a massive margin.

KTF,
If you know them will you ask them for a quote? Match is on at 7.30 pm on Sat. 2nd December so presumably leaving Dublin at c. 2.30 pm and going back to Dublin c. 11pm. Assume 30 travelling, possibly more. I'll do the same for Aircoach and we can compare.

i am sure the discount is on the route with a large group (based on a driver turnaround) if they are doing that for private hire that is a seriously good price per head

Spoke to Aircoach and they are to come back to me with a quote. They did point out that their last scheduled service from belfast to Dublin was at 8.30pm so that is no good to us as match is at 7.30pm.

ktf. · Post by **ktf.** » August 30th, 2006, 4:11 pm

i emailed matthews they normally get back to me with in 24hours

There were Aircoaches parked in Ravenhill on Stephens day last year (privately hired??)
