I suppose there'd be no chance of getting a ticket for the AI Hurling Final for up there. It's be some view!

€25 for adults-that is steep(pun kind of intended) to go up essentially a viewing tower. Be surprised if there's a flood of takers at that price.

Did someone say a crane can be seen?

That rare sight would be worth the 25 nicker on it's own!

It's $23 to go up the Empire State. That's about €18. It's €14 to go up the Eiffel Tower. Both are in more scenic cities. Where are they getting the €25 price from?

That is some price in Sydney for something that doesn't look that fantastic.

Guinness storehouse is €14.40 and you get a free pint at the end of it. Granted the views in the gravity bar are not as high but €10-15 would be a more reasonable price for something like this. That price for Sydney is ridiculous.

25 euros to walk along a roof

Unless you can time it to coincide with a match then that's very poor value

Very poor value

Corkman tries in vain to denigrate attraction in Dublin in vain attempt to soothe his own insecurity at being from a "second" city

Great, McKenna and the pinstripe suit cronies ban fans from celebrating on the field but you can wander about on the roof as long as you slip them 25 lids. Oh the ironing

Croke Park is located in some of the worst slums in Dumplin.
You couldn't pay me to go on that sky tour.
