Croke Park under fire for selling cans of Smirnoff Ice for a tenner
Music and sporting venues are under fire for the extortionate prices they are charging for alcoholic beverages, with Croke Park recently adding cans of Smirnoff Ice to their menu. A four-pack of the 250ml cans of the alco-pop are sold in off-licenses for €8, with Croke Park charging more than that for one single can. TikTok creator Dave Duke took to the video sharing platform to have his say on the new addition to Croke Park menu with punters being charged €9.50 for a can. Music and sporting venues are under fire for the extortionate prices they are charging for alcoholic beverages, with Croke Park recently adding cans of Smirnoff Ice to their menu. Pic: TikTok/ Dave Duke The radio presenter hit out, saying it was 'the biggest robbery in Croke Park since Louth versus Meath in the 2010 Leinster final.' ''Oh young people are boring; they won't go out anymore.' No, they just can't f*****g afford almost €10 for a can that's 250ml. You're talking nearly €40 per litre of Smirnoff Ice which is taking the solid p**s,' Dave hit out. 'Save the environment, drink pints.' @mrdaveduke Lads, will someone shout stop? It's completely out of hand. #crokepark #inflation #concerts ♬ original sound – Dave Duke Social media users took to the comments to have their say, with many agreeing with Dave and sharing other shocking music venue prices. 'I was in the Aviva last night and two Smirnoff Ice and a bottle of water cost me €21,' one revealed, with another sharing: 'It was €9 at the Zach Bryan concert as well, but so were the plastic cups of beer.' A third offered: 'Malahide is €10.50.' A fourth person had the perfect solution, however, stating: 'You're at a match, sit down and watch it. Bring in a bottle of water with you. The reason they are expensive is because ye buy them.' It's a fair point, but others responded noting 'they're expensive because of greed.' Another person wrote: 'Don't buy it. Simple.'

'There's no kids playing. Kids are just literally bundled up on these tables. "They're not even being naughty. They're literally just sat there, with no one's talking.' This was particularly shocking to Charlotte since the session had been marketed as a superhero arts and crafts event.

She described how he approached a table, trying to find a spot, but no one acknowledged him. Advertisement 'He went over to one table, and none of the kids moved to let him sit down. Then he tried another one, and then another one, but no one helped him,' she explained. Seeing her son's sadness, Charlotte knew she couldn't leave him there.
