There is a football fan in most Irish families who already owns the jersey, the scarf, the mug and possibly the duvet cover. At some point the merchandise runs out of road. A stadium tour is the obvious next step, but handing someone a booking confirmation on your phone does not feel like receiving a present.

That gap is the whole reason these exist. The stub carries a barcode and the words Admission One, exactly like a match ticket, so the first two seconds read as real. Parents tell us their children genuinely were not sure until they got to the personal message at the bottom, which is the moment worth buying.


Is a Stadium Tour the Right Gift?

Choose this when

  • They support one club properly, not football in general
  • You have the tour date confirmed, or can get it
  • It is a milestone birthday, a Communion or a Confirmation
  • You want something physical to hand over on the day

Choose something else when

  • The trip is not booked and may not happen, where a match day reveal carries less commitment
  • Flights and a hotel for a UK ground push it past your budget
  • You want them to scratch and find out, in which case a scratch off reveal suits better
  • The child is very young, when the tour itself is largely for the adult bringing them

The Finish Makes the Difference

What separates these from a printed card is the border. Every ticket is trimmed in foil or glitter, and the options are matched to the colours of the most commonly requested clubs so it reads as deliberate rather than whatever was in the drawer.

The glitter finishes shift colour as the card moves. The red picks up gold and deep crimson, the blue throws green, purple and silver depending on the light. The mirror foils are flatter and more graphic, with a clean reflective surface that photographs far better, which matters if the reveal is going on a phone.

Every Club Design

Club not listed? Every ticket is drawn to order, so send the stadium and club name in the order notes and we will match the colours. We have done grounds across Europe and a fair few American ones too.

Where to Book the Tour Itself

We do not sell the tour, only the card that announces it. Book direct with the club, since third party resellers rarely beat the official price and often cannot honour date changes.

Questions We Get Asked

Do I need the tour booked before I order the ticket?

It is much easier if you do, since the date is printed on the card. If you want to hand it over before the date is fixed, ask for a placeholder in the order notes and we will design around it rather than printing something you will have to explain away.

How long does it take to arrive?

Two to three working days to make and dispatch from the studio, with An Post adding one to three on top depending on where you are. If a birthday is tight, message us before ordering rather than after and we will tell you honestly whether it will land.

Can you do a club that is not listed?

Yes. Every ticket is made to order, so put the club and stadium in the order notes and we will match the colours to the crest. Grounds across Europe, Australia and the United States have all been done.

What size is the ticket?

DL, the long slim cheque book shape a concert or match ticket comes in. It arrives in a coordinating kraft envelope, ready to hand over without wrapping.

Can I order matching tickets for a group?

Yes, and it is worth doing if several children are going. Get in touch with the names and we will set them up together. Revealing them all at once makes for a far better photograph than one at a time.

Where are these made?

In our studio in Mallow, Co. Cork. The foiling is done here by hand, which is the reason there is a real person reading your personalisation before it goes anywhere near a press.

Different club, an unusual stadium, or a group of tickets for a whole team? Tell us the names, the ground and the date and we will tell you honestly whether we can do it in time.

Natali, founder of Printarelle

I design, print and hand finish every order from our studio in Mallow, Co. Cork. The barcode and the Admission One line on the stub were added after a customer told me her son had tried to scan the first version at the turnstile.

Give them something to hold
