    What county are you looking to buy a pass for and what code, Hurling or Football?

    GAA Season Ticket is county specific & code specific, so that means you need one for hurling and one for football.

    The Ticket provides entry for one person to all of your county’s Allianz Leagues matches & GAA Senior Championship matches ("Pay & Play" applies after the opening Championship fixture).

    You pay €95 up front for the season ticket.

    This €95 will entitle the holder to free admission to all national league games in the chosen code of hurling or football) not just for the chosen county, but all national league games full stop, including quarter finals, semi finals and finals.

    Counties will have at least between 5 and 7 league games (all football counties get 7, hurling counties get 5 or 6, 3 for division 3B teams). They may get up to an additional three games depending on if the county reaches knock out stages or play offs and so on.

    The ticket also entitles the user to free admission to the first championship game the county plays.

    Just to add, the season ticket also allows the user to free entry to the All-Ireland club finals on St. Patrick's day.

    After that, from the county's second game onwards, tickets must now be paid for at a cost of €5 less than the general sale price of the tickets. Season ticket holder will be guaranteed a stand ticket for all games. The charges will be applied to the credit/debit card supplied used with the account.

    All-Ireland final ticket guaranteed if the county makes the final and the ticket holder has attended no less than 60% of the teams games.

    If your son is under 16 his ticket will cost just €10 instead of €95, a nice reduction.


    Sorry if that's a bit long winded! And if you're wondering what the final cost might be, I got a ticket last year, paid €95 up front. Attended 5 of my county's 6 league games, got the first championship game free. My county had an additional three games and if I recall correctly costing me €20, €10 and €15 each, so total cost came to €140.

    On top of the up front payment you could expect to pay an additional €10 to €100 a year depending on how well a team does and how many games they play, throw another €80 on top if they make the All-Ireland final.

    Yep, 100% guaranteed. Nothing to stop you sharing it with friends either, they don't look for ID or anything like that. :)

    If your a dub and follow football and hurling, the Parnell pass also a good option - I think it's 165 for adult, no idea what child is.

    You get admission to all club games in Dublin including the final on paddys day I think.

    Also get admission to all home league games.

    And you are guaranteed a ticket to any championship game that Dublin are playing in. Note that you must buy this ticket at face value. But you don't have to go to any game and you are still guaranteed ticket for the all Ireland final in either code if Dublin reach the final

    Mayo and Dublin season tickets are capped and have been sold out for the last few years, they are only open for renewals.

    Loads of info here on how the season ticket works;

    Open to correction here, but I'm 99% certain the early bird rate only applies to renewals as opposed to new sign ups.

    You can also setup a seating group for championship games in Croke park. So if your team get to the quarters, semis and final and you created a seating group with other people you know with a season ticket you'll be guaranteed a seat at the final beside each other. Seating groups can be up to 10 people.

    The season ticket also gives you the 'bring a friend' option, if you want to bring a third person to the games that you & your son are attending. You can do it on a game by game basis, for all games up to the All Ireland final. That third person is not committed to attend any future games & they are guaranteed to be sitting beside you.

    The season ticket section in Croke Park tends to be really good seats in the Lower Cusack. However, as the year goes on, more season ticket holders attend the bigger games, than the games in May/June. For the earlier rounds of games, the odds are good of you all sitting together in the really good seats, as the place will be half empty. However, if you elect to bring a friend to the later round games, you run the risk of being bumped to an inferior section. They are not going to bump a season ticket holder from the good ST seats, to make way for your "friend."
