    I know that you have to attend 60percent of games to be eligible for an All ireland ticket,but for the dubs ticket for the hill at 165euro would it be 60percent of each sport or 60percent total??

    It is 60% of all Dublin games (be they home or away) in the National League, Leinster and All Ireland championship, in whatever code you buy the season ticket for. So if you buy a football season ticket, it is the football games you go to that determines whether or not you meet the 60% attendance criteria that entitles you to buy an All Ireland football final ticket. The hurling games that you do or don't go to, are not relevant.

    And it's vice versa if you buy a hurling season ticket. Only the hurling games that you go to will determine whether or not you get a ticket to the hurling final.

    165 is a bit steep. Gaa milking it from the dubs fans because they know they will get the demand especially after last years final.

    165 extremely steep considering the stands are only 85, plus usually Hill tickets are cheaper than stand tickets so clearly its to milk the fans

    165 is a fair hit alright, especially if you are getting a couple of them.
    But it does include all the club championship matches in both codes.

    And while you may feel you are being milked the reality is that Dublin is the only county that you can guarantee yourself a ticket for the final (if you make it) with a season ticket without even leaving the county (and having to foot all the expenses associated with that).

    But as I said, still a fair hit to take on the lead up to Christmas

    The season ticket gets you into all the Dublin league games for free and the first Leinster champo game for free. It also gets you a fiver off every other Leinster and champo game that you go to. By by maths, that is 50 quid or so (league games) plus 25 quid (first Leinster game) plus 25 quid (fiver off five games presuming the Dubs don't have to go thru the back door) which puts you at 100 quid. You would have spent anyway going to those games, if you didn't have a season ticket.

    Look at it that way and it doesn't seem like such a rip off imo.

    €165 is a bit steep. The tickets are for the Hill only. 50 quid for the league games and €15 for the games up to the Leinster final.

    The point is that if you want to buy a season ticket for any other County it's €85 and thats for the stands.

    So the GAA is milking Dublin fans. Its nearly twice the price of any other season ticket for every other County.

    I think all the Dublin ones were renewed at 75, dont think anyone new ever got the chance to even buy one for 85.
    Isn't the hill16 one sold out now as well?

    I think you are getting hill 16 ticket mixed up with the Parnell pass, which is indeed the equivalent?

    Just wanted to know does the season ticket itself be used or do you have to print out a ticket and bring that with you to the match?

    When i say the ticket itself be used i mean do you get a card or something scanned at the turnstile like when you bring a season ticket to Old Trafford for example.

    You use the card for most of the league, you have to print out your tickets for Croke Park and for the championship.

    dose that 165 euro cover both hurling and football, if it dose it is cheeper then what i would have to pay, and bear in mind i would have to watch some below standerd division 4 games as opposed to the likes of the dubs,

    i like the hill think it has a good view from nearly anywhere but you have to remember how hard it was to get tickets for the all ireland, and in fairness the dubs should be there and there abouts again next september,

    if they do get there again you can walk around the city weeks in advance with a smug face that would put any d4 rugby head in his old belvadere blazer to shame as the rest of the city scramble for tickets

    When you have a few tickets on the same account they will automatically be seated together!

    Anyone know the potential price of national football league tickets when you have a student card? I'm trying to weigh up the cost versus the season ticket..

    Also if I do go ahead and buy the season ticket, for NFL games would I be free to stand in terrace, which I prefer, or would i be automatically assigned to seating stand only

    Most grounds they will let you into terrace, not Croke Park though. Garuantee of All Ireland ticket if we get to it again surely outways differance of Student prices?

    Got mine last night, never going through the horror of not being able to pick up an AI final ticket. Now we need to do it all again eh!:D:D:D
    If we get a good run in the league again the ticket will more or less pay for itself, but yeah it is a bit of a rip compared to the Cusack stand tickets.

    I’m guessing the reason no Dublin season tickets for the Cusack stand were sold was because of the right the season ticket gives you to an All-Ireland final ticket, if the Dubs are fortunate enough to get that far. Limit the number of Cusack stand season tickets and therefore limit the number seated All-Ireland tickets that have to go to season ticket holders.

    Why not instead of just selling Hill16 season tickets, continue to sell Cusack stand season tickets but with the caveat that if the Dubs gets to an All-Ireland new season ticket owners will be entitled to purchase a Hill16 ticket (and maybe after 2/3 years your entitlement changes to a Cusack stand ticket). Also continue the juvenile season ticket for Cusack stand but with no entitlement to All-Ireland ticket.

    For the record this will be my 4th year as a season ticket holder for the Dubs. It’s been incredible value when you consider you get the Spring Series, Club finals, International rules this year and the best seats in the house!

    I don't get the logic, am I missing something, you still have to pay more or less full price for the AI ticket, why would you limit season tickets for the Cusack? They are counted as part of Dublin allocation anyway, just like any other County offering season tickets.
    Why would you limit the amount of seated tickets for season ticket holders if they pay full price and have been to more matches.

    I'd say everyone just renewed their tickets from last year.
