Can this person provide reassurances that the proceeds are indeed going towards a good cause? I'm sceptical to say the least!

you and me both - sure they never even mentioned the charity name

ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF THE TICKETS WILL GO TO SUPPORT AND CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH AN INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY.

If this is true I guess it's not so bad. Don't get me wrong, I find it annoying that people who don't even want these tickets can just get them handed to them while I'm practically scrounging in the muck to try unearth just one. But remember that FM104 have 5 pairs of Hill tickets that they're giving away in a competition, for which people have to listen to FM104, thereby increasing their profits. I mean would you really object if these tickets were donated to, say, a local school or youth group to use as a prize in a raffle that would support the work they do? If the above quote is true it's the same thing really as far as I can see. Unfortunately there's no way to verify it though with the demand for tickets there was probably no need to put the statement there if it was untrue.

Edit: looks like a few people nipped in before me there! And yeah, I agree, I'm sceptical. My post starts with a very big IF...

The Rooster

I wouldnt worry about this too much. These are premium tickets bought for big money. They wouldnt be available to the ordinary Joe in any event.

If ordinary tickets were going up on e-bay, then I'd be getting miffed.

People putting those sort of tickets up Rooster, have an intellectual disability. If any ticketless, genuine, fan got their hands on them, they'd end up with a physical disability too!

I've managed to get one and I hope all the rest of us here that want to go will have one too.

I'm trying to picture the Premium seats in the Hogan.

Corp boxes are in the Cusack or do they go all around the stands?

E810 to be to far way from the pitch to identify anything? No thanks.

Sandwichs made of prawns come to mind with those seats.

I was in the Premium level with a customer for the Westmeath game... **** atmosphear.. I was wishing i was in the Hill or the Canal (Which was jam packed full od dubs and looked like lots of fun) I havent been to the upper deck since it opened but IMO the Hill or lower stands are the place to be.

PS..I have the crazy situation of being offered 6 (count em) 6 tickets...Sure I only want one.

As long as I can get one ofr the kerry game (regardless of the outcome of the semi) too Ill be a happy camper

You'll have no problem getting rid of 5 tickets. Just be sure they go to deserving people, though I don't need to tell you that. If I hadn't got sorted earlier, I'd take one off you myself.

Oh Im not taking them cause I know they will go to Dubs (I am getting 2 hill for me and my ever present sidekick) .. If I thought they wouldn't I would take them and get them out to fellow club mates and people I know are regulars

Look at the bid history for the tickets. Sceptical in the least :rolleyes:

I'm desparately looking for two tickets. I've been to every Dublin home game in the league and championship this year and despite the fact that I'm guaranteed two tickets for the final, I've been unable to source tickets for this weekend.

Are those 5 tickets possible still available? Send me a private message if you can help me out.

Thanks.

BOHS

Not sure if this is allowed and if not feel free to erase it but if anyone got 1 ticket and are willing to sell or swap for tickets to The Flaming Lips or Damien Rice lets us know

Don't people tend to place fake bids in the hope of ruining the auction?
tHIS happened a lot for the Munster vs Leinster game earlier this year.

THe fact that the bidder has zero feedback means they have nothing to lose.
