    could you PLEASE do me a massive favour.......

    i've been at every mayo game this year and coming up to the final i've just found out that the parents have'nt paid the GAA membership for this year which really hurts my chances of getting a ticket for the final

    can you please ask your local GAA club for a ticket to the All-Ireland Final and PM me with the response!!

    go raibh míle maith agaibh!!!

    I'll ask mine for you anyway. Not sure if they swapped them for hurling tickets but will ask and let you know the response.

    Lads, same for me, mad scramble for tickets down here ... quotas of 4 per person for Quarter Final being cut to 1 per person for final .... riduculous... how can you give people one ticket, when they've been travelling with partners friends etc.. all year.

    It will always be the same, mad mad rush and then on the Saturday the tickets will appear out of the cracks. The size of the stadium and still cannot get tickets, thats what we get for having sun shine supporters!

    The quicker allocation based on stubs is brought in then only the genuine fans will get the tickets.
    We should get 10 stubs for standing in the pissing rain in Ballinrobe for an FBD match!!! ;)

    For my sins I went to all the FBD and league games, myself, my dad & his mate are the apes who need a Mayo football fix every few weeks!!! We are like scouts, "He'll make it" , "He is bad" etc etc ;)

    Ditto for me on the tickets

    Yes the ticket system is a mess there allocated to clubs and of course the big companies have large blocks of tickets that they give to their business contacts. I heard from a fella who was at a football final a couple of years back who said he was sitting beside this guy who brought his girlfriend or wife to the game she never looked at the game just read a book and filed her nails during the game. Makes you sick but these type of people will be there again sunday week. My cousin is one of those fanatic supporters who never misses any Roscommon games and our minor team is in the final for the first time in 55 years. He might not get a ticket only 2000 tickets are being divided among the clubs. Our club has only 40 tickets and paid up players are getting priority which wont leave any left over its terrible. My cousin goes to most our club games but didnt bother paying membership but is as big a supporter of our club and county i think the tele in Quinns pub is as close as some of us will get to the sacred turf on Sunday week.
    Oh and the last time Roscommon won the minor our great neighbours Mayo won the senior game after i hope history repeats itself!

    Now you know how us Dubs felt in the run up to the semi-final! :(

    I've already requested my two tickets for the final from Croke Park but unfortunately, they're already going to a good Mayo man and his sister.

    Best of luck hunting and as patmac says, your best bet is on the day!
