Trampas

On sale on ticketmaster now so nobody can complain about not having tickets.

i wonder how many of those who wer complaining during the summer about the lack of tickets will make the effort to go watch the blues on a cold february evening?

I can't wait for this.
I've roped in lots of mates who wouldn't normally go to Parnell (or probably any other game), but a Sat night and the lure of the first match at Croker under floodlights has worked.
I know some aren't happy from the move away from Parnell, but this is a great opportunity to increase the fanbase.. (yeah, I know Brennan & Co are looking at it financially, but feck it.)
The GAA hope to get around 60k. It would be brilliant if they could surpass this amount.

its a pity that gaa cant sell them directly off theyre own site, hence avoiding the 2.95 extra fee but thats another arguement for another day

been on ticketmaster all day trying to pick up some tix for this, but it seems that the only seating tickets are in the lower cusack, section 301 which is a crap location. call me fussy, but I'd like to be in a mid-field section and preferable an upper tier.

anyone know if these sections will go on sale later as they fill the lower tiers ?

heard on newstalk this morning 10,000 area already sold.

Better off ringing the GAA ticketline direct if you want your pick of the good seats.
I don't have the number to hand but I'm sure it's on the GAA website.

I got my ticket from Ticketmaster, and it arrived already. An event not to be missed. Today I watched the full Dublin v Tyrone drawn quarter final in 2005 on DVD. Great stuff. Hopefully we'll get something closer to that, and not the "battle of Omagh".

Anyone else still waiting on their tickets from ticketmaster?
I booked mine the day they went on sale.
Have vague memories of coming in drunk over Christmas week and seeing them and chucking them away in my room, but I'm not sure...

Will this set a record attendance for an NFL game?

Anyone know what the existing record is?

Don't know off hand but I imagine it would be close, they were saying there were already 30000 tickets sold and that they were expecting in the region of 70000 on the night.

I knows there's been floodlight games for a while now but there's still the novelty of it being the first one at Croker and if last's years game is anything to go by then a tasty affair is on the cards as well.

If anything I would imagine last years game will make more people stay away than it will attract, well at least amoungst true lovers of football.

Well last year we marched up to the North and beat Tyrone at their own game,albeit marred by the melees.

I think both teams will be conscious of what happened last year with a few grudges lasting...Alan Brogan,Mulligan and O Neill spring to mind.However,I am anticipating this match in the hope that both teams will have moved on from Omagh or at least keep their tempers in check and play the game.

I think we will be treated to the latter because

1.Both teams are not going to want to make asses of themselves in a televised,first match under fllodlights in Croke Park.

2.I believe the crowd going to this match will be less hostile/volatile than the fans that were in Omagh.

3.There has been new regulations,reducing the members of management at the sideline.Plus managers are only allowed near the 45 yard line with these new regulations.

Just got my ticket today for it. Looking forward to watching a match under floodlights in croker. Hopefully it will be a decent game of football. If there are scenes similar to last year it will be a big shame but i'm optimistic that it won't be.
