Maybe, but with the Dubs involved, any general release tickets will sell in a matter of minutes. The Dublin v Derry game sold the Ticketmaster allocation (1800) in less than 20 mins.

Tickets still available on Ticketmaster for Cork v Meath, if anyone's interested.......

Any idea where I could find out exactly? No indication on the GAA site or ticketmaster (just says they ain't 'currently available').

They sold out for Dublin and Derry very quickly, but there were loads of people with spare tickets around Drumcondra for face value and even below yesterday. The same will happen for the Dublin v Kerry match.

That's all they'll say, at least until tomorrow. Don't worry, as soon as they become available, you'll know. As I've just posted, even if you don't get one, there will be ones to be got for face value on the day. So don't give up hope. Lots of people who hadn't got one last week, were at the match yesterday, having got tickets eventually.

Cheers Flukey!

There were even spare premium tickets available on both Saturday and Sunday. The tickets will sell out quickly this week, but, as always happens, some will appear next week. We said this to the many disappointed people looking for Dublin v Derry tickets on the day they sold out, but all of the Dublin regulars here, and friends, got tickets, even as late as Saturday.

I wouldn't worry too much about Ticketmaster. They'll have all the worst seats, no Hill tickets for Dublin games and you'll just stress yourself trying to negotiate their mad non-system of selling GAA tickets. On Friday I had almost given up on getting a ticket. By Saturday morning I had 1 in my pocket, was on my way to pick up another one, and had been offered 4 others. En route to picking up the second ticket I was offered several more at face value - I probably could have got about 10 had I wanted them.

The only good thing about Ticketmaster is that if you're going with people you're more likely to get tickets together that way.

I had difficulty getting tickets for the Derry game until Friday when 2 suddenly came available in the early evening. Then later on I heard my taxi driver refuse 6(!) tickets, and by 12pm Sat we'd been offered 4 more.

I was in the Hill 16 pub beforehand and there were tickets galore available. Id say i must have been offered about 20 tickets at face value by people walking by and that included Hill tickets. Id say if you were asking people there would be a huge amount more about. Derry had quite a few there and id say more than Kerry will have in the Semis so whouldnt be too many problems. Roll on the 26th anyway and i have full faith it will only be our 2nd last outing this year.

Yep. Agree the pubs are a great place to source a ticket but the reality is if Dublin get to an All-Ireland Final there are going to be a lot of disappointed fans because no tickets will go on sale to the General Public.

So if you are a Dub Fan; starting ringing your Culchie Cousins now for tickets.

Nalced_irl

Not only that sgthighway, id say clubs will get about 1 ticket for every 30 people or something (probably a silly guess, i dunno). Either way, if you dont get a ticket for the game, The Big Tree pub, big screen (actually giant screen) and im sure alot of ticketless supporters so would still be a great day out.

Just got that from Croke Park.

Will tickets be available to all clubs or just clubs in the relevant counties? I don't understand the distribution policy for semi finals and finals.

Nalced_irl

I think for finals its mainly just the counties involved. I think other counties get basically a handfull but very very few. As far as i recall, the club im with got about 5 tickets for last years final but could be wrong. May even have been less.

Theres no tickets going on general sale, I phoned Croker this afternoon. All tickets are going to County boards and clubs :mad:

In a sense,if you are trying to get tix for others its bad news but for real supporters its great news.At this stage of the competition the touts will up their prices even more and when you cut out toutmaster the touts can't get their big grubby hands on as many tickets that should be going to the real supporters.

True true, ticket b*****d normally have crappy tickets anyway, hopefully Galway -v- Kerry minor match will be changed to that day....

blackbelt

Maybe I'm being harsh but I've no problem with Ticketmaster.I only think that they should have an allocation for provincial championships and maybe some quarter finals but from then on it should not go on general sale.Meath V Cork can be bought from TM but a match like Kerry v Dublin will sell out from the club and county board sources and thats where the real fans are.Those who contribute to the clubs and those who basically fund the county board and the county itself.

GalwayDub2

Totall agree with you, I just meant with a high profile match normally ticket b*****d wouldnt have good tickets.

popebenny16

In theory ticketmaster have an arraignment up till the semis - ie no the finals. Now obviously the exact nature of this arrangement is variable - I'm sure there are plenty of tickets for the Cork/Meath match and obviously plenty for the Waterford/Cork - Kilkenny/Wexford game (officially a semi final lol) but there may be a token allocation for this match. Reminds me of the Dublin/Armagh 2002 situation all over again.

You should also watch out for returns next week and hope for the best. If all else fails try pubs on the day in the event that some lad has failed to make it and there's a few spare on offer. Kerry should travel in good numbers for this one I think and that limits things a bit.
