Corporate Box tickets question

    I've never been into a corporate box before and have managed to snag two tickets for this Sunday's NFL finals. However, upon opening the envelope with the tickets, I notice that neither ticket has a date on them - just Suite and Seat Number - is this normal? It's definitely an official GAA ticket, but doesn't seem to specify what date or event it can be used for!

    Can someone who has used this type of ticket before enlighten me?

    Thanks :)

    No idea about the date thing, but how about posting back here next week to let us commoners know what the corporate box experience is like?

    Enjoy it! :)

    Yeah that seems quite normal. I got quite a few premium level tickets in my time and some of them were the same. The way I think it works is that the owner of the seats gets sent a book of tickets at the start of the year, with all the scheduled games in them. Theres also a load of non event specific tickets called reserve tickets included, Reserve Ticket 1, Reserve Ticket 2 etc. These are used for replays or games that can't be strictly scheduled at the start of the year. If this is the case, the owner gets a letter a week before the match from the GAA telling them to use Reserve Ticket X this match.

    I dont know how the 2009 corporate tickets look, but they could be colour coded rather than numbered, but theres definitely some unique identifier on them.

    My dad used to give me his tickets for the corporate box and it's perfectly normal OP. You will love it there - Try the steak in the restaurant when you're up there, it will set you up nicely for the match ;)

    Will make a change from the 1st two times I was in Croker - the '84 and '85 finals, had to drive up from Galway (a long way in those days), crawl under the turnstiles and my brother and I sat on my Dad's knees; one knee each! At least Kerry beat Dublin both times :) Wouldn't fancy my chances of crawling underneath the turnstiles now!
