Croke Park Tickets

gammon_steak

Hello,

Just looking for advice on which tickets to take for Croke Park.

My options are Cusack Lower Row N or Premium Level.

The Cusack option is between the 45 and midfield and more central where as the Premium ones are on the 21.

I'd rather the more central view the Cusack Lower offers but is Row N too close to the field to see the game properly? I was in row b before and couldn't see the game that well and swore "never again!"

Thanks in advance!

Row N is just fine in my opinion. Watched the 2006 Leinster final from row L and they were great seats.

I think the lower Cusack is fine. I've been right at the pitch in section 308 for the last few games and could see the action up the other end fine.
HOWEVER, if you are picky on your views then the upper stands, no matter where are always better.

You definately will miss nothing from the Premium level.

I'm in Section 308 Row S in the Cusack. Was told by someone who had very similar ticket that the view is excellent from there. Was a bit further back in same row last year for Semi Final and had a great view.

You'll have a good view from Row N in the Lower Cusack. Nothing wrong with your Premium Level option either, but I'd go with the Lower Cusack one if it were me.

Thanks for the replies!

I'll head to the Lower Cusack.

Row N between 45 and halfway is pretty much the perfect seat imo. Only thing is I don't think you are under cover if it rains.

rpurfield

yeah N is spot on.id say youd even be dry if it rained!!!

Depends what way the wind is blowing, if its coming straight down or accross the pitch towards you, you will get rained on.
But it its really bad you can head up the very back beside the bar and stand behind the last row. You can still see the game from there from the shelter.

Row N is very good IMO. I was in Row O at the KK vs Cork semi-final last weekend and you are not too near the front. As others have said, it depends on the wind direction whether or not you would get wet if it rained. But from my experience, the chances are that you would get wet. You need to be in the double letters to be nearly sure of dryness. Dry weather is forecast for the weekend so I'd go for the lower Cusack Stand tickets. Also, the atmosphere up in the Premium/Corporate Levels isn't always the best.

Id go premium level theres no cover in N in the lower stands in Croker you could end up getting pi##:Ded on!Im in the Nally on the 22nd so heres hoping for a fine day!

Upper tier Cusack tickets are on sale for the Tipp W'ford game. Not sure about Hogan. Bigger attendance expected anyway. Hopefully a more competitive game for the neutral.

It sounds like a good seat there in the Cusack but to be honest, no seats in the stadium compare to the premium level. They really are terrific, and probably beat even the coporate boxes in terms of veiwing quality. The atmosphere is very slightly worse, but you have the added option of being able to go in and watch the highlights at half time and a decent non crowded bar provided for you.

If you are getting the tickets for free or the same price, then jump at the chance of going to the premium if only for the viewing quality alone

Only seen this now. You sent him to the wrong place lads! People really shouldn't have replied to this thread if they haven't been in both places before

What a silly statement. So even if you have only been to one of the two areas, and are giving your opinion specifically on the one place you have been, without expressing a preference between the two, you should not post??

Seriously?? :cool:

Hulk Hands

Yeah, sorry. Just looked over it again and everyone did just say where they would choose rather then telling him where to go. My mistake

I've been to the premium level and lower cusack for lots of matches :cool:

BTW Premium level seats are not the best seats in the house, decent lower level seats are, purely in terms of view of the game I should add.

Thats rubbish imo, the premium level is nice and seats are grand/bar and food access is nice, but the seats are not as good as lower level seats around the centre line. You can still see the whole game and are closer to the action, while having a better athmosphere.

Does anyone know if there will be tickets on sale for the Lower Cusack at the official ticket outlets today?
Just back from hols and my friends have tickets and are in Lower Cusack and I want to go but would like to be seated relatively close to them?

I have sat in Ard Comhairle before. You know where the president, Gaa heads etc sit? Dead centre of the pitch on the hogan stand side, fairly far back, comfy padded seat. A few weeks later I sat stuck away in the premium in the corner of the canal end and I would still regard that as a much better view than the Ard Comhairle.

The Cusack lower is still better, thats the point the poster is making.

How is the lower Cusack and lower Hogan any different?

Anyone know of spare tickets for the Dublin Cork game going at the moment. Preferably for Hill 16
