    makes me sick, they give the exact seat numbers so GAA should be checking who those tickets were issued to originally and cut them off. I'm tempted to create a fake account on ebay to screw up their listing.

    What an Idiot. He says 2 Premium Tickets.... in the Lower Cusack Stand! Doesn't even know what Premium Tickets are!!!


    Makes me sick. I, and many true fans will most likely end up watching on TV because I can't get a ticket! And Money grabbers like this person get them.

    Don't make me laugh, there is nothing illegal in Ireland about selling on ticket more than face value. The guards would most likely tell you to stop wasting their valuable time.

    Exactly, if it's that annoying then simply don't buy.

    Without touts it would be possible to gain access to some events.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,012 ✭✭✭mjp


    Touting is purely on a supply and demand basis.
    Went to the hurling final last weekend without a ticket and picket up a lower hogan for €40 with face value 80. Friend picked one up for 20 outside @ 3:20 if you were willing to wait that close to throw in. Never seen as many tickets available on all ireland day.

    Opposite to this will be the case next weekend where it will be the most in demand tickets of the year.The huge demand by all the corporates is driving up the prices of tickets and meaning lot of the dublin fans will have to pay top price for tickets.

    I have heard that many of the gaa clubs around the country are cashing in and selling their allocation of tickets at inflated prices and making a few quid for the club. This has been common practise by rugby clubs around the country for last couple of years making it a nice moneyspinner

    It's usually easy enough to get tickets for the final. I travel to Dublin every year usually for the football and the only time I had trouble getting tickets was for Cork/Kerry. Even then I had the option for a ticket at face value but was with a friend so ideally we wanted 2 and the tickets were scarce enough that day so we just opted for the pub. I'd imagine tickets will be scarce enough next week as well but there are always tickets at face value within an hour or 2 of kick off. Dublin will bring a huge demand on tickets though but I'd imagine there will still be some floating around. If you're from Dublin it'd definitely be worth walking around on the day as you might find some.

    I totally agree it's a disgrace the way ticket's are being sold for crazy amount's of money:mad:. If we the ordinary public are aware of these ticket's being advertised at these prices surely the Gards can do something.
    My husband and two son's go to all the Dublin match's home and away, they travel the country to support the boy's in blue and now they are having an awful job trying to get ticket's it break's my heart my youngest (14) has said if he does'nt get a ticket he's not going to any matches next season :(and I don't really blame him feeling that way although I'm sure come next year he'll be the first one wanting to go.
    I just feel the GAA don't care as long as they get their money something has to be done to ensure the genuine fan's who go in all weather to support their team should get ticket's it's just so annoying....:mad::mad::mad::mad: and totally unfair.

    The GAA has a season ticket now, so people who go to all games can get one and now be sorted for the final. You can no longer say that they do nothing for the fan because you didn't bother buying a season ticket.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,620 ✭✭✭Grudaire


    Yeah, if they go to all the games, not only is it cheaper for your husband and sons, you're also guaranteed tickets all the way to the final.

    How else can an organisation be expected to defend genuine fans!? :D

    They have actually done loads, but as much as they do there will still be disgruntled people. Such is life.

    Look, i disagree with charging over the odds for tickets and i would never ever pay over face price. i hate touts and would never give them any of my money.

    People can not be realistic if they think they are going to get 2 or more tickets. I know people have gone to every game all year, and haven't missed a match in 35 years etc etc, but All Ireland finals are different. If people know they are going to go to every match, then buy the season ticket, and buy a season ticket for the children too. Its as simple as that. it works out cheaper, better tickets, and no hassle.

    I have sympathy for people who don't get tickets, but its just tough luck. My father didn't bring me to the All Ireland football final in 1990, he didn't bring me to the semi final in 95 between Cork and Dublin, but that's just tough luck, if the tickets aren't available, there is nothing you can do.

    I would like to think that there will be enough tickets in Dublin, because there was a Dublin club raffling 6 of them outside Semple Stadium last night.

    I don't think it was a Dublin Club, it is a Thurles club with the same name as a Dublin club AFAIK. Anyway I'm in the draw desperation stahes at this stage.

    I agree the season ticket is great for the loyal fans. But it doesn't suit everyone. I am a mentor in a club and like many others have brought loads of kids to all the games league and Chanpionship. We either go for the group pass or order through the club so attendance can be verified. However this does not come under consideration when looking for a ticket next week. Basically we are losing out for bringing kids to games rather than going alone with the season ticket.

    Great system. Myself and the kid have one each. In it since the start, only thing that bothers me is this year, the fact that i cant get the occasional seat with us for a guest.

    A season ticket seems like a good idea however as someone pointed out it might not suit everyone

    Of course, it's very difficult to suit everyone but I don't think the GAA can be accused of nothing putting a product in place which rewards fans - something which the poster accused them of.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,283 ✭✭✭Billy Mays


    I do have a bit of sympathy for people who can't get a ticket who regularly go to games but at the same time it's common knowledge that tickets for the finals (both hurling and football) never go on sale to the general public through Ticketmaster and Tickets.ie. Why did people think this year was gonna be any different? If you're a proper fan who goes to all games you really have no excuse for not getting the season ticket or the Parnell Park pass which offer great value. I remember the scramble for tickets throughout the 2002 championship (queueing outside Croker for 4 hours in the hope of getting a ticket for the quarter final) and swore to myself the first thing I'm doing next year is getting the Parnell Park pass so I won't have to go through that again and I've got it every year since. People saying the GAA do nothing for the genuine fan are off the mark. The season ticket was introduced to look after the genuine fan. That said I do feel for club members who always got their ticket through the club and are now stung without one.

    I have got my tickets through my club for the past number of years, I am now in a lottery for the opportunity to purchase one ticket should I be lucky enough to have my name pulled out. I have a friend who is not a member of a club but who's young lad is. He has purchased two adult and three kids tickets this year for all games through ticketmaster.

    He was given the opportunity to purchase five full price tickets last week by ticketmaster and availed of it. I am lucky he is only using three of them and I have the other two.

    I'm delighted to get two tickets, kids are not happy their not going. Would love to know how many tickets ticketmaster received.

    My club have yet to hear how many they will receive but are hoping for around 200.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,335 ✭✭✭Tiocfaidh Armani


    People saying you'll get one face value on the day no bother I don't think are Dubs because the demand is absolutely huge. You could get 150,000 in Croker next week. Everyone I know is mad for a ticket. You won't get one on the day for value. ABSOLUTELY NOT A HOPE. Take it from a Dub - don't bother, you're wasting your time.

    The GAA reward the clubs who are the lifeblood of the game. They also have a very reasonable season ticket system in operation that rewards the fans who go and give unreal deals for kids. I mean €10 for a kids season ticket, where would you get that? If you don't have one and go to every game, how are the GAA to know? What do you want them to do for you? I mean seriously folks get real, stop moaning when there's no substance for you moaning.

    Season ticket is all good and well if you are from one of the Bigger counties, I am a huge GAA fan who's from Roscommon but lives in Dublin. I was lucky enough to get to see Roscommon (minors and Seniors) in Croke park this year. The issue is I go to most game in Croke Park (and lots of league games to regardless of the counties involved), all 4 semi finals (hurling and football) and a couple of quarter finals.
    Since I am not in a club I don't have access to All Ireland Final tickets and I have to do my usual calling in favours for one.
    The Season ticket is a good idea but from what I can see of it,it's not much use to me.

    Crazy and plain ignorant statement.
    If your Husband and kids really travel the country (which they do not in my opinion) they would have a season ticket, otherwise they may as well just head to the nearest pond and feed the ducks with 20 euro notes.

    The GAA are doing plenty to ensure loyal fans get tickets. All you need to do is "prove" your loyalty by actually getting the season tickets and going to games.

    I am a wee bit lost as to what is wrong with the season ticket.

    The season ticket is a cheap way of following your county.
    PLUS guarantees tickets for any subsequent championship games after the first one
    PLUS guarantees you a ticket for the final should your team get to the final
    Great for fans of a county regardless of its size
    It rewards people who put in the miles and attend games involving their county.
    Without progress to teh championship you still save a packet, so its a worthwhile scheme.

    You seem to prefer not to support your county and simply go to all the big games in croke park involving other counties. Thats also valid.
    And theres also a ticket for lads like you.

    The 10 year ticket entitles you entry to the premium level for all football and hurling games.
    Seeing as you dont travel down the country to follow your team, you are saving 100s per year on travel and accomodation etc so the cost of 1200 a year for your personal seat in croke park down the road isnt actually all that steep all considered.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,819 ✭✭✭✭Fr Tod Umptious


    there needs to be transparency with who got what tickets wise

    breakdown to counties clubs and corporate ...

    usual BS in the GAA


    elaborate ?

    Any fan who really wants to get to an All Ireland final will get a ticket but my God yopu have to work for it.

    Phone and e-mail all people you know just after your team wins the semi final.
    Phone, text and e-mail them again a few days later.
    Enter every competition in the papers, TV, internet etc.
    Spend Saturday night before the final thrwaling the GAA pubs and hotels looking for a ticket.
    Spend from 8am Sunday morning to game time hanging around between o Connell st and Croke Park.
    If with a few min to go you still don't have one then find the nearst tout and follow him around until 3.35, then watch the price plummet.

    And if after all that you still don't have a ticket, well you just did not try hard enough.

    So many of us struggling for tickets now that my junior club only got ~30 tickets. I've attended nearly all home league and Championship games but whether I get a ticket or not is up to fate. I certainly haven't the money to be going down the tout route, so its this or nothing.

    Think I'll have to go down the season ticket route next year instead of through the club.

    Sorry for the confusion, I do support my own County (mentioned that I go to league games etc) but I am also a GAA fan who goes to alot of games that don't involve my county (both league and championship).

    10 year ticket isn't an option for your average supporter really.

    while I am happy that the GAA are starting to address the ticketing issues they have they have a long way to go still. I know a number of GAA fans that are in a similar position to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 553 ✭✭✭TakeTheVeil


    @Fr Chewy Louie

    Yeah, we'll definitely be in the city early doors come Sunday...and were planning on settling in a pub around Croker so as to pick up unsold tickets post-throw-in.

    Otherwise, my options are pretty limited. Ill be entering the competitions for sure.. but everyone I know associated with the GAA is in the same boat as me. I already exhausted my Louth connection to no use.

    I expect two or three of us will get tickets, but its just a pity the group of us going all year (and previous years) will be split up on the day.

    Explain that please.

    What do you want them to do ?

    Give us some ideas here.

    The season ticket is a a brilliant idea.

    I recall then selling 'packages' that got you into the QFs and Semis for discounted prices.

    True a 10 year ticket may not suite everyone but there is only one football game a year that a fan really would have trouble getting a ticket to and that is the final.

    What the clubs do with their allocation is up to themselves so you cannot legislate at the top level about how All Ireland final tickets are distributed once they get to the clubs.

    And as I have said may times a fan who wants a ticket to the final will get one if they try hard enough.

    Largely true, but this particular All-Ireland? Totally different and that not that simple. The demand is unreal.

    I agree the Season Ticket is a good idea. I also think the Kids tickets for a €5 was a super idea and a couple of my nieces and nephews got to see their county in action because of it (not my county but I was going anyway :) ).

    Maybe they could have a Fan Card for supporters and if you go to more than 10 games (10 as an example) in the league or Championship you have a chance in a random draw to get a ticket for the final of that code (Similar to the Season ticket but not tied down to one County).

    I know Dublin have a Parnell pass (think thats what it's called) so why not roll that out on a bigger scale.

    I just want to have the possibility of getting a ticket off my own bat without having to call in favours to get one.

    No doubt in the future I will be heavily involved in my local GAA club (where ever that will eventually be) but it's not an option at the moment.

    No doubt in the future I will be heavily involved in my local GAA club (where ever that will eventually be) but it's not an option at the moment.

    Parnell Pass is a Dublin GAA initiative , they have the same in other counties, Kerry have had a similar scheme running for a good number of years.
    You pay a lump sum at the begining of the period and you are entitled to purchase a ticket to any Kerry game in Croke Park for the duration of the scheme.
    Many however who were in the 'scheme' have since moved to the season ticket so it will be interesting to see the uptake once this current period runs out.

    Sorry for the confusion, I do support my own County (mentioned that I go to league games etc) but I am also a GAA fan who goes to alot of games that don't involve my county (both league and championship).

    10 year ticket isn't an option for your average supporter really.

    while I am happy that the GAA are starting to address the ticketing issues they have they have a long way to go still. I know a number of GAA fans that are in a similar position to me.

    If you have a season ticket for roscommon and went to all there games there is a strong chance you would get a ticket for the all ireland final

    Hubby does the Kerry "scheme" and the season ticket.Hence,we have two tickets sitting on our mantlepiece.:D

    I have never failed to get a ticket, because I put the word out early enough.Waiting to the week of the all-Ireland is too late.
