    Looking for Football Final tickets here too.

    Anyone know the face value for these? I know of a Kerry club looking for €90 for their allocated tickets, which seems high...

    they are 80each for the stands, same as the last couple of years.

    no club/ county can charge more, and there was a row over a county board charging a "voluntary" contribution to the holiday fund (cant remember if it was Donegal or Mayo)

    Yeah Donegal got in bother in 2012 for adding about €10 for the county training fund, which is why I was surprised to hear of what sounded like the same again. The prices were sent out to club members via SMS this afternoon.

    At my local club they are obviously sorting out the club members first, but whoever is left looking for tickets will be put into a draw which is 20quid to enter and if you are picked out from the draw the ticket will be another €20 on top of the €80 so you are ultimately paying €120 for a ticket..ridiculous!

    Name and shame Gary. I can understand making profit on a raffle but to then sell the tickets for €20 above face value! :eek:

    Re Football tickets, seems pretty obvious nobodys going to swoop in here and offer asny tickets. Would it be easy to get tickets in Dublin on the day at the various pubs? Heard it was handy enough for the hurling , but obviously thats a different story with Tipp and KK having met in the final so many times recently.

    Seems a bit rich that selling tickets for more than face value isn't allowed here but yet the Boards money men are happy to accept advertising money from a site that advertises in this forum and are charging scandalous prices for tickets.

    I dont agree with lining the pockets of the touts & if we stick to Boards.IE we wont get ripped off if tickets do become available, wouln't even bother checking the other site you refer to.

    Thankfully I'll be ok for a ticket but it annoys me that these touts are allowed openly advertise here when some people are so desperate for a ticket that they'd pay anything. Holier than thou, except when advertising money is involved.....

    Gl to all looking for tickets and from experience a few years ago, don't panic too much until late next week when tickets are actually distributed.

    So I'm curious, if Donegal have allocated 1.2 tickets per Adult Member to every club, would you expect that every adult member of those clubs would get a ticket?

    Would it make any difference if I was a member of a club in a non-competing county, in your opinion & experience?
    I would think that even if I was a member of my local club, and bought tickets through them for every county game, that there are so few tickets in the non-competing counties that only the committee / county players would be in with a shout. Is that more or less the case?

    I'm wondering does anyone have any good advice (obviously too late for this year) about how to maximise your chances of getting AI tickets other than touting or the even more expensive premium seating routes.

    Many clubs will be the same around here and them handful of tickets will go to the chairman and secretary etc.

    So to answer Stabshauptmann question about

    "Would it make any difference if I was a member of a club in a non-competing county, in your opinion & experience?"

    Your answer would be no, as the club gets a few tickets if any and members won't even see them.

    All 4 semi finalists got an allocation thats a fact. My brother played on one of the county panels and they were allocated tickets, Sponsors aswell as Senior/Intermediate county champions got some too.

    Its not a straight 50 50 split of the finalists. Its never worked like that Ive not missed an All ireland final in 8 years even though me own county were not there.

    No. You haven't factored in children and other variables.

    Every club will be different. I know some who have draws (free and paid), others who give preference to members from or with parents in one of the competing counties and those whose tickets go to the Executive committees.

    Would be cheaper to buy the tickets to both finals off a tout. 850eur for tout vs 1333 for Premium.

    Any other suggestions on how to maximise your chances of getting a ticket?

    Just for the football final every year?

    You gonna go to any other games?

    A GAA Season ticket for any county, and if that county get to the AI you are sure of a ticket, need to attend 60% of games throughout the year AFAIK.

    From gaa.ie

    "In order to qualify for an All-Ireland Final ticket you must attend 60% or more of the total number of matches your county plays in the League & Championship in 2014"

    Lads with 60% got AI hurling tickets last week.

    Yes obviously each county board sent tickets back. Ya couldn't give tickets away outside the ground. 60% would not get you a ticket it would qualify you alright but on the allocation to season ticket holders if it came to a guy who attend 62% or guy who was at 78% the guy with 78% will get it. When purchasing a season ixkey they always say attend 75% and ya will get an AI final should we get there.
