2016 Season Ticket

ProudDUB

Are the club finals not General Admission....in that you sit where ever you want. There are no assigned seats on tickets. Coulda sworn that was the case last year, but maybe I'm mixing it up with something else.

Not sure, haven't been in a few years but it was assigned seating the last time I was there.

ProudDUB

Fair enough so. Maybe I'm mixing it up with the Aussie Rules, or something else like that.

No they are always assigned seating but that's not to say you can move around as it will be half empty.

The Aussie Rules is assigned seating too!

ProudDUB

Well, gosh darn it. What was it then? I distinctly remember buying a ticket that was General Admission. I was kicking myself that I didn't get there earlier, coz I could have nabbed a great seat right on the half way line, if I did. Maybe it was the Eucharistic Congress.

Junior/Intermediate finals maybe?

My lot scanned okay, however one of the lads on a group I'm on sent an email to the GAA Season Ticket Office as his Attendance has not registered, this is the reply he received.......

Hi XXXXXX,

Thank you for your reply,

We can only use two means of attendance verification, namely, the scanners and/or the season ticket holder lists.

Unfortunately, we can not update attendance with photographs.

The system works in the following manner:

One person enters the self scan stile and presents one card under the scanner.

If the card is valid and scans successfully the person is advised to then pass through the stile.

Upon exiting the stile a beam is broken thus validating the scan, recording the barcode and re-setting the scanner for the next person to repeat the same process.

There is a 40 second time limit from the time that the scanner reads a successful scan and when the beam at the exit of the stile must be broken.

Any attempted scanning of multiple cards by one person or any delay causing the 40 second time limit to lapse will affect the recording of a season ticket.

Each season ticket holder must scan their card in this manner and pass through the stiles once a successful scan is displayed on the scanning device.

As stated, the system worked normally and correctly on the night and I'm afraid that we cannot manually amend any attendance records for the fixture in question in light of this.

If you feel that there may be an issue with tickets scanning going forward, you can give your details to the steward at the season ticket stile who has a list of all season ticket holders.

He/She will mark the attendance and this will then be updated during the week following the game.

I apologies I can not be of assistance to your request.

Kind regards,
Frank.

That's a great suggestion from Frank, but you wouldn't know that your ticket wasn't scanned until days after. At which time they apparently will not correct their mistake.
So now every season ticket holder is going to have to queue up to go to the steward at the season ticket stile and have their name checked off, and then go through the scanner.

Also I regularly get stuck in turnstiles for more than 40 seconds(literally the only downside to sporting a fashionable man-bag)

mayo.mick

Well *Frank* I'll correct you on how the self scanners worked in Castlebar the last match. My niece was in front of me. Young lad at the stile opened it *before* she scanned her card. It was however updated but many others were not.

Donegal v Mayo match attendance from yesterday updated super quick this week. Updated before noon this morning! Make sure to check your's is updated.

I've noticed when in Croke Park, s soon as you go through the stiles your attendance is updated. If playing at home it can take 4 or 5 days sometimes, must be the state of the *broadband*

I've seen it take a few days to update after a game in Croker, I think they got the finger out because of the amount of complaints they received re. attendances not updating after the Mayo v Dublin game....

I know the last time we played Dublin in Croke park, not sure if it was 1st match or replay last August, I checked my attendance as soon as I went through the stile and it was updated! (I'm nearly sure it was then, but could be wrong the way months and years are flying!)

I see there was a grumpy e-mail sent out from the ticket office today about giving spare season tickets to people to use outside the ground. This has been going on for years but they only seem to have just realised. Of course it's almost impossible to police so as long as your not shouting your mouth off about it at the turnstiles you should be fine.

It'd be more in their line to sort out season ticket holders attendance not been updated correctly!

This was the mail we recieved this morning. We're still waiting for them to respond RE our mail regarding season ticket scanning issues at the Mayo v Dublin match in MacHale Park.

Grats

They previously issued a directive stating that season ticket holders could not scan any more than one ticket at the turnstiles. This forced holders to get other match goers to scan the ticket for them. In forcing this directive it meant that match goers who would have otherwise paid to gain entry were now been offered a free ticket. As a result, a loss to the GAA. The solution is to scan the damn tickets in the first place. We've already paid for them.

I don't understand why people would buy more season tickets than they need. I get that someone might not make every match. Things come up etc

They dont. As you said, if someone can't make the match they ask their friend to scan their ticket. We've already paid for the ticket, so nothing wrong there.

But the idea of the season ticket is to reward loyalty with an All-Ireland ticket if the county makes it. Why get the ticket scanned and pretend you were there if you weren't?

The quota is 60% attendance. If a person can't make a game then it won't affect their good standing. If they're missing loads of games then it will.

Just putting this out there in advance. If anyone cant make the club finals on Paddys day it would be greatly appreciated if you could send your tickets onto me if you wont be making use of them. I was planing to bring my father whom is a Limerick man and hasn't been at Croker in years and will be cheering on Na Piarsaigh so looking for 2 if any are available

There will be loads available, a lot of season ticket holders might not realize that they are entitled to them!

Interesting about the 40 seconds at the stile and the *beam*. This could be what was causing all the season tickets not being recorded correctly at the Mayo v Dublin match?

Hi folks,

Anybody not using their season ticket for the club finals want to donate them to a Ballyboden man?

I'd like to bring the family in with me and have them sitting close by in Section 309.

If your feeling generous please send by PM (tickets are free for season ticket holders and are available in special purchases)

I don't think it counts for attendance

Cheers

M

billyhead

Likewise. If anyone has 2 spares club final tickets (even one) that they don't need I was going to take my Dad who is from Limerick city to the games to watch Na Piarsaigh, please message me if you want to pass the ticket/s on.Thanks a mil

spurscormac

Attendance updated from McHale Park.
Was a little concerned as I arrived early for the hurling, and was hand scanned as the ST stiles weren't open at that stage.
No issue though, recorded correctly and updated.

Also got a lovely halfway line seat - just a pity about the results of both games.

yop

Mine is still wrong for the Dublin game, I emailed them there about it.

yop

Wont update it. Has to be within 10 days.
