    Well that was nerveracking. Guess the tension will only mount later on in the season with this kind of delay and the "no appeal whatsoever" rule.

    Maby if I video the gate keeper and get them to state the time and date and place and then my ticket being scanned and walking through gate, then I'd have an appeal case. Would have to do that 3 times for each match in mchale and if everybody felt they had to do it it would really slow things down at the gate. But what am I to do? I know I can't trust the scanners in mchale from experience and I know I'm not alone going by posts on here.

    Date and time is on the scanner on the gate that you enter. Would be some fun if every season ticket holder videoed each ticket going through the stile. About a minute per ticket x 3,000 odd season tickets.... :eek:

    I'll just have to start going earlier so ;-)

    Have to wonder how they can cock up a simple bar code scan in this day and age. The tills in tescos get it right every time.

    Why would you have to do it three times?

    Would it affect us though with both games being on at the same time? I got them a good few times before, but the Dublin match was on at a different time to our own.

    In my experience, they have no issue with you giving a family member your card. It's giving it to random strangers just to get it scanned that they don't like. My dad is unwell at the moment and can't go, but my sister is using his card as she'd be heading to the games anyway.

    No problem with someone else using your season ticket. If however, you were standing at the turnstile with 20 tickets looking for people to scan them for you (yes, I have seen this happen!), there could be bother!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,221 ✭✭✭diceyreilly


    Any football or hurling season ticket holders ( any county ) fancy getting a ticket for Croke Park tomorrow and emailing it for me

    Few more on Twitter saying they weren't either. Hopefully all will be sorted. I enjoyed the weekend so not being updated would sour it.

    At the Fermanagh - Galway match today, there was a big queue for the season ticket turnstile. There wasn't any queue at the other turnstiles. To combat this growing queue, one of the 'organisers' called over a girl who was selling programmes. To speed things up, she was saying to the girl to write down the details of the card instead of scanning it. They had only 1 scanner. They were trying to set up this system as I came to the head of the queue. The guy with the scanner scanner my ticket. I am not sure he scanned it correctly as it didn't make a sound but he told me to go ahead (they seemed to be panicking somewhat about the ever growing queue). My attendance has not been updated yet. If it doesn't get updated, is it possible for me to get it updated?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,384 ✭✭✭✭BPKS


    I checked my attendance on Friday and it had last nights game down as 'NOT ATTENDED' already. It still says the same even though we all went. How long does it usually take to update, first year getting the season ticket and I didnt travel to Donegal last week.

    Took a few days for my Galway ticket to update last week.

    It's a pain in the ass if it's not updated
    Mine was updated for mayo cork IN CORK last year and they refused to update it
    If have been raging if it meant I didn't have the required attendance for AI ticket but I knew I'd be grand


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,516 ✭✭✭mayo.mick


    My nephews was updated earlier, mine still hasn't been. Went in different stile to my nephew, my mate was in front of me and his hasn't been updated either. Lot of Kerry fans were giving out fook that their cards wouldn't scan or it was saying already scanned.

    Yeah I'll be furious if this isn't updated. As a Galway fan, I don't think AI tickets will be an issue for me later in the year (and I'm still going to make 60% of matches anyway), but I'd still like to know this is done properly. If it's not done properly, it would put me off buying again.

    Yes.Just bring your season ticket to the Hogan Stand stiles and you can get in free.
    It's unreserved seating as well.

    I got v 310. Practically at the goal line, worst seats I ever got as a season ticket holder for years .

    There was absolutely no need for it either stuck out in the rain when there were plenty of covered seats, i was lucky I had a plan B

    How on earth can they plan it so badly when there's only 30 odd thousand in the stadium,a portion of which are Hill 16 regulars?Surely all the season ticket holders can be seated centrally and under some measure of cover.
