That doesn't mean he was lying ffs

I'm saying he's lying regarding there being no tickets. If someone turned up and could source three tickets he is lying

Ok, you don't know what lying means. I think I'll leave you to it so. Good luck insulting people for no reason.

Good lad.

Well we will leave it till the people I told this morning on this thread come on and confirm 1 got 1 ticket other got 2.

I went out there today spent 3 hours there and asked absolutely everyone including Comittee members who must have all lied to my face.

Anyone out there who missed out shouldn't feel bad you're not the internet messiah for hurling tickets you're letting on.

Yes 2 I know of, apparently everyone else here didn't even though they had panels searching.

I'm in Dublin now tickets are being sold for €130 around Dorset street and down as far as Quinn's. I personally wouldn't pay it if I didn't have a ticket I'd wait till 3.15 and approach one of them they'll sell for cheaper as it's closer throw in and risk not selling them.

Head down to Quinn's there's 2 guys standing at the steps of the deaf club selling I'm standing close to them now. Nobody seems to be taking the tickets at their prices which is good

No idea mate hopefully.

We got two tickets up around croker but both were through talking to people we know who made a call rather than randomly stopping people. Saw very very few tickets being off loaded to people asking.

Just something we saw and a word of warning. While many of the people going around with signs up were genuine there was a few we spotted working with a tout. One was an auld fella with a sign saying "ticket please I won't live another 29 years" bad b*atards.

Anyway, what a day and what a win! Gaillimh Abu!!

Saw him when I got my ticket. The touts were across the road from him, 3 of them and another one further down on the other side. 2 garda were watching them like hawks. Touts were looking for €500 for a Hogan ticket and he told me he bought it for €200.

Never saw the ticket situation as bad before.

There's a question. And not just the on street touts but the internet touts.

Where do they get them from?

What's an internet tout? You can't tout a ticket in the net.

You're obviously not familiar with needaticket.ie then. This guy was charging 3-400euro for a ticket for today's match. He has tickets for every event, how he gets them is anyone's guess.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if there are clubs/people within clubs around the country involved in touting, I really don't understand how else they could get the tickets. Any genuine GAA people would never sell to a tout.

DellyBelly

Unfortunately my mate couldn't get one so I went alone. Enjoyed the match and because I didn't support either side I didn't get to caught up in the atmosphere. Might try and go to the football final.

A ticket for the lower cusack going for 600 euro for mayo v dublin. Disheartening stuff. If it was any other county apart from Dublin or Mayo I would say tough luck get a season ticket but both counties are massively oversubscribed and a long waiting list for season tickets.

I'm sorry I wasn't aware. I sold 3 premium seats on this thread for face value. 140 Each. I sold tickets for today on here at 80 euro each. I wouldn't scalp anyone.

Tickets are allocated on ratio clubs/ county players and then those outside participating counties get a ratio break up for clubs.

County boards get largest allocation, usually between 100-150 depending on sizes then their clubs are issued (Smaller Clubs 10~15 Larger clubs with county reps in around 30~50 depending) which are then raffled off and given to mentors.

Anything that's returned goes to the county board they then either reissue to croker who then give to participating counties or sell on their selves to outsiders.

**Figures on tickets arent accurate just using them to explain the gulf**

Martina1991

Oh I'm aware of all that, it just always bothers me how tickets end up scattered around the country and fall into the hands of people for way more than face value.

I understand some people want to go to the All Ireland finals because its a great sporting occasion, but it kills me to see so many fans (myself included) from the competing counties left empty handed. I think a bigger allocation should be given to the competing counties because there is never enough to go around for club members.

Well I can say this first hand I was in HQ last week when a lot of counties figures were going in and what's issued this week to clubs will shock a lot and leave a lot without. It's a shame I'm an Ulster man so don't have to worry.

franklyon

If anyone here is not from Mayo or Dublin and in a position to get a ticket for the final please pm me. Can offer face value and a bottle of Jameson gold for your trouble. Long shot I know. Can travel anywhere in the country to collect.

Club volunteers from stand the country deserve a chance to be there, I think there's far too many tickets going to the sponsors personally. I know they pay the bills blah blah but they're not doing that out of the goodness of their heart either. Those companies seem to give their tickets out to all and sundry based on friend and family connections to their business, largely to people with only a passing interest in seeing a big event. Almost by definition the clubs are going to be giving their tickets to people who should be entitled to them. That isn't true of Centra or Guinness, and I suspect that's where the touts ate getting them as well. The allocation is gigantic and a lot who get them probably pass them on to touts just to make a few Bob for themselves.

Some of those sections are so vague. What does provinces mean?

3rd level: what colleges? to lecturers or students?

Schools: which schools? Schools from competing counties or into the pockets of teachers and staff.

Provincial councils eg Munster Gaa etc.

3rd level councils.

Second level schools body.

In other words the Gaa committees in these various areas. They're fully entitled to them if you ask me.

Open to correction here but Croke Park used to offer long term tickets in the hogan and cusack stands ever before premium tickets were available. Some of these are still in operation but I think Croke Park are trying to phase them out.

I have 5 tickets sourced in the UK.

I am going to hawk them outside the Gresham from midday on Sunday onwards for well above the face value.....get in.

You're a great lad, well done.

Although if you're there on Sunday you might find that demand for the camogie all irelands isn't as great as the demand that'll be around Sunday week.

It was published a couple of days ago that Mayo are allocated 16,500 tickets. I presume Dublin is the same.

Those tickets include season ticket holders and families I assume.

It seems like a small number to me. There's never enough to go around at club level.
