Final Tickets

Tombo2001

One issue with AI final tickets is that so many only seem to come available the day of the game. seems to be loads of lads with ready access to tickets, they horde them, and then on the morning they are getting rid of them. To be honest its a mystery to me how AI tickets are allocated, there is no visibility with it that I can see.

Anyone know what time they appeared on Ticketmaster for the hurling? Looking back on this thread seems to be Friday morning.

if you're not refreshing ticketmaster at 10:59:08 then good luck to you sir!

I’m trying to nab tickets for my parents in law from Kerry so need ones not in the Gods and ideally in the middle cusack/hogan, I’m guessing it will be gold dust. So if I’ve got no luck on Ticketmaster this week is there any other leads for how to get tickets? We’d be looking for 2 for ourselves too so if I did get theirs I would chance picking up ours last minute if needs be, is there a spot that’s usually good to hover around?

Join the gaa ticket pages on Facebook and keep an eye on them.

Also try the toutless website.

I bought good tickets from those pages for the hurling, center of upper cusack.

Touts objective is to make a decent profit on tickets. Selling them for 20 or 30 euros suggests they are likely fake ones and trying to catch any desperate supporters before throw in.

There's no way I'd buy from a tout, especially now that it's mainly e-tickets. What's to stop them printing 20 of the same ticket and selling them to different people on matchday. Only the first person of those 20 to get to the turnstile will get into the stadium.

Hi Folks. Long shout here I know but a genuine Galway supporter who's been to several games this year. I'm just looking for one ticket for myself if anyone hears anything let me know. Thanks

Not a whiff of any football spare tickets coming up anywhere by the looks of it, or could we see them surface tomorrow ?

Twitter rumours saying the demand in Galway is unreal which is understandable. 5050 whether tickets become available before the weekend I'd say.

Season tickets are handy for "genuine fans who go to several games" 😉

Yeah there's a lot of "genuine fans who've been to every game this year" around now.

Can't see anything coming available on Ticketmaster to be honest. I didn't get any via the club this year after the raffle. Always get a pair of adjacent Hogan stand tickets for the final via a friend that is involved in a Kilkenny club. Was talking to him earlier and all he can get is a single Davin end ticket.

CAMAC

By the looks of it Irish rail tickets are becoming as sought after as the final itself

SqueakyKneecap

Not a hope of ticketmaster general sale. Galway got extra stand tickets sent out today to every club.

There was a blast of tickets to be got before match around drumcondra the last day but we're mostly single tickets and could pick them up for €40-€50 round 3 clock.huge number of limerick fans came up and had odd tickets left and couldn't get rid of them pre match and yours only giving them stupid offers of €20 for them but had to accept it as very few looking to tickets. As said they were single tickets.if you willing sit on your own you will have no issue getting a ticket on the day but will prove more difficult getting a pair together. Know few mates who have davins and an upper Cusack in the nosebleeds but holding onto them and will look to get better ticket and cam offload that one then. Same happens every year.

There’s loads of spare Nally tickets around. Got offered 5 from different people today but already have my tickets. Going by my own club, they sent back Nally tickets this evening to Kerry County board. Would imagine a lot of clubs did likewise. Don’t know how they will be redistributed but strong chance they will be on ticketmaster tomorrow.

crinkley

there has to be a better way of doing this, clubs and season ticket holders should get a pre sale code and the next day let them go on general sale. This messing around not knowing if tickets will be got a couple of days out is a farce

Where did you get offered them?

CAMAC

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119371351#Comment_119371351

Completely agree, rugby do a decent job when they give the supporters club a presale code and then a few days later it goes on general, and they are transparent with when those windows open. It’s all the more needed here where people may have to travel across the country to go to a match

SqueakyKneecap

If you're a diehard fan you'll have a season ticket or get them through club/contacts. I know Dubs and Mayo are the exception to season tickets but a lot of these "genuine fans" looking probably didn't even go to Castlebar, Leitrim match or the Armagh match.

If you exclude the semi finals, I wonder what the population of fans of both teams that has been to 1 game this season (even league) would be, 40k tops?

Anyway, doesn't look like anything is going up on TM.

In response to this I fully accept your point about season tickets. However one needs to remember that a lot of north Galway people including myself refuse to go to Pearse Stadium on principle thus its hard to justify getting a season ticket. I'll be the first to admit I'd have laughed at you if you told me that Galway would be in the All-Ireland Final this year.

In fairness that's a ridiculous attitude towards attending games in Pearse stadium.

If every supporter in the country took that attitude then the only people attending games would be the ones close to the county ground.

I appreciate that Pearse stadium isn't ideally located but too many Galway supporters use that excuse as a cop out.

I wouldn't have believed we'd get to a Final under Joyce myself in fairness and I don't have a season ticket myself btw. But at the end of the day just because you won't travel to Salthill on principle doesn't mean you can't be a club member (playing or non-playing). Tickets took a long time to free up but any member of a club I know seems to be getting sorted as of this morning.

For the vast majority of north Galway people it hasn't really got anything to with the journey itself. Many of them feel the matches have been taken away from their spiritual home of Tuam. Some people dislike it and still go to Pearse Stadium which is fine, each to their own. A lot of north Galway people go all over Ireland to Galway matches but won't go to Pearse Stadium.

That's ridiculous. Haven't heard that in any other county.

Won't go to support your county because you think it should be in a different pitch.

What's so spiritual about Tuam. It's not exactly known for being the D4 area of Galway.

I wouldn't deem them deserving of a ticket then tbh. If you're going to avoid nearly every home game I'd have my doubts they go to any match outside of Tuam.
