Really is a joke. The season tickets should be for sections 05, 06 and 07.

The funny thing is that it is for all but the final. Given the nature of the season ticket, I'd imagine most season ticket holders would be at quarter and semi finals too, so the only justification for this is that seats from the season ticket sections are being given out elsewhere too at the expense of season ticket holders.

I got lucky this year (305) but was shunted down to the corner last year

blockfighter · 09-09-2016 11:07am

Just got my ticket this morning. 100% attendance for all mayo matches this year (including London although that isn't counted on the card). Got section 301 for the final. It certainly seems to be pot luck what seats you get.
Still, at least I don't have to worry about hunting for a ticket. The one major plus of the season ticket

They do say it's 100% random, no preference based on how long you have had the season ticket.

The only people posting about being placed in 301 or 311 so far are mayo supporters ..........

I'd wait and see next Sunday before starting the conspiracy theories.

Your working off a poll of about 7 or 8 people.

I'd be fairly sure there will be plenty of Dubs in 301 and 311 too.
Same as plenty of Mayo fans in 304/305/306

We'll see. I have yet to see one Dublin supporter either on this forum or any other say they've been allocated seats in 301 or 311. Plenty of Mayo supporters shunted down to the ends though. It seems from looking across here, mayogaablog, reservoir dubs, twitter etc. that Mayo have been allocated 301, 302 and 311. Dublin are in 303 and 304 with a mix in the central areas.

BonnieSituation · 09-09-2016 12:29pm

Mine landed this morning.

Are the lads in 301 and 311 in seating groups though?

That could account for it. mayo.mick is in a group I think.

Groups should be shunted in reality but I'm still at a loss at the variance in seating arrangements for the lot of us.

Some groups are being moved some aren't
Do you think those groups should have shunted off to the side for the quarters and semis too . There was plenty of seats available to the groups then . What has changed ?
All the dubs must have single tickets . No groups ........

Again we can't be certain but given that Mayo and Dublin are the only oversubscribed STs it's perhaps not surprising that this is happening. Similarly the seats I had for the SF (I and II) last year were **** (305A and 306C) and I would say it was on account of the game being v Mayo.

I'll wait for some Dub heads to get in on it and see how their groups fare.

As an FYI I have 2*305G (me and a juvenile)

Menoetius · 09-09-2016 12:54pm

305 N in a group of 2. Well maybe not so much a group as they are both on the same account.

Was down in 309 last year despite being in 306 & 305 all year up till then.

Every final I've been to so far this decade has had a nice even mix throughout.
Can't see anything but that happening next week.

Trent Houseboat · 09-09-2016 1:58pm

706 O. Happy with that.

UnitedIrishman · 09-09-2016 2:26pm

Spoke to my Dad and his friend, both Mayo season ticket holders, and they're both in 310 aswell.

Ya I'm in a seating group of 8 people. I figured that might have a negative affect on what seats I got. Been getting good seats for all previous matches in croker (305, 306 etc.) Until now.

Heard a few other people in seating groups got bumped to the side too.

Yeah. There's no real way you can be accommodated in a decent block in fairness.

Tbh if I were ye I'd split those.groups into 2 x 5 (assuming that works for ye) next year. Max I'd do a group is three and even then I'd be hard pushed too. A twosie gets you those deadly seat pairs up the sides of the Cusack tunnels.

Group of 4

Same seating group as every year for every match
Worst seats ever

We are always in either 305/306/307/308,, until now. Cant see how a seating group of 4 is any different to 10

Same groups always around us, they are in 311 and 309 and 301. In fairness there's nearly 11,000 season ticket holders to look after!

yop · 09-09-2016 9:23pm

Group of 4. Each block is around 28 seats wide and there would be around 50 rows per section. So thats around 1400 seats per block. So you'd need 8 blocks to fit the 11k season ticket holders.
So in their defence thats a big ask. Unless they swap them to the Hogan Stand and/or upper Cusack.

11k? Really? Wow.

In fairness some Dubs are lobbed up to the 700s.

Of course, hill 16 season tickets wouldn't be in cusack, later dublin season tickets are in upper cusack. Where do the parnell pass holders be? I'd estimate about 6,000 season tickets to be catered for in the cusack. There would be some not qualifying for final tickets too. About 3,700 out of over 4,000 mayo qualified.

C.O.Y.B.I.B · 10-09-2016 5:49am

Group of 4 Dub tickets since the start . 305 Y for Semi and 303 for final.

eastmayo · 10-09-2016 7:54am

Ticket landed yesterday section 305......delighted.

Thibus · 10-09-2016 8:00am

Group of 5 here. 100% attendance, always seated in 305 or 306. Moved to 303 for the final. Was 306 for last year's too

BonnieSituation · 10-09-2016 9:11am

Loads getting caught up o the section they're in. The Row is wat more important imho.

I disagree unless its way back in the 400's.

I like the view from row Z or the double numbers back to row HH.

But being down in rows A-D you are right in the action. It reminds me of my footballing heyday... It's exactly like the view from the bench.

Can't agree. You can't see anything of the flow of the game that low down or player positions. Do not like.

T back is where I like on the lower tiers.

To be honest to see the flow of the game tactically Row A in the Premium, Coperate or Upper Tiers can't be beaten.

I love it.

You get a different feel for the game down at the front in the Lower Tiers as long as its central. Forget avout the Lower Davin or the Hill if tou actually want to watch the game.

I don't understand how the Hill is so popular, when half the time is spent looking at the hands of the guy in front of you chanting.

It does explain some of the more warped perspectives on the game we get here though.

It's been a long long time since I graced the Hill or Nally. I think the last time I was in the Nally was for Ireland v France in 2009. Before that possibly 2007.

Yeah, front of the upper tiers (and the premium) is a great spot for an overview of the match.

Once your seat is somewhat elevated then the section doesn't really matter at all! Only exception to this is the Hill and Davin Stand where the view is only good when the ball is at that end of the field,. Have t say I've never had a bad seat in Croke Park!

I really don't get the apparent lack of love for the lower rows,I'd echo your reasoning.For the 2013 we'd seats I believe in row D section 309 on the 21 yard line Davin Stand end.Perfect.

My mate hates it,prefers the more panoramic view from rows further back to earlier double letters...LL...

I hope I get luckier in the "draw" for sections for the replay
311 today and they were very poor
And as an aside its was almost entirely mayo .

BonnieSituation · 19-09-2016 11:49am

Great news, I hope the U16 prices apply to our juvenile STs.

Tickets for the stands will be available for €60, while admission to the Dineen/Hill16 terraces will cost €30.

There will also be a limited number of €10 tickets available for under 16s, and none on general sale.

Two years ago ticket prices for Kilkenny and Tipperary's hurling final replay were cut from €80 to €50 for the stands and €25 from €40 for the terrace.

A friend of mine got a ticket for the game at the weekend in section 306 and didn't have ST on it. Had the person name on it but didn't have any reference to season ticket unlike mine. We were 303.

Make what you want from that

BonnieSituation · 20-09-2016 9:12am

Maybe they're truly random.

I just find it absolutely bizarre that no matter where I sit the same people are always around me.

Even in Nowlan Park!

DDC1990 · 20-09-2016 9:39am

Emailed the Season Ticket office and another draw will take place for people with 100% attendance. No luck the last time but fingers crossed.
