Croke Park Seating Arrangements

Seat 1 is in the middle.

Seat 14 or 15 is the aisle and it's 16 or so is the other side of the aisle.

They do this so that when you come out of the steps your section is both to your left and right.

Oh ok. So is seat 1 closer to Hill 16 is e.g. section 304 or seat seat 16

When you come out of the tunnel from the concourse to the seating area and go to your row, seat 1 is in the middle of the section to your right (if you are facing the pitch)

Seat 15 (or 14 I'm not sure) is right beside you at the aisle.

To set to seat 1 you will pass every seat from 15 (or 14) down to 2.

So seat 1 in 304 is closer to the Hill than seat 15 is.

Cusack stand seating is 1-14 on one side of steps closest to hill 16, 15 and higher opposite side

Is it the same for the Davin and the Hogan, seats 1 - 14 to your right and seats 15-28 to the left of the aisle?

Same with the davin stand but I think in hogan stand seats 1-14 are on your left (closest to hill 16) and 15 and higher on your right

does anyone know is upper cusack, row w, in around 704-705 any good??

W,x,y,z four rows away from the roof
Bring your binoculars especially if it's hurling and a very warm jacket.

Upper Cusack, Hogan and Davin goes from row a to z so y would be second last row

Lower hogan, Cusack and Davin goes row a to z then row aa to ww

What rows are under cover in croke Park

Is there not an interactive seating plan on the Ticket Bastard website?

I think you can look up the seating plan there, even if you are not buying a ticket.

As you walk down the steps coming from the tunnel of 333, seat 5 will be on your left, closer to the Hill. You will still be in section 333. The tunnel just divides the section in half. Seats 1-15 will be on the left of the steps and seats 15-30 approx (depending on how many seats are in the row) will be to the right of the steps. You will not be leaving section 333, just by turning left or right to get to your seat.

Technically around Row T. But realistically you'd be talking the Double letters ie. AA-BB-CC etc.

Listened to the JMac podcast to see what was to be said. By god, I shouldn’t have bothered. It begins with Mattie Forde saying there are two big games this weekend - McMahon has to correct him and say there are 3. That’s the same Mattie Forde who said in an earlier podcast Wexford should have beaten Cavan in the League - that analysis had amazed me back then.

Then the same Kevin McGourty, who heavily tipped Antrim to beat Cavan, stating Cavan were in disarray after the League final and that Graham didn’t know what he was doing, reckons Gearoid McKiernan has carried a lacklustre Cavan team to this final on his back. He references big performances from Martin Reilly - has he even started a Tailteann Cup game other than the semi final where he went off injured? He also mentions that Paddy Lynch has allegedly disappeared into a hole in this competition. I thought his analysis couldn’t get much worse than a few months back when he clearly didn’t realise Conor & Cian Madden are different players. He kept saying Westmeath are favourites yet Finian Hanley eventually pointed out to him that if he bothered to check the odds, Cavan are.

McMahon then asks Aaron Prendergast about match ups in the game and his reply is he wouldn’t know and to ask someone else - as I expected, he doesn’t seem to have much of a notion outside of Dublin & Kerry.

Car crash from start to finish. All of the panel tipped Westmeath bar Prendergast whose main reason was that he better tip Cavan because nobody else had!

Mickey Graham should play the podcast on the team bus. If it didn’t motivate Cavan, nothing would.

When you click on your seat to buy the ticket on ticketmaster it is not the actually seat you get. At the weekend i had seat 1 + 2 and they were showing at the start of the row but in the stadium 1 + 2 were in the middle of the row.

X isn't under cover. Probably need to be around AA or higher to avoid any rain. Depends too on where exactly in the Cusack. We were at the hill end (302) so less shelter there.

Neither would be top of the list, but for All-Ireland, cannot be fussy.

I presume you know at this stage that the Nally is standing and the Davin upper is seating.

If you get in early enough to the Nally and get a decent standing position i.e. beside the Hill and back fairly far, it's grand. Beats the upper decks for me anyway for the atmosphere. Couple of years ago I had a Nally ticket for the all-Ireland. I made the mistake of going for pints before the match and went in 15 mins before match started. It was packed and I was stuck at the front. Could hardly see a thing. Lesson learned for me anyway.

I think back row would be ZZ (double Z). Row Z would be about half way back. I could be wrong. Was years ago since I was upper deck.

Ya, 45 mins should be ok. Many people will be socialising beforehand, but most will have the same aim as yourself i.e. be there 10 mins before the teams come out - so would want to be there at 2.45 or beforehand.

Lowers go from A-Z & AA-WW, premiums A-K and uppers A-Z.
