    Maybe the question is can you get Club+ in a different county from your intercounty.

    And the answer is no unfortunately.

    When is the renewal deadline?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,836 ✭✭✭windy shepard henderson


    i heard january but it probably depends on which county you are from , if its like cork hurling or dublin football id might not be as long



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,201 ✭✭✭HBC08


    11pm on 3rd November for counties that are renewal only.

    As far as I know that's Mayo and Dublin in football and Limerick in hurling.

    They were full last year, so only non-renewals will be available, and that won't be until early November.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,279 ✭✭✭Charles Babbage


    Surely renewals are now closed and this is public sale.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,067 ✭✭✭slegs


    Renewals have until Nov 3rd to pay…after that the ticket is released for purchase by new signups. I dont know if this is a waitlist scenario or how it works.

    Cork season ticket sold out as well.

    Did it only sell out this year?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 21,904 ✭✭✭✭Bass Reeves

    Wonder when league fixtures will be leaked ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,201 ✭✭✭HBC08


    This post reminded me to renew.

    We live in hope!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,195 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    You would think they would get the fixtures out before demanding the renewal of season tickets.

    Cork Hurling

    Limerick Hurling

    Armagh Football

    Mayo football

    These 4 are sold out , Dublin football ( first time in a long time ) and Clare hurling have a small amount of season tickets available which will probably be gone in coming days - all others no problem buying . Each county has 3,500 season tickets available.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,128 ✭✭✭harryharry25


    Armagh are due to play Antrim away in the first round Champ

    If Antrim play it at home the capacity will be less than Armaghs season tickets. What happens then? That game just not counted towards the All Ireland Final ticket requirement?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,279 ✭✭✭Charles Babbage


    No, Antrim will not be allowed play at home and it will be played elsewhere, possibly Newry.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,128 ✭✭✭harryharry25


    I've seen Antrims chairman and manager in the newspapers saying they will be playing that game at home as they have home advantage

    They were drawn as the home team.

    Not letting them play at home would be a disgrace by Ulster GAA and I can't see it being played anywhere but in Belfast



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,279 ✭✭✭Charles Babbage


    Armagh won their All Ireland in 2002 without having home games, Louth played in Inniskeen last year. The Antrim venue would not even hold all the Antrim people who might go and the GAA should not prevent people wishing to attend their games.

    If they want a home game then let them build a proper ground before then.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,128 ✭✭✭harryharry25


    Louth played in Inneskeen last year as every ground in Louth has 1 small stand and grass banks all around the other 3 sides. They can only have max attendance of just 2k for their league games (only for Armagh went up this year in league, Louth would have been playing them in Ardee in the league with 2k capacity)

    Inneskeen only holds 5k, if Louth were in group with Armagh next year and got home game Armagh wouldn't be entitled to 3,500 tickets by the way

    Antrim have every right to demand they play their game at home as that's the luck of the draw. Remember Newbridge or nowhere, plenty mayo fans missed out on that game but that's the way the cookie crumbles



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,279 ✭✭✭Charles Babbage


    Newbridge even then held a lot more than Corrigan Park.

    The GAA cannot sell tickets and then arrange games at locations where people cannot go. How would you decide who got to go and who did not?

    I was at Newbridge or Nowhere.

    There was a big furore beforehand as capacity was capped at 8k and between the different schemes Mayo had about 5k ,some say 6k season ticket holders.So still room for everyone but not ideal for kildare.

    As it happened plenty of season ticket holders decided not to go and as a result the crowd was split nearly 50/50 on the day.

    In my own case I had my season tickets but bought 10 extra tickets with me to help any Mayo friends stuck.I ended up selling 2 of those tickets,giving away 6 (to kildare fans) and coming home with 2 in my pocket that I literally couldn't give away!

    Last year or the year before a rule was brought in where county grounds would have to have a minimum capacity. I'm not sure if this also extents to league but it's deffo for championship.

    Under this that game cant be held in Corrigan Park.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,279 ✭✭✭Charles Babbage


    Being able to go to games is one of the things the GAA has to offer, it should not lose that advantage lightly.

    Armagh will play in front of the 10,000+ throughout the league, those people should be welcomed in the championship also.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,752 ✭✭✭Quitelife


    The removal of a free ticket for first championship game has made the season ticket far less attractive- it was two free games in hurling where counties have 4 round robin games .
    You would want to be going to most if not all league games to get value these days .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 21,904 ✭✭✭✭Bass Reeves


    The only advantage now is you get decent tickets in CP for matches and you are guaranteed a ticket for the final if your county gets in. Nobody goes to all the league matches.

    ITs been chipped away at for years to the point now it's more expensive to even a dedicated fan who goes to say 80% of games like me.

    When you consider this plus the extra games plus the way hotels have gone plus the others expenses like fuel and food it's now a serious financial commitment.

    Myself and the wife used to go to all home and away league games.Great way to see the country and places you'd never visit or have a reason to visit.

    We'd make a weekend or night away out of it.Cant justify the costs now so might do one night away and maybe 1 drivable away game.It simply doesn't make sense for us.

    However,it's the hope that kills ya and the all ireland ticket that means I just had to renew

    The other issue is that the ancillary expenses of food and fuel used to be spread out over nine months, now you have a five-month season bringing pressures on the wallet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,912 ✭✭✭kala85




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,279 ✭✭✭Charles Babbage


    Hotels are a major issue. In the past an hotel in February wasn't hard to get nor especially expensive, now it is. Even if you are not stuck financially it still seems a lot to pay €150+ for a room. In the past, I thought that perhaps there was scope for hotel and restaurants to provide offers for season ticket holders, but now the hotels do not need to bother as they are full anyway even in February. Some counties are better placed than others, a Kerry fan will have a long journey to any away game, a Tyrone fan can travel to Armagh or Ballybofey without excessive expense, some Tyrone people live nearer these places than Omagh.
