Back in 2006 me and my dad went to all the matches but ended up with no tickets for the final so i ended up walkin around dublin 3 hours before the game with a sign. about less than an hour before the game a kerry man(and i was from mayo) came over and gave us two tickets at face value for the hogan stand. Will never forget that, fair play to him. It is easy to see how you'd be left without tickets for the final though as both times i was at one it was unbelievably hard to get, same for the famous match against the dubs :P

They would easily make €6 million and to add to that programmes, food/drink and booze, they make a fecking fortune on All Ireland day. BTW, still looking for a straight swap for Hogan Stand (lower) ticket for Hill 16 ticket. Long shot and all but don't care about extra €40 it cost me, really wanna be on the Hill.
