2015 Season Ticket

NabyLadistheman · 31-08-2015 6:08pm

So the 'bring a friend' is OK for every other match but because a load of sunshine supporters want tickets their should be 'no chance' of it. Ridiculous argument. The real issue here is with the GAA selling a vast majority of the tickets online to tout's who could purchase in bulk and not with the 'bring a friend' option.

you could easily also call the "friend" a sunshine supporter cause if they were die hards they would already have season tickets - no?

Both sides are valid arguments, but both have serious flaws.

VONSHIRACH · 31-08-2015 6:54pm

The BaF suits the GAA when there is plenty of spare capacity and that seems reasonable to me. I have never used it myself as I don't want crap seats..

There are some people who won't have a ticket for the replay or final which is a pity but at the end of the day a lot of these people didn't attend in Feb/March etc during brass monkey weather or travel to Killarney/Cork/Castlebar etc. Club members have a better chance but not every club member attends league games either. For an attendance of 82.5k, I don't have a problem with whatever few thousand go on general sale. When I sat in the packed stand Sunday, half of the blue jerseys weren't at the league.

The Dublin season ticket hasn't been on general sale for the last two/three years, it's been renewals only.

The Parnell Pass is significantly more expensive.

Tickets went on general sale for the replay last year on tickets.ie, have an email about it. Can't see anything about the drawn match though.

They went on sale to all season ticket holders for the draw and the replay (I still have the emails). It's possible that they only went on general sale for the replay.

Those season tickets are seriously good value given that Mayo are assured of AI semi finals for the next five years I'd say and a couple of AI finals. Probably could say the same about Kerry and Dublin.

Anytime I hear them kind of quotes it comes before a fall. See Dublin's 5 in a row talk last year for example. This Mayo team still have a reasonable age profile but have a lot of football played. Looking at Mayo's underage teams the last few years I'd say thats a very brave prediction.

I am aware of both issues - PP gets you the hurling too.

Do you know how many season tickets there are for Dublin and Mayo? I was looking for a figure earlier on but couldn't find anything.

1600 in Mayo from what I understand. I'd say 2k Dublin, but there is also the Parnell ticket?

glack · 31-08-2015 9:31pm

Has anyones attendance been updated yet? Its generally updated straight away after a match in Croke but our two tickets were not and we entered through different turnstiles.

that low only 2k? i thought it was a lot higher.
Parnell Pass is different, and has different rules and i think is twice as much, but its a DCB thing as oppose to a GAA thing

Overall your point is probably valid, especially given struggles at U-21 level, but don't let this years minor let down cloud your memory; they won an All Ireland in 2013 and were relatively strong for a couple of years before that too if I recall correctly.

Not being smart, but if your a die hard supporter would you not have your own season ticket/Parnell Pass?

What happens on All Ireland Final Day, do Baf tickets exist?

I don't believe there any bring a friend option for the All Ireland.

Is this all a surprise as to how ticketing works?

I can never quite grasp why there is this constant feeling that its some sort of conspiracy.

Ours arrived this morning - wasn't expecting them until tomorrow (Kilkenny season ticket)

mayo.mick · 01-09-2015 11:37am

Incredibly, at the same time, those who queued to buy tickets from an official GAA outlet in Dublin city were allowed to buy as many as they liked.
Some lucky fans left the outlet on Dorset Street clutching up to a dozen tickets each.
The GAA admitted last night they were surprised by the demand - even though Sunday's drawn game had already been an 82,000 sell-out.
To make matters worse for angry fans, tickets are now being offered for sale for several times their face value on sites such as donedeal.ie.

Kingp35 · 01-09-2015 11:47am

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but I am a Hill 16 season ticket holder and I didn't get a bring a friend option so I'm assuming that terrace season ticket holders don't get this option.

Tbh I don't think anyone should get a bring a friend option when the game will obviously be a sell out.

Cosmo Kramer · 01-09-2015 11:58am

Good to see the GAA held back a few for the BaF option, it would have been shocking if they had sold them in 10s and 20s on the street and not held any back at all. None the less their ticketing system needs an overhaul. Tickets for potentially sold out games should never be allowed to be sold in blocks of more than five or six. I'll be heading for 703 also, decent seats as well actually.

What on earth were they expecting to happen allowing people to purchase unlimited tickets? Scalpers will be making away like bandits. It's as if they've never organised a major sporting event before, rather than being an organisation that runs gigantic events multiple times every single year. Mind boggling incompetence.

We've gotten section 309 for the All Ireland Final apparently.

Mine arrived today too - Kilkenny Season ticket also. Got section 305.
Same section as last year for the first match, but got shafted for the replay off to the corner.

What's the chances of a 4th replay in a row???

306 for us, some more are in 302/303.

blockfighter · 02-09-2015 12:47pm

Just got mine, section 306 about twenty rows from the pitch. Good tickets by all accounts. Better than the seat I had for the drawn game.

km79 · 02-09-2015 1:37pm

303 row v

Row AA, can't understand why some folks get 305 and 306 and others don't. There isn't that many season thickets holders I'd say. Could we not be put in the same couple of sections.

I didn't avail of the bring a friend scheme so that I might get a better seat which is annoying

There are nearly 10,000 if not more season ticket holders between Mayo and Dublin. granted some ot the Dublin ticket holders will be in the upper Cusack.

yop · 02-09-2015 2:16pm

Is there 10,000 tickets! I thought Mayo had 2500?

We got split up. 4 in 306, 5 rows from front. Then 2 more are dropped down from 406 last week to 302.

Between Cairde and Croke Park there are about 4,800. Dublin have a lot more, between Croke Park, Hill 16 and Parnell Pass. so it would be roughly 10,000 between the 2 (give or take a few opt outs

)
