I see Galway and Clare supporters are livid that tickets for the replay are only being sold online and in Supervalu/Centra. I really don't see what the issue is and in fact, I believe this access to tickets should be the way it is for every game. The county boards always hand select who in the club/county get the good seats. The county board should get a small allocation for players etc. and the remainder should go on general sale online and in the stores.

No - agree fully that club members who work all year with their clubs should be looked after.

I'd be the same livid pay 200 Euro a year half of which goes to county gaa draw and other half goes to club draw. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 30/07/2018 19:41:13 2127634 Link 0 |

Club members should be looked after. Anyway besides the real die hards in both the Clare and Galway will have season tickets. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11227 - 30/07/2018 20:05:37 2127639 Link 1 |
Fair enough. So why, for example, does a county like Kilkenny get an allocation of 9k tickets for an AI Final? In a ground that holds 82k

Not for this match. There was over 54k at last Saturdays match...if it had been held on the Sunday there would have been another 10k at it. Thurles capacity is something like 47k. Selling the tickets online means that the ticket touts will snap up a lot of them and they'll seek to make a killing next Sunday.

for the all ireland finals, a certain (as small as possible) amount of the media and gaa repersentatives should get tickets and players and staff should be allocated a few each. after that it should just be through clubs in the counties involved. no clubs from around the rest of the country should get tickets, thats just nonsense. as much of the stadium as possible should be filled with fans.

there is absolutely no way any club who does not promote hurling deserves a ticket for any hurling match.vice versa for football. perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 30/07/2018 21:39:39 2127665 Link 1 |
The GAA PR department must be running out of bullets to shoot ourselves in the foot 890202 (Wexford) - Posts: 1278 - 30/07/2018 22:45:32 2127690 Link 0 |
2 tickets for a club in any county that promotes gaa all year round is little to ask for. It is a very small percentage of overall tickets available for an all ireland. The should cut down the number of tickets given to certain celebrities and people in the know. Just because your own county is competiting shouldn't mean you have an automatic right to a ticket. If the all ireland final is your first or second game of the year you should have no ticket right.

What I don't understand with the GAA this summer is the communications. bigfrankt (Monaghan) - Posts: 123 - 31/07/2018 08:51:09 2127739 Link 0 |
