That's a ridiculous price. 15 euro is enough for this game.

The word " NO" needs to be introduced to the children's vocabulary. ))

Replying To eoinog:  "Every year this rubbish starts about the price of tickets for Gaa games. Look at the price of admission to all other sports . If you are going to a Sligo v Leitrim game you are not traveling too far so don't talk about food etc. Eat a good hearty breakfast before you go and you will be sound. Don't buy a programme because they are a real rip off ."
Can you give a run down on the price of other amateur sports to attend? Unless you have a buffet breakfast you are sure to be hungry for more food come the afternoon.

I never mentioned amateur sports, although the GAA is well ahead of some professional sports in this country. Leitim won't have many days out in the championship so they should cherish them. Maybe they could have a church gate collection or they might set up a Go fund me Page to help alleviate the cost

So you are unable to answer and thanks but no thanks for that ridiculous reply.

We are the same as Sligo in that regard, we should cherish those days out equally in fairness. Church gate collections are old school, we might try to raffle a car like Sligo did this year

Waterford v Tipp in Munster football championship teams of similar standard to Leitrim and Sligo, general admission 15euro, students 10euro, kids free.
