Replying To Scenicparish:  "Season tickets holders get 304 to 307 in middle of Cusack Stand. Players families and County Board officials get the middle of the Hogan. Otherwise tickets are sold on first come basis."
Unfortunately that is not how the Algorithm works. When the tickets went on sale they were for the corners i.e lower Cusack 310, 311 and 301 and 302. Today better seats have come on sale in full blocks in 304 and 308 etc.

My thinking is that the people who will definitely go buy first so release the worse off seats then and then people who are only thinking of going buy tickets later. IF they are offered tickets in the corner then they wont go but if they can get tickets nearer the middle or 45 then that might sway them to buy. Of course this only works on a game that wont sell out.

No, season tickets have always been lower Cusack, since 2013 anyways.

You must'n be talking about Season Ticket holders? For Season Ticket holders 305 & 306 were the options first and when they were sold out 304 & 307 were the options.

The season ticket deadline was at 10am today. I'd imagine the new tickets showing in the more central Cusack blocks were the tickets not taken up by season ticket holders.

Season Ticket holder since 2013. Lower Cusack 303, down the very front. Following on from Terrace tickets for Down and Cork games. You'd swear they were trying to get rid of you.

Ticketmassacre strikes again.
