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. dats_rite (Australia) - Posts: 24 - 18/06/2026 11:03:11 2680408 Link 0 |

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. SouthOfTheGap (Donegal) - Posts: 936 - 18/06/2026 15:45:30 2680470 Link 0 |

I was straight in when the window opened at 10am on tuesday and the tickets i was allocated was not too bad but not covered if wet.I was wondering does it make any difference when Season holders buy their tickets i.e. if you waited until Thursday would you get the same tickets.Are they allocated pre sale.

They may block out a few more tickets for season ticket holders than they actually need, and with this match not expected to be a huge attendance, it's probably worth waiting. Between the rally this weekend, the distance to Dublin, and the fact there wasn't much for Donegal supporters to cheer about last week, I'd imagine a good number of Donegal season ticket holders simply didn't purchase tickets in the usual numbers. That's likely another reason why tickets have reappeared. That said, for certain matches you're better off buying early. Take last year's semi-final for example - it sold out and became a real scramble. People going through clubs trying to source tickets, often ending up with poor seats, and nothing additional appeared on Ticketmaster.

Great news that Ciaran Thompson is back in the match day panel. Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1948 - 19/06/2026 11:42:36 2680575 Link 0 |

I expect there will be changes come 1:15 on Sunday. But very surprised to see Ciaran Thompson in the 26. He wasn't operated on till September, so thats only 9 months, so that is an amazing return. Its going to be a big ask, but hopefully it goes well for him. SouthOfTheGap (Donegal) - Posts: 936 - 19/06/2026 12:06:24 2680579 Link 0 |

I don't think it matters if you are first in, or last, its seems that they have them already allocated. I'm usually right on it when they are released, but getting a very raw deal.

I tried to buy mine when out and about but couldn't process due to poor internet. Tried again an hour later and was offered better seats. You don't have to buy what's given to you first

I am also a season ticket holder since they came out first and i think that may be a disadvantage.There have been games where I have had terrible seats and newcomers to the season tickets had great seats.For the All Ireland Final I was in the first couple of rows with a very poor view and similarly for the Tyrone game in Ballybofey last year getting absolutely drenched.

Mulreany was wearing number 1 last week as well and didn't start. He did a full warmup at half time last weekend, looked like he was coming on, so there might still be concerns about Patton's fitness.
