Mayo supporters have been told that season tickets won't apply for their Connacht SFC clash with London in Ruislip.
The champions open the defence of their provincial crown against the Exiles in a couple of months and travelling fans will have to pay full price to support their team, even if they hold a season ticket.
According to the Mayo GAA website:
"Croke Park have informed us that for our Connacht championship quarter final game against London in Ruislip on May 29th Cairde Maigheo and Croke Park season tickets are not included as part of the 2016 GAA Season Ticket package and will not count towards attendance percentages.
"If supporters wish to attend the game they will need to purchase a ticket in advance or at the venue on match day. A limited number of tickets are currently on sale from www.tickets.ie
"The reason they have given for this is that London retain the gate receipts for these games as it is their only source of gate income throughout the Championship season and as such these fixtures are treated as separate from the Connacht Championship itself."
