No no. I expect and am happy season ticket holders get first choice. So let's take Galway v Tipp tickets on sale since Monday afternoon season ticket holders for both counties say 8000 and that's been very generous. There should be plenty of decent tickets left for non season ticket holders but try and all you get is the corner flag or behind the goal. Simply we the GAA fans are been treated as s::::::::

"It shows no loyalty to people as they want you to buy tickets via these outlets all year until they know they don't need them anymore and hand the clubs them instead and come all ireland finals not one ticket is even availble to purchase through them outlets which is a slap in the face." perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 26/07/2017 07:42:52 2023623 Link 0 |
Foolish of me to think that the Dubs couldnt understand my grievance here. AustinGleeson6 (Galway) - Posts: 223 - 26/07/2017 08:54:06 2023640 Link 0 |
You don't have a grievance.

Tickets for the hurling and football semi finals have been on Ticketmaster for weeks, same every year. Why didn't you get your hurling tickets as soon as Galway won Leinster?

Going on tickets.ie the Thursday morning before a game usually works for me. Seems at that stage they put returns from clubs online. Good seats on offer too. benjyyy (Donegal) - Posts: 1422 - 26/07/2017 10:54:19 2023724 Link 0 |
I know, you should have been able to log on to the GAA website and choose exactly which seats you wanted I went to U2 last week and I didn't get front row tickets when I tried to get them......disgraceful keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 26/07/2017 10:58:03 2023729 Link 0 |
The clubs and season ticket holders get the option of better ones. Go to your local club or wait til next week until more become available and come back from the clubs. I assume you'll have the option of the upper tier tickets next week also. There was tickets behind the goal in the Davin on sale yesterday. Excellent view from there. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 26/07/2017 11:04:19 2023730 Link 0 |

I don't buy this argument of genuine hard core supporters missing out on tickets as a result of tickets being distributed to clubs - the reason they miss out is supporters crawling out of the woodwork at semi final/final stage who haven't attended games all year. There are only about 3000 clubs in the country and at 2 tickets each I reckon that makes c.6000 less tickets for an All Ireland. The Dubs are the biggest supporters in the country and only managed 66k at a Leinster final between themselves and Kildare (who themselves are big supporters). That has been the largest attendance at a Leinster final in years and even if 6k tickets were handed out to every club in the country any supporter that wanted to go would have comfortably got a ticket. However come the final should Dublin be there, the Dubs support could have increased to 60k by themselves - where have these people been all year??? Sorry I don't mean to sound like I'm having a go at the Dubs here but they are the best example as they have the biggest support in the country - this happens in all counties (my own is no different this week with lads that barely know where Hyde Pk or their local ground is for that matter looking for tickets for Sunday).

Vast majority of people down this way still go to their clubs for tickets. It's very hard to purchase all year from Super Value and then go to your club looking for a ticket. Clubs note who is looking for and going to tickets. I accept that is not the same in Dublin where demand far outweighs demand.

As stated above. A Galway native. I recognise the greatness of Asutin Gleeson. His laissez Faire attitude leading to some of the greatest displays on a hurling field ever. Hence my username. AustinGleeson6 (Galway) - Posts: 223 - 26/07/2017 11:25:18 2023750 Link 1 |
Pop in to your local Centra or Super Valu. My friends always get better tickets with them than online and they can tell you were you'll be located before you buy. GaaGaa78 (UK) - Posts: 285 - 26/07/2017 12:38:37 2023805 Link 0 |

Spoonfed? We pay for our tickets like everyone else. You don't seem to have any issue with people from other counties disagreeing with your post. Take a scroll back through your posts and you'll see many had something to say. Ignore my previous post. I hope you don't get tickets, spend the money on having the chip removed from your shoulder instead.

That's rubbish to suggest you aren't every bit as loyal a supporter because you get tickets in supervalu, why have these outlets available then? You could have someone on a season ticket who only goes to half the games ot someone who gets tickets in supervalu and goes to all games now don't tell me that there not a true supporter.

We average thirty thousand for home league game's, yet at last year's all ireland there was about twenty thousand maximum dublin supporters on either day. You can't ignore facts that something is clearly wrong with the way tickets get distributed, if they can give every club in the country and abroad tickets and politicians you name it then the least they could do is give the outlets supervalu,centra and gaa.ie that has been there main source of ticket revenue all year between 5-10 thousand tickets to sell to supporters that way its first come first serve.

You get no reward in clubs for purchasing tickets all years with them as many is the case come all ireland semi finals and finals over the years these people miss out and Johnny or Mary who drink in the bar or Francis who runs the local butchers all get tickets instead and haven't attended all year.

Ticket distributions for all ireland finals have changed very little since croke park reached its current capacity. The 2 (or 4) counties involved don't get their fair share of tickets - everyone accepts that. But if Dublin had only 20k fans at either game, you need to look a little closer to home. Did Dublin fans make the same effort that fans of other counties have had to make down the years to get their hands on arguably the most sought after tickets on sale in the country each year? cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5016 - 26/07/2017 14:33:29 2023902 Link 0 |
but thats the whole point why not just give the tickets to the participating counties in the first place and have some available on public sale like every other game all year. it would cut out the rubbish scenarios of trying to get clubs you have never been near to send tickets to your club and so on. its a ridiculous system when you could have far more valued season ticket schemes rewarding supporters hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 26/07/2017 15:11:04 2023929 Link 0 |
