Replying To MesAmis:  "No. They're only available in Dublin and even at that you have to produce your birth cert with you to prove you were born in Dublin, and eat a bowl of coddle while singing the Auld Triangle."
no need to be a smart arse, it was a serious question but reading posts back i got the answer.

Replying To hill16no1man:  "Don't agree the club's haven't bothered with getting tickets for their members throughout the year they tell members to avail of supervalu or centra and when comes to the bigger games them outlets where people who have followed their team throughout the year are all but closed up it's like they are happy to take there money when clubs aren't interested but when comes to bigger games the club's come looking, plus the tickets are a nightmare to get from clubs it's like your doing a mafia dealing in some clubs to get your hands on one. The more public tickets the fairer for everyone who wants one, or increase the amount of season tickets allowed per county as Dublin hasn't had any new members allowed on that scheme for the last few years it's just been renewals each year and no new season tickets beeing able to be purchased."
Totally agree with the season ticket bit,
as i understand it, it's capped at 4,000 tickets per county, why not have that at 6,000 or 8,000.
Should help boost attendance during league and doesn't take up that many overall from Croke park

Apologies. It was a joke.

In my defence I didn't think your question was a serious one.

To be fair, it was a good joke, i particularly liked the bit about the auld triangle!

Waiting on the 13:10 from Maynooth. Have 3 Upper Hogan tickets for €30 each. Touts or wannabe touts needn't bother. I'll be in the shopeen at Drumcondra station ready to head into Junior match.

Seems that Kerry were able to avail of tickets for the semi before the Qfs were even played.More favouritism.

Anyone in Ireland could have bought those tickets days before the Quarter Finals began last Sunday, it's not like the All Ireland Final where Kerry only got 14 thousand tickets

Obviously,but why would you buy tickets for a game you didn't know you were in.
Ye had a week of being able to access those tickets knowing you were in the semi.

Couldn't dublin supporters take the chance and buy them before the match yesterday. And even if the lost go to the game as a neutral. With all the talk about ticket shortages the amount of mayo and tryone supporters hanging around outside The Hogan stand at 2 mins past 4 with not a hurry on them was quite something.

imagine the reams of non-Dubs sneerily accusing Dublin fans of arrogance by buying tickets for a semi-final they hadn't even qualified for.

Let's face it, the GAA don't care who gets the tickets as long as they're sold.

Could the not go to the game as a neutral? I bought a ticket last week for the match and it makes no difference to me who wins

It's Tickets.ie and Ticketmaster who decide when thrir tickets go on sale not the GAA. Now there'll be loads of tickets in the hands of touts to fund organised crime. And Seatwave are also allowed to sell GAA tickets at massively inflated prices, assuming most of these also being sold by touts. Can the GAA do anything to stop touting or is it down to changing the law?

Not a chance tickets.ie and ticketmaster can sell tickets for a Gaa event without being given permission by the Gaa to do so. The Gaa decide when tickets are made available.

Tickets.ie are the official ticketing partner of the GAA so you can easily imagine they can sell the tickets when they like.

Croí makes a good point. Maybe they should consult with the GAA before putting tickets online. If they don't then I can see it's just business for Tickets, they've no obligation to look after supporters. Probably wary of an upset Donegal win so they could shift more tickets for a potential low-attendance semi with Kerry.

If it's down to the GAA they've made a balls of it.
