Sponsor etc but most of the pages on Facebook are fake and people have been warned but are still sharing like mad. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11232 - 15/09/2016 15:54:34 1914688 Link

It's a huge corporate day.. Not fair on the average Joe but that's how it is now. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 15/09/2016 15:58:19 1914693 Link
One north Dublin club on the radio has people in for 645 tickets but only have 60 tickets for their draw?? A 1 in 10 chance of getting a ticket?? Tickets in Dublin are like Willy Wonka golden tickets. hurler32 (Limerick) - Posts: 867 - 15/09/2016 16:03:23 1914696 Link
Look, there's a huge amount of stuff written about where to get tickets, who to talk to, etc. If you want to go to the game THAT badly, go to the Big tree and both adjacent roads (North circular and Dorset St / Drumcondra Rd) with €150 in your pocket and you'll find a tout happy to do business. It's not fair, nobody likes touts, it will actually tell you on the ticket that it's illegal, but that is one of the few sure-fire ways to get your hands on a ticket. €70 above face value. . .how much time/money has been wasted on chasing red herrings over the past month to find one at €80? cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 15/09/2016 16:06:03 1914698 Link

I saw 3 different competitions from 3 different companies all with the exact same tickets in their photos. Half of them (if not more) aren't real competitions. It's just a way for them to get more likes on their Facebook page. Sad but true. CroiGorm (Dublin) - Posts: 1547 - 15/09/2016 16:09:52 1914704 Link
Replying To lowballplease: "the 7s is a waste of time for tickets..." It might be, I've never been, but sitting on your arse on Saturday bemoaning the lack of tickets will get you nothing. Even if no-one at the 7s has spare tickets they might put you in touch with someone that has a ticket. Plus you'll have some craic and see some good games. €150 for a ticket from a tout is good for the biggest day in the football season.

Be surprised if youd get one for 150, The touts dont have them?? You might be blessed to bump into a genuine sort who has a spare but after the Dublin V Kerry Match everyone wants to be at final on top of two hugely supported counties. hurler32 (Limerick) - Posts: 867 - 15/09/2016 19:08:52 1914795 Link
Anyone know much about city post? And would it be possible to receive tickets tomorrow evening if they are sent tomorrow morning? Coming from Dingle apparently.. MarkMyWords (Meath) - Posts: 498 - 15/09/2016 22:57:36 1914907 Link
Looking to swap a hill ticket for a stand one. Anyone? custardcreams (Clare) - Posts: 19 - 15/09/2016 23:52:36 1914917 Link
Replying To MarkMyWords: "Anyone know much about city post? And would it be possible to receive tickets tomorrow evening if they are sent tomorrow morning? Coming from Dingle apparently.." I don't think so but ring them. Better chance if they can send them as early as possible today. http://www.citypost.ie My Dad had tickets sent with City Post in 2013 from Limerick to myself in Maynooth. I checked on the tracker and it looked like they were stuck in Limerick. But with the help of great An Post staff and a last minute dash to the depot near The Red Cow and tickets were got !

Tickets in Dublin are like Willy Wonka golden tickets." Our club got 60 tickets. We've about 500 members. I'm sure the usual members were 'lucky' again this year getting a ticket. How they've not won the lotto with the luck they seem to have I'll never know. CroiGorm (Dublin) - Posts: 1547 - 16/09/2016 11:48:58 1915027 Link

Our club has a little over 2,800 members - received 85 tickets. First year i have not renewed my parnell pass as my first born came along in April and it had slipped my mind to renew until it was too late. Went through the club for all games this year, and the usual politics happened last night and Johnny come latelys who would be friendly with the ''sub-committee'' responsible for ticket allocations pretty much all got sorted. Myself and other members of the senior football team left short tickets. If anyone can help out (preferably a terrace ticket), I would greatly appreciate it.

How much were the face value for Hill tickets this year? Kirkintilloch (Donegal) - Posts: 43 - 16/09/2016 15:40:10 1915143 Link
Replying To custardcreams: "Looking to swap a hill ticket for a stand one. Anyone?" If you don't want the hill ticket , I'm in Shannon, willing to buy it. mayoclare (Clare) - Posts: 5 - 17/09/2016 16:47:46 1915391 Link
Anyone with a ticket or knows someone with a ticket who can't go to the game for whatever reasons, I'm looking for a ticket, cheers. mayoclare (Clare) - Posts: 5 - 17/09/2016 16:49:45 1915393 Link

What's the chances of finding a ticket on the day? MarkMyWords (Meath) - Posts: 498 - 18/09/2016 00:08:27 1915503 Link
You'll find one if you're willing to pay the silly money the touts ask Tomorrow will be a day of legwork and asking around Kirkintilloch (Donegal) - Posts: 43 - 18/09/2016 01:02:05 1915508 Link
