Least we forget a lot of Mayo fans have forked out a lot of money to see Mayo play over the past few years, won nothing and keep coming back. I am not sure how many tickets go overseas but I am almost certain that most of them will end up in Mayo supporters hands and they will pay a fortune to get back home to be at the final. Yea Dublin bring more than any other county to CP but they also have the lest cost and inconvenience in doing so. There will always be complaints about tickets on AI Final day - its all part of the way things are! Anyway I hear there are plenty of tickets available for this weekends All Ireland Final. zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 1805 - 21/09/2016 16:33:10 1917543 Link 1 |
Correct jimbo - those tickets go back to Croke Park for them to redistribute, is there any proof that there is an agenda against Dublin? Hard to call that simply based on how it looked in Croke Park last Sunday. Maybe not as many Dublin fans wore as much of their county colours and were as easy to spot? Unless the Dublin clubs can verify the number they received from the redistribution doesn't match those the Mayo clubs got then there's not much to support the theory keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 21/09/2016 16:37:38 1917547 Link 0 |

People continuing to bang on here about club members entitlement to all ireland final day. First off Dublin clubs have huge numbers in comparison with country clubs in terms of membership so therefore if the club member should be looked after then shouldn't that entitle Dublin to a larger ticket allocations based on having larger numbers? Secondly why aren't all these hardened club people demanding tickets for all ireland club final day???? That is after all the biggest day for clubs in the country yet the club member from non competing counties don t even look for allocations, the ground holds 82 thousand yet on all ireland club final day you get around 30 thousand overall attendance for both football and hurling as a double header. Thirdly this is a replay the gaa have already done their club members a service on all ireland final day, this is an extra game shouldn't they reward the competing counties who were not able yo get enough for the first game by giving them a directly larger amount this cutting out the middle men who send them directly to mayo hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 21/09/2016 17:59:24 1917603 Link 1 |
Jesus lads, there's a lot of stuff being written about tickets. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 21/09/2016 18:04:01 1917606 Link 1 |
I dont follow any of those fan pages. But the sentiment of boycotting league home games is a feeling that will be received well by many Dublin fans. Crazy how many tickets the Mayo fans got compared to Dublin. Why wouldnt fans be annoyed when the allocation of tickets is so one sided. People who were at that debacle against Roscommon in the league and every other league game could get tickets. Its frustrating. The AI Final should be a 50/50 split between the counties involved. This sending them out to the counties is pointless. Ps. The final should be played on a Saturday. JayP (Dublin) - Posts: 1772 - 21/09/2016 18:49:18 1917632 Link 0 |
My debut post here. There were clearly way more Mayo fans in Croker on Sunday. It's also well known that there were NO returned tickets to any club in Dublin. I'm a committee member in my own club and know this to be true. The authorities in Croke Park got NO tickets back from other counties. It's obvious that the nuetral counties are not nuetral. veterandub (Dublin) - Posts: 1 - 21/09/2016 19:15:05 1917649 Link 1 |
Why would any club want to return two highly sought after tickets for the biggest day on the GAA calender? m_the_d (None) - Posts: 1099 - 21/09/2016 20:24:24 1917692 Link 0 |
With no minor match before replay I hope both counties get close to 40,000 tickets each. Curlew66 (Roscommon) - Posts: 506 - 21/09/2016 20:25:51 1917694 Link 0 |
I was told the exact same from friends spread out across several clubs, many devote club people were scrambling looking for one from a raffle! No tickets came back to Whitehall, Isles, Na Fianna, Kickhams or Peregrines and that's just the clubs I'm aware of Unwanted tickets went west and no doubt there was a large lopsided amount of tickets that went Mayo's way to a load of bandwagoners True blue Dub club members were left empty handed while Mayo was awash with tickets. Just shows the prejudice that very much exists and it's at the expense of true club people in Dublin jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 21/09/2016 20:46:43 1917709 Link 0 |
the majority of club members in most counties do go to the vast majority of county games...largely because these people are gaa fanatics in a lot of cases

what a lot of you don't seem to realise is the amount of mayo people living and working outside of mayo is huge. i myself live outside the county. the first week after mayo got through to the final i called and text everyone i knew that's involved in the gaa here where im living and all of my family member's did the same, we got 12 ticket's from outside of the county and 2 within the county. now that's just 1 family. do you's realise the amount of people that have brother's, sister's, uncle's, aunt's, friend's, colleagues living in every county all over the country. i can guarantee you everyone of them were contacted in the day's following mayo's semi, that is the reason why so many mayo people were there, plain and simple glasagusdhearg (Mayo) - Posts: 55 - 21/09/2016 22:01:19 1917759 Link 3 |
Why should only dublin get the much cheaper hill tickets? Would agree with you re the allocation to other counties for the replay and politicians should get none

Ah yeah Sure Dublin people have no relatives outside of Dublin jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 21/09/2016 23:31:34 1917789 Link 0 |
I doubt too many clubs sent there tickets to any other county. My own club which is a small rural club had a raffle for our 2 tickets and could have easily sold 100 plus tickets if the had them to local people

I am sure those current senior dublin players who won under 21 all Ireland's in the last few years will laugh and think of the woeful support the got in those finals when the hear of this great dublin support. ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 22/09/2016 00:17:30 1917792 Link 0 |
