This is an absolute disgrace the amount of money it costs into a match, a problem the GAA needs to sort out quick and now, They are worrying about people not going to matches. Well that's going to make a smaller amount people go now , nearly over a hundred Derry people left that Louth match because of the price , and I would not blame them . Its 6 pounds for a U16 as well . It should be a fiver for a adult and free for U18s not 16s. Now if its a real championship match it should be fifteen for an adult, fiver for a child, even if its the All Ireland final. oakleafersir (Derry) - Posts: 808 - 21/06/2016 21:45:29 1870497 Link

It's very easy to find out how much a match ticket is going to be in advance of a game. Don't believe for a second nearly 100 people left because of the price.

Replying To Dellboypolecat: "Double header" Yes I'm aware of that, it usually is a double-header, still too expensive for me unfortunately :( KerryKillers (Dublin) - Posts: 711 - 22/06/2016 00:26:25 1870551 Link
14,24 Euros to see a Matinee in Odeon cinema I'd call 16 euros a very realistic price based on the current going of things. Let's face it we can't expect the GAA to not make a bit of gain....as they're one to do Seansy48 (Tyrone) - Posts: 237 - 22/06/2016 14:21:36 1870758 Link
Replying To Dellboypolecat: "Are you for real complaining about 16 Euro ? That is cheap in my eyes holy Christ" Exactly. Less than the cost of a decent Indian / Chinese takeway. MedwayIrish (Wexford) - Posts: 2324 - 22/06/2016 14:33:53 1870768 Link

Wanting to get into a championship game for a fiver is daft. maybe if the qualifer games for 15 euro if you bought a ticket in the days before the watch might be better. ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 22/06/2016 17:42:29 1870853 Link

Never mentioned anything as low as a fiver, 15 would be more my neck of the woods, we don't all have money to spare unfortunately!

It would be spent in 5 min at the pub. No way did 100 people get to Owenbeg oblivious to current pricing structures and then leave. Balls!! DoireCityFC (Derry) - Posts: 1580 - 22/06/2016 17:58:08 1870857 Link
Great value. GAA really do put the FAI and IRFU to shame with their prices. mike03 (Limerick) - Posts: 2000 - 22/06/2016 19:51:30 1870890 Link
When you go to the cinema, you get a good movie (assuming you watch the trailer). It is value for money. An intercounty Gaa match before August is mostly utter tripe. In my opinion €5 would be a fair price. I would not go if it was free. Costs €8 to go to club championship matches here in Cork. Really good value. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 22/06/2016 22:11:45 1870923 Link
