does anybody else think €15 and €10 if you pay on the day is too much for a pre season tournament i think €8 and €5 is enough. The mckenna cup final is €10 . We need to reward and encourage people to attend these games.

Can you explain the difference in ticket prices? I think €10 is enough for a preseason tournament.

30 Euro for a couple to go to Limerick Cork match sunday in a tournament final is greedy . The people who set these prices never pay themselves and have other freebies but money is tight enough for many other people in regional ireland .

janesboro (Limerick) - Posts:1027 - 27/01/2017 09:54:57Janesboro you are always complaining about prices?
The way you go on makes you sound very much like a cheapskate.
Why is €15 too much? These are still inter county games? Munster hurling league income from tickets helps the Munster council and they provide money to clubs like below.

janesboro (Limerick) - Posts:1027 - 27/01/2017 11:31:41It probably was a final being higher price for obvious reasons and having kids free can be great but all the extra money from tickets can be invested back into the association providing more training for referees, coaching development officers and all the background stuff that helps produce the players who are involved in the game at every level.

Should be free entry, GAA makes enough money in the summer. If they have to charge it should be linked to some charity.

janesboro (Limerick) - Posts:1028 - 27/01/2017 16:53:45There is still significant costs to games. Often Pre season tournaments will give funds towards specific causes or be used by the provincial councils for specific game development purposes and the money is re invested in the game. Why is it a problem if the money is reinvested within the GAA?

For God sake €10!!!! Are we really up in arms over €10, Its only a pittance.
You'd be lucky to get 2 pints for that these days and your getting 70minutes of hurling. What has the fact its in January got to do with anything.
Plus the GAA let kids go free in, what more can they do?
Believe me I have many issues with how the GAA run things, but most of the time their ticket pricing policy is not one of them.
I think people need to cop on a little and actually compare what the GAA offers per ticket price with other sports. A bog standard Pro-12 game against Zebra in Thomond would set you back €30-40 for a stand seat.
I've paid €90 for a cheap seat at Six Nations matches against the likes of Scotland, sure even for Robbie Keane's final match against Oman they were charging €30 to sit in the singing section.
I'm going to New York in May for a holiday and was looking at possibly going to watch the Yankees play some team I've never heard of and even for the worst seats in the house they are charging €300 a pop!
But if a tenner is really too much then there's a simple solution:

Sure it was 40euro into stand and 20euro into terrace for munsters challenge match against the Maori x15 you didn't seem to think that was steep haha
I think 10 euro is what it should be myself for these games as the money is ment to go to the injured players fund for these competitions so should be trying to get people to go not up the pricing

Best way of developing the game is getting kids to go to these games hence why it's free for kids. No point having it free for kids if parents can't afford to pay for themselves. Don't think it would break the GAA bank to open the gates at this time of year. I hear all of the money made in Lenister at this time of year goes to a players injury fund

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBIKSOlje7Q" Hermit, clearly paying 90 euro etc for rugby matchs , Flying to America and paying 300 euro for tickets you are swimming in the money. Not all of us however are as well off as you . Ten euro might be pittance to you but some of us still value a tenner or should i say have to value a tenner.

hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts:11571 - 28/01/2017 17:35:11 Calling Munster Maori game a challenge game is wrong. Games like that in rugby that are not part of a full competition have a completely different meaning for players in rugby so the comparison is completely wrong.
If you dropped the price to 10 would you really boost the attendance enough to make enough to cover the loss of tickets at 15 or 20€??

therealtmo (Tipperary) - Posts:1145 - 28/01/2017 19:16:58 They money from all the games will be going to be invested straight back into the game so why is there such an issue. Especially when its only 20 maybe and people easily will spend more than that on night in pub or if they go to the cinema

Ah feck off with that crap now lad, I'm from the side of a mountain covered in rushes and bog and damn proud of it too.
I said I will be in New York and thought I might as well try and take in a bit of their sporting culture by way of baseball if I could, do you think I have any notion of spending that kind of money on a sport I don't even know the rules of? And yes I spent €90 for 6 Nations match and saved up for the privilege.
€10 is not a lot of money you'd havebit spent in half an hour in a pub without thinking

Yeah so much so that munster put out their second string side come off it would you 40euro for a challenge game is robbery. You can dress it up all you like but that game cost the same as my all ireland final ticket this year!

hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts:11573 - 29/01/2017 00:31:37Munster didnt include the players they had in the irish squad as they werent allowed. it wasnt a challenge game. i get it that you cant grasp how things work in rugby. Other sports treat games differently. Sure lots in GAA are very negative about all games at inter county bar provincial and all ireland championships saying "sure its only...."
And €40 to see a top quality new zealand side. One that rarely has played in or against irish sides is excellent value

They weren't playing simply because it was a meaningless game if it mattered they would have played, how can you be so oblivious or stubborn to admit that it's clearly a challenge game if there's nothing at stake.
a top quality side hahahahaha
They are a bunch of guys thrown together simply because of their geneology, if they were top class they would be on the actual new Zealand team so yeah 40euro for a challenge game is great value you reckon man your some tulip. Is there anything regarding rugby you actually allow yourself to criticize?

hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts:11575 - 29/01/2017 13:24:04 No the main munster players in irish squad were not playing as the game was midweek between 2 important test games. If game wasnt in between the international tests Murray, Ryan, Stander etc would all have been involved
You are a GAA man. Rugby treats games like that differently. You dont seem to grasp that and the Maoris are a top quality side. And dont be a hypocrite calling me a "tulip" yet criticise me for sometimes calling people names. Double standards are pathetic.
