The 2016 GAA season ticket went on sale today - and adult tickets have increased while juvenile tickets have doubled in price from €10 to €20.

The adult season ticket now costs €99 up from €95 last year, but the thing that has really annoyed many season ticket holders is that the early bird price option has been removed. 12-month's ago you had the option to buy a season ticket for €85 if you purchased before 31 October.

The price increase is the second consecutive year that the season ticket price has gone up by €10, with the early bird renewal costing just €75 for a 2014 ticket.

Here is what's included in the GAA season ticket...

• All your County's Allianz League round matches plus all League semi finals, play-offs and finals in that code.
• Your County's opening Championship fixture.
• All Allianz League round matches in your selected code. So if you have a Longford Football Season Ticket you can go to any Allianz League Football match.
• AIB GAA Club All-Ireland Finals in Croke Park on St. Patrick's Day.
• You will also enjoy discount prices during the Championship - "Pay & Play" kicks in after your opening Championship fixture.

Club+

The Club+ price has been set at €200 for all Counties. A significant change for 2016 is that anyone who avails of the Club+ Season Ticket will be guaranteed an All-Ireland final ticket should their county qualify, regardless of the attendance percentage during the year.

Club+ is an add on to the regular GAA Season Ticket which covers entry to county championship fixtures within your county.

It is an increase but still represents value if you ask us.
 

Price of GAA Season Ticket 2016 up to €99, €20 for Juveniles. That's a massive hike.

So @officialgaa hike the price of season ticket, don't offer early bird price, and call it "great value".....
