This whole ticket thing is very strange. I'm going to ask some questions here, specifically referring to the Munster HC as that is what I'm familiar with; Seeking_silver (Limerick) - Posts: 411 - 11/04/2022 10:54:48 2410498 Link 0 |

LHR.I am a season ticket holder. I eventually, and after some considerable effort got tickets for the first three games up on my phone. However I now see under them 'EXPIRED PASSES'. I have repeatedly emailed season [email protected] to clarify what this means but no reply whatsoever is coming back. Long ago I had an elderly relative who had a pub in an iconic West Limerick Village. She was what we might call a a pragmatic Diplomat. At closing time she would entreat her loyal customers to go vacate the premises by yelling aloud 'GO HOME NOW LADS, I HAVE YERE MONEY AND YE HAVE YERE PISS' This delightful repast could easily form the Mission Statement for Ticketmaster.

That's showing a record of tickets for old games or other events that you bought tickets for. The Ticketmaster help stuff is poor enough. Not enough info showing you how to save tickets to apps like Google Pay so you can view tickets offline. link GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7369 - 11/04/2022 13:04:56 2410526 Link 3 |

This has been going on for years. I remember 98 when Kildare reached th All Ireland and genuine supporters couldn't get tickets while people who never went before or since were at the final. The GAA have had ample time to ensure that supporters who go to club and national league games are prioritised for championship games and they have done nothing. Once upon a time i defended the GAA when people accused it of being the grab all association but i have come to my senses; all they understand is money. They don't care as long as they are getting the money in. Let's hope that the true essence of the GAA; the club scene remains in tact.

There's a season ticket system that looks after supporters who go to lots of games. I've never had one, don't go to enough games, couldn't get on the list now anyways. Supporters can get tickets for most games now right up to the finals. It's always tight for tickets for competing counties in finals but the system for rewarding clubs around the country is a good one. A lot of supporters not living in their home county get final tickets that way. Clubs from counties participating in hurling and football finals swap tickets. The same amount of tickets get sold so the GAA don't profit from that. I'm not sure though that they're not caught unawares by the online ticket system. Seem to expect a new day and everyone will easily access electronic tickets. Are there any GAA auditors asking supporters how satisfied with the ticket purchasing system online/in shops and what can be done to improve it? Quality is what the customer says it is and every supporter buying a ticket is a customer in this case.

I am going through my club to find out how the GAA can explain ticket sales to me..there are tickets now allocated to clubs for Saturday night v Waterford..this after being told before championship started tickets could only be got through Ticketmaster..what's worse is the tickets on sale now seem to be the best available in Gaelic grounds..most people who intend going have tickets got since they went on sale well before cork match..am I the only club member who has a major problem with this??

All U.20 games in Connacht at least are all ticket affairs which is fine. However you cannot purchase them anywhere else bar on line. Now there are loads of people who simply don't have access to the internet or have very basic phones or maybe just can't navigate around the process of buying on line.

I can even understand that senior games are all ticket but minor and under 20 is a complete joke..I know that elderly people arrived at Gaelic grounds for under 20 hurling v Clare and told go across the road and get a ticket there..what was wrong with having a place people could walk up to at the ground,pay their money and then go in..why was ticket distribution not left to the clubs??are Gaa top brass saying there was a lot of fiddling done on gates and through clubs??lets have an official tell us..

Could the GAA not divide up the tickets and sell some online, some via clubs and some via various outlets. This would allow all people to access tickets regardless of whether they are online or not. To exclude people who are interested in attending matches and in a number of cases have attended all their lives on the basis of not having the capabilities to purchase a ticket online is simply wrong. Not everyone can purchase tickets online and may have no one that can do it for them. I have advised a number of older people for the last number of years on how to view games online, purchase tickets etc. It was necessary during covid but the GAA seem to have used covid to accelerate the move to online with no consideration for this category of supporter. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 1916 - 19/04/2022 15:06:49 2411604 Link 4 |

Anyone know what the story is for tickets for the football quarter final on Sunday is? I've been regularly checking online for tickets and there's tickets available one minute and then it says there are no tickets currently available. If the game isn't sold out surely there should always be some availability online for the game even if it is just Hill and Nally tickets. Are the GAA trying to panic people into buying or what? Seems like they are missing a trick here as if people see there are no tickets available they will make alternative plans to watch a match. centrefield99 (Galway) - Posts: 105 - 23/06/2022 20:39:24 2427145 Link 3 |

It's a disaster trying to get tickets through Ticketmaster..I can't figure out why the best seats will be come available next week.if you can get a look at stadium map it looks like it's tickets at end of ground are on sale..think it's a case of making sure they panic people into buying their tickets early..why are county boards not asking more questions??or why don't clubs put pressure on croke park for answers??

You could say the same for every all ireland final, its always the same. But sure its the same with every sport, the real supporters get left behind when it comes to the big occasions.

Yesterdays double header was sold out online but the officially attendance was only 71,353. You couldn't get a ticket for a few days leading up to the game. If Croke Park has a capacity of 82,300 why did they have capacity so low? What about the other 11,000 or so tickets? centrefield99 (Galway) - Posts: 105 - 27/06/2022 17:49:54 2428130 Link 0 |

I think it's because season ticket holders don't take up the option to buy tickets within a certain time. I've never had a season ticket so don't really know.

It wouldn't equate to 11,000 but how many tickets would the RTE studio take up? That whole section has been taken over by RTE. Surely they won't be allowed to use it much longer as games get bigger?
