How can the GAA expect people to pay €75 to see an All-Ireland Final in a recession for a stand ticket. Any parents who have three or more children cant expect them to pay near €400 for tickets and petrol food etc has to be taken into account. I know where my friends and family will be going this year and thats the hill. Its the only place where people can get anywhere near value for money.

75 is a bit much... I'll still pay it though unless a hill ticket can be located!

Just another example of the GAA not caring about the ordinary supporter.

Not only the price of tickets these days but the food and drink inside is painful! I was at the game yesterday and the lad I was with went down to get a few drinks. He got 4 coke's and a popcorn amounting to 14e. Such ridiculous prices!

Triple H-- Why in the name of god did the young get 4 cokes, did he have a bottle of vodka hidden in his jacket.

I would say he got away handy, I bet you 14e wouldn't have covered the round in Jury's!!

To highlight all that is wrong with the GAA and the commercialisation at the expense of the ordinary fan I have this morning regretfully accepted 2 box tickets for next Sunday

Hurlingguru, you needn't worry too much about All Ireland Final ticket prices seen as you're from Carlow! Nor should I.

Cavan1947 I was born and rared in kilkenny so dont go skiting other counties when your own county are nowhere near an all ireland and if I remember correctly on July 11th Carlow beat Down 1-15 0-14 in Croke Park in the Christy Ring Cup Final which in my opinion is an ALL IRELAND FINAL and we will be seeing Carlow in the Liam Mc Carthy next year. I dont see Cavan making any great strides in hurling or football.

Does the GAAs greed suprise anyone. what are we gonna do? i'll be there forking out my 75euro on september 20th.

on a similiar note another thing that really annoys me with the GAA is playing lets say a hurling semi final and football quarter final double header and charging the semi final price. very unfair
