The GAA are right not to give too many tickets to Dublin. Sure if they did that, the game wouldnt start on time waiting for them to drink up. This way they can be guaranteed that the game will start at 3.30....

On a serious note, from my experience, anyone who deserves a ticket will get one. If you are putting in the work at club, divisional or county level - your work will be rewarded. What I hate to hear is people coming on here saying they 'have been to most of the games' and they think that entitles them to a ticket... If you are working hard within your club, you will be rewarded. Sure going to the games is an easy day out. If you have 'been to most of the matches' why didnt you buy a season ticket in January to guarantee your seat on finals day?

I can only speak for myself of course but I can't afford a season ticket.

Would you keep me in mind please. I'm like a fruitjob on twitter, Facebook, HS, Proc, Toutless.ie looking for tickets. Genuine supporter here I'm hoping several of my HS buddies will vouch for me.

I fully endorse Jackeen's ticket bid! A vote for Jackeen is a vote for fair play.

Jackeen is a shoe in for a ticket if you have one hardcore dub and not one of those headwrecking ones either!!

Just joined this hogan stand today and I'm having a right laugh reading all these comments. I started going to hurling matches in 1998 and I have only missed a handful of matches and still every year I have trouble getting a ticket for the all ireland, it is ridiculous bit in the end I always manage one, so I think if someone really deserves a ticket they will get one through a club contact or some where! I do think hill 16 should be left for the dubs they are the only team that fill the hill all year and leave it to them on all ireland day, bring a bit of colour to the stadium!

Hope ye all get sorted!

Is there one post about tickets for this Sunday on this thread...?

It's incredible the lack of coverage the Hurling final is getting... perhaps it's the likes of HAG keeping it low key...?

Of course it would be a different story if Dublin were in the final.... or would it?

Shameful lack of enthusiasm about hurling... sad to see

Lads no point worrying about tickets for the football just yet. They havent been released yet so no point panicking yet. Most tickets wont become available until the last week. Its a bit of stress but I think that people who look hard enough always get them.

Last year I had none on the sunday before the final and on the saturday evening before the match I had 8 tickets to choose from. Ask as many people as possible, some one you would least expect always comes up with the goods.

Heading to the hurling final on Sunday and looking for two Hill 16 tickets (bit skint so trying for the cheaper option). Never had a problem picking them up on the day and I'm sure it will be the case again this year.

Aint many tickets down these parts are like gold dust.... but their always seems to be tickets that turn up on the day of most finals just get in around the gresham early or even the night before.
