Hag posted earlier in this topic that there were problems with their season tickets. Just wondering what problems were. We had no problems. 100% attendance and getting AIF tickets. We still need 2 for my son and his girlfriend who were at all home games but didn't buy season tickets.
Did your attendance not register at some games? Was there a scanning problem?

Any 'steerage passengers' sitting in the lower hogan with the rest of the ordinary people will need to watch out for myself and the mot throwing the curly crusts off our prawn sandwiches down on top of ye to see the seagulls dive bomb ye for possession of them!!! Ha ha!

Got my ticket via the season ticket no probs at all in the end. That being said, that came as a surprise as I felt they were very disorganized this year with tickets not being sent to me for some league games.
But this is the beauty of the season ticket - attendance is taken into account and I don't have to get involved for the mad scramble for tickets that so many others have to. Time to put the feet up and relax till the final

Snuf: premium level is so 2005, you should really get with it.

Il be looking down at poor pagans likes you from my corporate level seat laughing at the people in premium trying to play the rich mans games. Simultaneously pegging the unwanted bits of my freshly cooked lobster at your 'kind'.

ahsure,

You'll be in with me so!
Its a corporate box Im always in!....just always regarded that whole middle tier as 'premium level'!!

Thanks for reminding me to make the differentiation in future, I wouldnt want to be associated with 'steerage' supporters!

My good man, we should meet for truffles and pour drams of middleton rare down on top of the ordinary people in the 'premium' ha ha seats in their 'river island' fashions!!

Soon as I got off the train there were lads throwing tickets at me.. Could of ended up with at least 15 tickets if I was looking for them.

I didnt read through all the posts but it seems to me the GAA need to stop the practice of giving every club in ireland 2 tickets.This is crazy and totally unfair on dublin and kerry.If there is tickets left over(which there wont be this time) then send them to other counties.This has been going on for donkies years and i can believe a county hasnt put a motion into congress to stop it.
My hope would be that the dubs wont stand for it like other counties do.In fairness ye usually dont take this kinda sh*te

I'm organising a raffle in Dublin the weekend for two tickets. €5 a ticket. I heard some clubs are doing ones for €25 a tickets which is a scandal!

moltoir,

Thats right, we usually dont stand for that kinda s****, and its usually the rest of the country that leaves it up to the dubs to fight the battles for them cos they know we are the GAA heavyweight!!

Can you believe on the Dublin forum the news list shows that the Mayo supporters club in Dublin is getting tickets!!....their own losers are nowhere near the grounds that day!!!!........the mind boggles!!

The sad thing about every club getting two tickets also for a Dublin V Kerry final is that there is absolutely no chance of those tickets being returned because you can guarantee that any neutrals about the country in their club that get their hands on thier clubs 2 ticket allocation will want to go themselves!!!.....its the Dubs on AI final day afterall!!!....everyone wants to be there for that no matter where they come from!!

Glad to hear you wont be mingling with the 'pretenders', Snuf. Ill see ye there.

Perhaps the ones above us in the upper sections may peg fig roles and the occasional crust of their 'hang sangwich' at us, but the lobster will pack a heavier punch to those pagans above us.

ahsure,

Those 'new money' sitting above us that have spent the Christmas presents money to get in wont be able to afford any more than a packet of meanies between them and they wont be flung too far lad!!!

The mate loves talking about what he calls the 'curly sandwiches' which are the platter of sandwiches that have been left out for too long such that the crusts of them begin to go hard at the corners, ha ha!!!
They are the best ones to throw at the peasants cos there is a chance a hard corner might do some damage!

My favourite bit is when a peasant in the lower hogan gets into a fight with a seagull for possession a few prawns we peg down on them!!

ahsure, try this lad:
A mate of mine often brings his fishing rod and lowers a chicken wing down to the lower hogan ordinary people, and as they reach for it he reels it in and the pauper looks up with a hungry poor look on his face and we all die laughing!!........it works with 'fivers' as well!!!!

Might be a new thing for ye lads but ye'll find that a hell of a lot of tickets go to corporate sponsors..... mightn't have been the case back in 1995, but sure the main reason there's interest in the dubs has a lot to do with the corporate stuff so I suppose don't bite the hand that feeds ye.

No doubt snuff you'll be up with the other big wings looking down on the working class dubs in hill 16, maybe they should put a 200 ft high barrier in front of the hill and paint it blue and navy so you don't have to look at the working class!

Had to up my asking price for two tickets this morning. Had three people from Dublin offering €500 so now €600, should eliminate a few
