Probably the biggest ever attendance combined for the hurling semi finals

In fairness to the Cork Hurling supporters - they nearly sold out Croke Park on their own.

In general, I mean, I know there are juvenile, student and OAP ticket prices but a family ticket works in other sports and definitely worth bringing it in for GAA. I would think it is near impossible for a FAMILY to get 4 tickets for an All Ireland Final. People are lucky to get 1 ticket for an AI Final. Looking at the AI Hurling Semi Final where Cork had approx 70,000 fans, which in it self is remarkable. I was looking at the ticket breakdown for Finals...: 59,212 - county allocations 10,528 - Premium & Corporate 2,594 - Season Tickets 2,358 - Term Tickets 1,666 - Schools 1,250 - Sponsors 820 - Staff & Sub Committees 800 - Ard Chomhairle & GAA Presidents 480 - Overseas 380 - Provinces 258 - Press 240 - Third Level 228 - National Referee Panel 212 - Rounders/Handball 200 - Croke Park Residents 188 - Mini Games 148 - Match day teams 140 - Camogie 100 - Ladies Football 74 - Tv & Radio 70 - Jubilee Team 60 - Sport Ireland Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 08/07/2025 12:15:45 2624348 Link 0 |
Good idea as there's usually lots of families of four who attend the All Ireland finals!!!!!!! Mind boggling stuff

They should do that but they won't. Prices should be lowered across the board as they are too high, attending matches is a very expensive day out. There is no point complaining about ticket prices however because the GAA don't care. Prices won't be lowered, they will continue to increase. What was the need for the GAA to put an extra €5 on All Ireland Hurling semi final tickets when those attendances are already very profitable due to the high level of attendance?? That is super capitalism. Call a spade a spade the GAA is a greedy, self serving organisation for whom maximising profits is their driving motivation. The cost of going to matches has priced a lot of people out and that is to the eternal shame of the GAA because it is against the principles on which the organisation was founded.

It definitely looks that way. They need to be very careful though. I think once you hit the €100 threshold for an AI Final ticket, there then becomes no limit. 110, 125 wont be far away. Family Tickets are a great idea but as you say, they wont introduce, I reckon. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 08/07/2025 12:45:22 2624366 Link 0 |
Principles? To let everyone in free? Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 2515 - 08/07/2025 12:49:55 2624370 Link 0 |
They got The GAA part right, what it stood for was the Grab All Association. Concert season will be upon us soon after we get the football and hurling finished asap. More money for the boys who can't even keep the score.
