Up until the Leinster final, I would have said the best seat in the house was the referees!!

The press seats or the area were the Taoiseach and President of the GAA sit.Your right in the middle of the pitch there.the premium level is a bit overrated if you ask me. There is no atmosphere up there at all.

The Premium seats are the best seats in the house. Absolutely love them, you are at a perfect height and generally surrounded by similar gaels (any time I have been there I think they are). Also there are only about 10-15 rows of seats so getting to the toilet or the bar or for some food at half time isnt a complete mission. I dont know about corporate level but I have heard there is no atmosphere in it at all and most people in that level are only there for the day out and the free drink.

If you are within twenty feet of the taoiseach you are in the best seats, got premium seats once for a game and most of the crowd there stood at the bar and watched the game on the tv.

What grinds my gears is when the Great and the Good get these tickets even though they very rarely set foot at a Gaelic match unless its the All Ireland final , I consider myself fortunate that I have been able to tickets for the Hogan 85 Canal 95 Hill 03 Hill 05 Cusack 08

what do ye think about the nally terrace lads?! I've 3 tickets for it, never stood in it before. Always taut it seemed a bit distant/removed from other parts of de stadium. Probably not as good an atmospheric as the hill but maybe more comfortable?!

banner_boy don't think its called the Nally anymore I could be wrong ,The Old Nally stand ended up in Carrickmore .

I wouldn't rate the Premium Section at all as it is usually occupied by moochers, people who wouldn't pay to go and see a match, all they are interested in is how much free beer and food they can get. I remember giving a ticket for the Premium Section a few years ago and when I met him the following day his comments were " I was disappointed to hear the sound of the till as I came in, I thought everything was free".

no bad seat imo a brilliantly designed stadium no blind spots
