I'm just wondering does the premium level b open for the Dublin v Kildare game saturday night. The reason I'm asking is that I bring my son and daughter to all the games and was thinking I'd treat them if I cud premium tickets. So does anyone know where I can get them?

Premium tickets don't be for sale to public because it's companies who own the seats unfortunately. From my experience there is nothing really special about premium section better atmosphere in ordinary seats.

You can Premium tickets from the Croke Park Príomh website http://www.crokepark.ie/Priomh

I think you have to pay to be registered with them as a Príomh member, once you're registered though you can purchase Premium Level tickets for any game. They're generally 5 euro more than the normal stand ticket.

Premium level and boxes open alright, seats are usually owned by companies so don't go on sale. Usually empty for leagues games so if you know anyone in these companies usually no problem to get them

It will be open but unless you know someone who might lend you a few you can't get them. Kids probably enjoy the athmosphere in the ordinary stand better and you can get them hot dogs and stuff. Premium is a bit dead as someone else said. You can have a dinner in the big draughty place but nothing to write home about!

I agree with what the lads say. I gave away three box tickets last year for the hurling semi to go to the stand. Prefer the atmosphere outside i have to say.

All the banks have boxes so if your friendly with your manager might be worth a bell.

A good, central stand seat is better than any premium one. The area is generally occupied by people only half interested in the games. God help you if you're at either end of a row as the posers arrive up to ten minutes late and go out to order drink ten minutes before half time and full time.

the idea of bringing them up there was so they cud say they where in the premium level for a game. anyway think we`ll head to the stand. thanks for all the replys.

You're probably better off waiting until a Sunday match up4sam. You can treat the kids to a good Sunday Roast and decent seats at the same time. It'd be more enjoyable for the kids, better atmosphere.

Regular folks just dont get the story with corporate tickets!!
The operative word is not 'ticket'.....the operative word is 'CORPORATE'!!!
That implies corporate behaviour, corporate courtesy, corporate responsibility and corporate dealings with those around you!
You cannot behave the same way in the box as you might in the stand.
To this end, the golden rule for a corporate box ticket holder is to not give away the ticket to 'any aul person' as you cannot account for them or their actions and you may well be puting them beside an important client.
Your client will not be impressed that they have been put beside an ordinary person! They are there to network and be softened an sweet talked into further business dealings or there as a 'thank you, now please give us more work' day out. The client is there to be treated and made feel like they are being treated special!......not to have "C'mon Kerry" roared into their ear every two seconds by a lad with tomato sauce slobbered on his trowser leg and Guiness stains on his jersey!!!!

Get with the reality of Corporate tickets lads!......The game is secondary to the business to be done!!!.......Nobody who knows the business world will deny that either, so you aint shocking anyone!!

Premium Level is different to the Corporate Level.

Premium seats are open-air, unlike the box seats that you are referring to. Any time that I have been in the premium section, most people there have been watching the game, though the atmosphere is not as good as in other parts of the ground.

It is a great experience if you can afford it. I was in the Premium Levl for the 2003 All Ireland semi final between Armagh and Donegal and enjoyed it immensely (Donegal threw that game away). The lift straight up to Premium Level and a long bar with no queues for a beer was great craic. It was during the good (dodgy) times though; I seem to recall squads of big red faced Donegal farmers pulling big wads of dough out all over the place.
