How many does the Hill hold ?


Can we now assume there'll be 70+ in Croker on Sunday ?

The stand tickets must be well gone by now ?

Moot points as the option of cheaper entrance fees should be there - end of story. Surely you agree that this is a decision taken in regards to money and little else?  Is there not more to the association than maximising profit? 

Well the hill is opened now so I guess your maximising profit argument is out the window now or are they still maximising profit?

I wish I could say 'credit where credit's due', but why should there be credit given for doing something that should be done as par for the course? 

Spot on.

Little altruism in the opening of the hill then, purely financial.

Not much use to those who have already grudgingly forked out 45 Euro for the only available tickets before today. This is a real scandal, and deserves an e-mail campaign to bombard gaa.ie with protests.

And how do you think these emails might be received ?

No one is going to come on here and apologise now are they ?

Incidentally I think euro45 is great value for two senior all ireland semi finals and a minor one.

And dont ye wexford lads be giving out, ye've had years to save for this year 

[Tyrone Dreamer]

As a Tyrone supporter Im just glad to be able to go and watch our minors and seniors play in the All Ireland Semi's. €45 might be dear enough but with 2 All Ireland semi's thrown in its not bad value. Considering many Tyrone "fans" havent been to a game all year they should be able to afford it. I take it those who said earlier that they would have went if the cheaper tickets were available are now going?

[Doohicky]

That really does my head in. This will be the third match I get to this year, and I would have been to them all if circumstances had been different, but when it comes to the final I know, like in the previous 2 times, I'll not be able to get a ticket while others who haven't went the entire year are able to.

I would agree there your holiness, bargain of the year I'd say.

Yeah but €30 to watch it from the hill is great value too, that option should always be there.
