I presume you'll get €5 reduction per game if you're team is involved?
I see they have cut price package tickets on sale for the 2 sets of super 8 games in Croker and the 2 AI Semis.

No, in round four the CCCC have control of fixture setting. I'd say you'll get two out of the four in neutral venues and the two fixtures with the biggest following in a Croker double. Especially after this weeks fiasco.

Michael Buble in Croke Park on SAT 7th so does that rule that out?

There you are, four neutral venues the likely option.

A concert the week before the start of the super 8. How has Croker stood up to games in the week following a concert previously?
I'm struggling to remember.

Another reason why HQ are so desperate for this weekends double bill to take place given they'll miss out in R4.

I thought he hurt the ankle?

Donegal twitter confirmed it was the ACL he tore and is out for the season. Awful news for a lad that was showing his best form for the first time ever really. Probably the player of the year so far.

They wouldn't have scheduled the concert that weekend if they were all that worried about R4. They make an absolute mint off those concerts, probably far more than what 25k in Croker for two R4 matches would net.

Now that the 4Cs have egg on their faces they will probably be reticent about pulling home venues from anyone in the Super 8s.
Galway and Kerry will be ok with their capacities while Dublin no doubt can use Croke Park  ::).
Ballybofey might be deemed a problem if Donegal's home game turns out to be Mayo or Tyrone.
