Title: AI Final Ticket Swap
Post by: Low and Hard on September 12, 2017, 11:27:12 AM
I'm a Derry man going down for our minors on Sunday. I've got 2x hill tickets, wondering does any Dub have 2 seated and want to swap (I'll pay the difference too)?

Does anyone know where the Nally Terrace stops and the Hill begins?

I'm pretty sure the bit on front (and to the left towards the hogan) of the big screen is the Nally terrace. Anything to the Right of the big screen is definitely the hill.

Nally terrace is probably the worst spot in the stadium, but it's better than being outside the ground!!

The Nally is not that bad - as well as the bit in front of the screen you also have the corner to the side of the screen, and it goes up a good height. Theres a decent view from pretty much anywhere in there

You are right. Nally starts at hogan stand and goes to just under the big screen.

Yes. At the fence. You can't pass through from one to the other.  Fence is at the hogan side of the goals.

I was seated in front row of Upper Hogan in the section closest to Nally Stand at the Hurling Final and watched what seemed a concerted effort to stop fans moving from Nally to Hill terracing. There is a fence exactly where others have described and a line of stewards were constantly there and turned back plenty who seemed to be trying to move. For what it's worth I thought the Nally looked a reasonable place to watch from especially if you moved right towards the Hogan, it seemed much less crowded than the Hill

Was in the Nally for the 2013 final. Dublin fans jumped the fence from the Nally into the Hill at their leisure. Some were even helped by Stewarts.

The front few rows of the Davin are prob the worst seats in the house. You would be much better in the nally terrace

Any tips on buying a ticket from a tout on Sunday? Where's the best place to go or how do you make sure it's a genuine ticket?

My usual source for an AI ticket doesn't look likely this year.

Ask passing supporters at the top of Clonliffe, it might take a while but you'll pick up tickets there at face value instead of dealing with tout scum

You look like the type that would sell your tickets for magic beans
Does your guardian actually let you out alone?

On the day Gills Corner or top of Clonliffe on the Ballybough end where many dubs come in.
You can be lucky with Gaffneys of Fairview but it woukd be a Dubs ticket.coukd

I've been lucky twice in Kennedy's pub in Drumcondra and I know several others who managed to get tickets at face value in Fagan's a few doors away.

Oh no you wont, I was around for the hurling , hundreds of people loooking in the usual spots , I got down to the hotel  and wow the place was wedged for the actual game . Lots of supporters who had gone to games all year from the few I spoke to, one woman from.balinasloe was in some state .

Something will be done in the years ahead because the dubs are starting to make noise about it , Id predict their hand will be forced to open up season ticket sales for Dublin and Mayo , increase the quota .

I doubt it . more likely to finish the scheme altogether .
I cant really understand why  but there is obviously  strong opposition to it some where . they way they keep raising the price even though on the door ticket prices have not changed in years in fact when the scheme began it was €17 for a league game now if you buy the day before its a tenner .

Did I read somewhere some County Boards were complaining that season tickets were reducing their NFL receipts?
Unless your team reaches the AI Final it's hardly worth getting them any more.

You'll not find touts, and if you do they are probably fake tickets...

tickets cannot be bought on ticketmaster or other outlets, they are given out to the county boards and on to the clubs, if anyone is caught selling tickets above the face value you should get a receipt number and forward it on to the county involved and have their future allocation monitored, or dropped

To be fair I've never seen ticket touts at the finals

There's always going to be a black market. The choice facing ligit ticket sellers is-
Do you let the criminals control and profit from it or do you get your cut too?

Shouldn't be €42. Unless some counties add a fee.

There were hardly any tickets available on the day for the hurling. For face value anyway. Some touts might have had a few for well over the odds alright. Saw scores of fans with signs out looking for a ticket. Way more than I've seen for any other final I've been to.

There was little interest from the rest of the hurling fraternity in yet another Tipp/KK battle whereas the novelty pairing of Waterford and Galway not only drew big interest from the counties involved but in other counties as well.
