It could be worse. One problem now is that accommodation is expensive and hard to get. The Ulster winners are away to Cork on the June bank holiday weekend when there isn't an hotel room left in the place. It a fair oul drive from Armagh and a serious one from Donegal. The Ulster runners up get to go to Derry which might be a hard game but is less travel time for fans from DOnegal or Armagh.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

That Cork game is badly planned. Think someone was saying theres a few different events etc on in Cork that weekend so everywhere is booked out or extortionate.

Thee wasn't even a whole lot of accommodation in Cork at the league game in March, which was the weekend between Paddy's day and Easter and probably not the peak of the year.

Would took 3:30pm on a Sunday instead a late Saturday  time. A pair of them games should be put on a Sunday.

Connacht are playing their final home game against Stormers in Galway on Saturday evening.. Kick-off: 5.05pm.

Traffic will be mental and there will be few places to stay!

I see the GAA have launched series tickets today ... 50 euro for 3 games, but strangely, only Dublin have the option of juvenile tickets at 15 euro for 3 games ... I assume they will correct this and make juvenile tickets available to all counties.

It was 25 euro per game last year with no package option at least they have used a bit of common sense this year.

Decent value

Yes, they've corrected it this afternoon, yes good value indeed.

Package Released today, why not when the tickets went on sale the other day. I got my ticket and another already.Useless disorganised bollacks as always.
