I'm interested in a piece of market research here.
After reading on another thread that it was £9 in to watch experimental Down play a University side tonight, I'm a bit worried that the Ulster Council have lost all grip with reality.
That almost a 30% rise on last year's £7 prices.
I stopped going last year as I was sick of paying good money to watch experimental teams not trying too hard.
Where might anyone else draw the line?
Great question? Ridiculous amount, though a highlight of my night was when a guy I went with paid 10 euro in 20 cent change. The money collector was very much unimpressed but could do f@@k all about. Will strongly consider doing it next time myself ;D
He has a valid point though. If gates continue to rise by 30% each year its going to cost 25.70( pound sign fcuked on my computer) come 2014 :o Would you pay that in HS?
Its £4 too much for the quality of fare on offer, the GAA seem intent on killing the Goose that lays the golden eggs

It's the Golden Goose not the goose that lays the golden eggs :-\ ffs
Is £9 a ridiculous amount of money? I might go out and rob a cash machine tonight to pay for Wednesdays game. ::) Some people aren't happy unless they have something to complain about, if it wasn't the admission price it would be the weather.

Admission to the McKenna cup was 7 quid for this last 2 or 3 years so, as hungry as the Ulster Council are, I don't think it will rise 30% a year.
Jaysis, there'll be some crying some crying done if admission to the league is £13 or £14 in sterling and they* aren't getting subsidised against the Euro this year again

Why are these glorified friendlies taken so bloody seriously, it is a joke that they have a sponsor. f**k me the bookies even give odds on them, on friendlies !

That aint the issue for me. Its the dramatic hike in price when in the middle of a recession. GAA can't do anything about the weather but the ridiculous price is something they can control. Though I will be there on Wednesday night, ya cant be a few pints and a bita bitching ;D
QuoteIs £9 a ridiculous amount of money?
This is why I'm asking the question.
Personally, I think £9 to watch a game between experimental teams, in which the result is no importance, is at least £4 too steep.
I reckon it's a surefire way of turning anyone other than the hardcore away from returning. And once bitten, twice shy.
The question will no doubt arise "sure what does nine quid get you these days?". The problem is that the same statement can be used for ten quid, twenty quid, fifty quic, and so on. And as long as the GAA are aware of this, and people are saying this, then you'll only end up handing more money than ever to them.
But until there's a notable effect on attendances, I'll put my hands up and admit I'm probably wrong (and therefore tightfisted).
£9 is a joke for this type of fare. Is anyone surprised the arm is being put in?

How many were at tonight's game? three or four thousand maybe? Obviously those who went tonight didn't think £9 was too much. Also it was free for under 16s.
I am sure there was a decent crowd in Crossmaglen this afternoon as well so obviously the paying public don't think the admission fee is too strong.
Attendances at the next games will tell a better tale though Trevor Hill. Not too many will turn around and drive back the length of the county without watching, for the sake of 2 quid. But it might be enough to stop some of them returning.
Down vs Armagh with its local rivalry and new management stories would skewer any threories or statistics though.
just one more thing on this.
In 2006 it was £5 into McKenna Cup games. I know this because I gave a steward a mouthful in Downpatrick in 2007 about the price rise to £7.
That represents an 80% price rise in 5 years.
I'd love to know how much the average wage has risen during the same time, then for someone to try to explain to me why these factors can operate on hugely independent scales.

I'd pay £15 to be in Casement tomorrow. I am the godfather of a child being christened tomorrow. Is anyone prepared to stand in for me, for 6 quid?
heaven help he/she !!
I thought £9 was a ridculous amount to pay last night especially for a student paying in towatch a student team participating!! As was the case last year also there was a different rate for OAP's of £5, but yet there are no concessions for students!! The Ulster Council really do need to have a look at their pricing structure for such mediocre friendlies!
Woobler - correct on all counts. £9 to see such a game is too steep. £5 is plenty for these games.
The programme was good value for £1 though.
How do we go about taking the ulster council to task about admission prices? could it be put onto the agenda for the ulster convention by the clubs?
f**k me 9 quid in to a glorified friendly is some joke. At least 4 quid too much. - what price are the leagues going to be btw?
Just watch prices for all competitions go through the roof when the GAA loses the rental income from Croke Park.
My 75 euro season ticket which grants access to all seven league games (and probably the final itself) and the first championship game looks like really good value now! ;D

Done the same at UUJ V Armagh yeaterday myself and money collector at turnstyle asked me what the f**k is this? hell slap it up them. I was at turnstlye in Newry last night with two teenage students and they took full £9 off them. Thats totally wrong and does not encourage young fans to attend.
What you have to understand is that the Ulster Provincial Council treats patrons with contempt. Last year they allocated the worst possible quality tickets to season ticket holders in Armagh and Tyrone for the Championship game in Clones, whereas in all other provinces season ticket holders got the best quality tickets

I'm 17 now and try to pull the u16. I dont look very old. Still wanted £9 off me. It was a fiver OAP/Student.
Personally feel £9 was too much,we drove length of county to get and then charged £9 in.£5 is fair enough,lets face it the GAA arent doin anything to attract fans back,overpriced,freezing etc.. Its more the diehards who go to Mckenna cup games and the GAA seem out to piss them off.
Maybe they should offer 3 games for a score or something to make it more attractive to the people who wouldnt mind attending all 3 games.
But, all teams a fan needs £27 to follow, then a further £18 for semi and final.
£45. Same as an All Ireland Semi Final ticket.

There was definitely no student rate. I'm not sure that the price would put me off going to Armagh matches but I'd say I'd probably have taken a run into Newry for the QUB v Down match last night only for the price. Didn't fancy spending €20 on admission fees for 2 McKenna cup matches.
The one thing I will say about the Ulster Council is that there is surely a bit of fat that could be cut from their running costs to avoid the need for extortionate admissions. For example, all club officers in Armagh had a training day last Saturday run by the Ulster Council (I think all counties will be having something similar). Now it was a very well run, informative and useful morning but it really didn't need to be held in a plush hotel with a 3 course lunch provided. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my nice meal but realistically everybody there would have been more than satisfied with cheaper accomodation in a hall with a few rooms somewhere so long as it was properly heated with a few sandwiches and sausage rolls and that for lunch. I'm not sure how much the occasion would have cost the Ulster Council but it certainly seemed like unnecessary expenditure.
Just a thought.
Maybe its a bit cynical, but its difficult not to get the impression that the Ulster Council are well aware that its only the hardcore supporter that attend these game, and that these are the same people willing to pay whatever it takes to get in, and that these people are therefore the easiest to take advantage of when you want to squeeze out an extra few pound.
As someone else has already stated, its not the way to treat the most dedicated supporters.
£9 far too much for a friendly match.

The thing is--most people wouldn't know the price untill they get to the match--you are basically forced to pay whatever they charge because if you've travelled to a game you're not going to turn round and go home when you reach the gate as they've put the price up--it' a disgrace
when i got to casement today i couldn't believe it was £9 in --i was only coming from a mile away but i still wouldnt turn round and go home --as i'd made the effort to go to the game --if you'd travelled from Derry you defo wouldnt turn round due to the price--its an absolute disgrace --no student rate --sickening.

Its the McKenna Cup, you know what you are getting before you go. Its not going to be championship pace, its not going to be hard hitting, as a lot of other posters have already said its not much more than a glorified friendly. But £9 isn't really a great deal of money in this day and age, I am sure you would pay more in to watch Larne v Newry. There were roughly 4000 at last nights game in Newry, not a bad turn out for what many class as an over priced friendly. We`ll probably have more there on Wednesday evening.

Just what I was about to say - I wouldn't pay more in to watch Larne v Newry. I wouldn't watch it if I was paid £9. And maybe the fact that nobody attends Irish League games only adds more weight to the argument that £9 is too much.
But yes, have to agree with the general feeling - £9 is ridiculous and unnecessary.
One improvement this year is that the programmes have numbers against players. Also good that it was only £1.
With regard to the sponsor, how much money do they put in and where does it go? It definitely doesn't subsidise the admission fee.

35p per point to watch the red hands, and the ranch points thrown in for free - some value
I think the £9 admission is way too much
Thats £27 in one week to watch all 3 McKenna cup matches - madness.
The GAA are out to get the dedicated supporters - as that is the only ones attending the McKenna cup matches
Also - I don't see the logic of no student discount in the one competition that actually has university teams in it
I think thats precisely the logic of the Ulster council...
Its a disgrace - a fiver would be plenty. I was definitely heading to the QUB Antrim game on wed night (as a neutral) until I heard those prices. Just chancing their arm. And why isnt it clear before games? It happens so often that noone has any notion how much they're going to be charged in, whether theres student rate, etc.
There'll be noone at these wed night games I reckon, unless the prices are dropped. Which, incidentally, i could see happening: the Ulster council chancing their arm at the first game knowing they'll have to drop it for the rest of the games, so they appear to be charitable...
£5/£6 is loads to watch counties try out new players, in bad weather, in a semi-competitive comp lads :-\

It seems Benny Coulter is on the same wavelength as the fans. He thinks £9 is too much. Just read his coulmn in the Newry Democrat.
The premise of this thread is a load of bollocks. It was £9 last year as well.

In todays Gaelic Life page 3 Ulster PRO Michael Hasson says only one complaint was made about admission prices.
Is somebody pi**ing down my back or am I sweating? >:(
I'll say it again - why would you start complaining about £9 in 2010 when it was £9 in 2009?
If Ulster PRO says no one complained, then i suggest we all do.
I am just after logging onto Ulster GAA website and sending them a complaint via e mail.
I suggest everyone does the same.
Seriously can anyone explain to me why are we being charged £9 to watch a university team.
just sent a emai myself

How do the finances stack up for the McKenna Cup? How much does it actually cost to stage a game (given that the majority of preparation time is voluntary)? Does the sponsor not contribute cash to the running of it? What is the basis for charging £9? What is the admission for the other pre-season competitions?
Sheehy, I've noticed your posts on this board for a long time and a common theme runs through all of them which is generally the boogey men in Ulster, and particularly, Tyrone. Seems to be an awful sore point with you for some reason. Have there been recent traumas in Kerry inflicted by Tyrone or something?? Surely you should see a councillor perhaps? Or at least get some silicone/No More Gaps to fill in that gaping big chip in your shoulder? Whatever hurt Tyrone put you through, you must move on.

Exactly--if it's a fiver down there it can be a fiver up here too.
I'm a student and was digusted there was no student rate
In the Gaelic Life Hasson dodged the question about student rates--he didnt even answer or explain the reason
£9 is simply too much be it for a student or normal paying punter--only a copule of year ago it was £9 into Casement for championship matches --it might actually still be

Or at least get some silicone/No More Gaps to fill in that gaping big chip in your shoulder? Whatever hurt Tyrone put you through, you must move on.
Its the crimes against football that I find so hurtful. It is a tragedy that players like Mick O'Connell and Dara O'Se will no longer prosper in the game of Gaelic football. Thank god we rescued Kieran Donaghy from ye. He'd probably be a goalkeeper if he grew up in Tyrone.
Oh it's possible he would be alrite. And we'd still bate yis. Of course we can do without him anyway, we already have enough quality men on the bench. And besides if he's that important, ye will be needing two of him to some day have any hope of beatin Tyrone!

You have my vote on that one Nally!
For those who dont have season tickets it was €15 into Newbridge yesterday. The stand was like a barn with very few seats and there were very very limited toilets facilities available. If £9 is too much for admission into Newry, with a decent stand and ample toilets then surely €15 is way too much considering the lack of facilities into Newbridge.
