Ulster Council to introduce McKenna Cup ticket scheme
17 November 2011
Ulster Council secretary Danny Murphy is hoping tonight's Management Committee meeting will give the green light to a new season ticket scheme for next year's Dr McKenna Cup.
Murphy, who has been involved in drafting the proposal, believes the scheme will provide savings for supporters who attend most, if not all, of their county's matches in the pre-season competition. It's understood that the ticket will cost between £20 and £25. Admission to last season's McKenna Cup games cost £10 alone, meaning a supporter could save up to £30 if his or her county reaches the final.
"We are looking at one ticket that will cover the three group games, the semi-final and the finals. A supporter would get five games for one purchase," Murphy told the Irish News.
The proposal is along the same lines as the GAA's season ticket, which covers National League and championship games, and is aimed at rewarding loyal supporters.
Meanwhile, the draw for the 2012 Dr McKenna Cup will take place tonight. Each county will be guaranteed at least three group games with semi-finals and a final also due to take place before the start of the National League in early February.

Seems like very poor PR from the Ulster Council.

So you'll only really get value if your county goes all the way to the final.
Still crazy prices considering the season ticket for 7 league games and 1 championship game is €75!

Forget the schemes for the McKenna Cup. Make all tickets £5 with £3 concession and children in free.

No idea, havent really noticed any coverage. A lad from my home club plays with Maynooth and they are in the league final against Carlow, both of whom beat big guns DCU and UCD. A change in the gaurd maybe.
I do enjoy the colleges being in the pre season cups like the mckenna cup, it adds a different demension to the thing.
