Not too sure if this has been covered, and no doubt there'll be a few dissenting voices however...
I think the tickets prices for single games in this are a bit of a joke. £9 in last night to see Antrim vs Queens is utter madness in the middle of January especially when you consider the fact that in a few weeks time there will be a double header at Croke involving Dublin and Tyrone (seperate games) which im told will cost 12 euro a ticket. Think whoever sets these prices, Ill assume the Ulster Council, need to have another look at the price structure.
Not only that, the people taking the money didnt really seem to have a clue either. Was told by some who asked outside what the price was for student tickets and were told full price then got up to the gate and were told £5 (which was decent, and in my opinion should have been teh price for all), however a few other fellas who went up and asked for students were charged £9
Then seen a couple of young fellas (under 16) head up in antrim tops and were told that if they werent with an adult they would be charged £2 each. They should be encouraged to go in, not told they'll have to pay otherwise they wont get in.
Myself and 3 friends, 2 foreign students and new to GAA were charged full price. Emailed the ulster council, they said there were student rates and that I should inform them of the turnstile so they can have words with the fella. But what about the extra I was charged? Close to double. No reply to my follow up email as yet...
