Renewals for the 2016 Season Ticket will be open soon. Notification e-mail arrived earlier this morning.

***PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL BE CONTACTING ALL 2015 GAA SEASON TICKET HOLDERS NEXT WEEK REGARDING RENEWALS FOR 2016. DETAILS ARE CURRENTLY BEING FINALISED***

Le Meas,

GAA Ticket Office

(Mayo & Dublin season tickets will be open for renewals only. As they are both sold out, there will not be any new season tickets sold)

Pity the Mayo ones have sold out.

Got that email and a €5 off the International Rules ticket.

I'm nearly sure season ticket holders had the option of free tickets for the international rules last time in Croker? 2013 I think? I'm nearly sure I send them onto someone to use.

I'm sure we were given the option of applying for free tickets through our season ticket account.

I tried to renew my tickets there today, comes up error.

Got one for the Aussi rules, mentioned it in that. I just went into my account to check. I'd say they are only setting them up, probably ready in a day or 2.

€99 to renew this year, was €85 last year and €75 the year before IIRC. Not as attractive as it once was.

Definitely not as attractive as it once was but the €75 was great value and the GAA are now getting a few euros more.

The convenience and guaranteed fairly decent seats is another plus.

€99 to renew me own and juveniles have doubled in price to €20.

You'd want to tell that to connacht council  >:(

I wonder are NFL admission prices going up?
If not then the ST isn't much value .
7 €10 Super Value buy in advance tickets plus € 25 for 1st Championship game is cheaper than the ST.

- All your County's Allianz League round matches plus all League semi finals, play-offs and finals in that code
- Your County's opening Championship fixture
- All Allianz League round matches in your selected code. So if you have a Longford Football Season Ticket you can go to any Allianz League Football match.
- AIB GAA Club All-Ireland Finals in Croke Park on St. Patrick's Day.
- €5 off the rest of your county's Championship games

Guaranteed fairly decent seats really only applies to Croke Park and all ticket games, everywhere else is first come, first served. Usually in the middle of Cusack but if you want to bring a friend you get shunted down to the 21. Can be a lottery in other grounds as to where you will end up.

How long does the renewal stay open for , not really in a position this week to renew?

see the club+ has taken a fair increase!!!!think paid about E130 last year for all now E200!!!

Why are only some counties offering the Club+ option. My own county Cavan are not offering it!

I'd say you'll be safe enough for a couple of weeks. With no "early bird" option this year it will probably be open to renew till January.

Cheers Mick .

Tbh if I didn't have a juvenile to get and I didn't think there was any chance of a final appearance I wouldn't bother as I'd always get a final ticket but looking for two or more now can prove a task esp if it was the jacks we were facing .

That's not to say I'm thinking we are a good bet for the final btw but it's not beyond reason to think we might either.

That's true Rossfan. €99 is a bit much to be fair. Initally it was setting out as a 'reward for loyal supporters'. I'll probably still renew mine. For this year anyway. If it continues to go up in price then I'll have to think twice about it.

Exactly and invariably something comes up during the year and you miss a game so it's value is lost.

The Mayo Season Ticket option unavailable again, only €200 option of Club +. This looks like  a sweetheart deal between County Board and Croke Park to extract the maximum amount of money from Mayo Supporters. They are saying that the full allocation of season tickets has been taken for Mayo, in reality Club + means exactly the same thing to Croke Park only €101 extra. This suits both parties as the debt on McHale Park needs to be repaid to Croke Park. When Mayo people don't renew their season tickets how come these season tickets are not made available.

It is another sell out from our County Board simple as.

With early away trips to both Cork and Kerry  - can't see me doing all 7 next year- so that's €85 if I bought on a match by match basis.
I suppose we'll hardly make the League Semis and Final  :-\

Cairde Mhaigh Eo under a different guise methinks.

Why isn't there a National League only Season Ticket available?

25% increase in price in two years is a bit much,then again you can go to any NFL game (if you're young and free!) and you don't have to run around hunting tickets for a big Championship game.

Croke Park games are very favourable locations plus you don't have to worry about looking for tickets.

Where does it say on the email about an all Ireland ticket if your county qualifies.


- All your County's Allianz League round matches plus all League semi finals, play-offs and finals in that code
- Your County's opening Championship fixture
- All Allianz League round matches in your selected code. So if you have a Longford Football Season Ticket you can go to any Allianz League Football match.

I sent them a strong worded email. I wonder if they will reply in kind.

Am a season tickrt holder since its inception in 2008.
The greed of this increase is unacceptable by the GAA.
33% increase on the season ticket from 2014 to 2016. (75 to 99)
50% increase on club+ in last year (135 to 200)
100% increase on juvenile in last year (10 to 20). Juveniles are free into nfl game. The only advantage of them is that they can sit with an adult.

No justification given from gaa for the increase.

Croke park now only interested in the 2k season tickets each for kerrys/dublin/mayo where they know they will sell regardless as decent chance of reaching AI final and securing tickets through ST are certain.

All counties with little chance of getting to AI final needn't bother with this scheme now. Seems celtic tiger part 2 has gotten a hold of some financers working in D2.  Think I'll be swerving it which is a pity. Yet again its another occasion Croke Park loses touch with its supporters.

Never mind the GPA we will be needing a Gaelic Supporters Association soon. Croke Park need to remember that without supporters there will be no sponsors, no players, no need for officials in Croke Park, no fancy trips to Australia etc.

It's not only that Dublin, Kerry, Mayo have a good chance of getting to an AI final, it's also that they dominate their province and therefore fans will know months in advance when and where the games will be.

Take a county like Wexford. Maybe dumped into the first round of qualifiers, play Antrim away. If they win, next week Leitrim away, then Sligo away, Derry away etc. Big journeys that costs the average fan a fortune. They'll maybe have 2 or 3 days to organise the trip, time off, hotels. Any team that gets a good run in the back door, face 5 or 6 games week in week out. That's a hell of an expense. That's not good enough. And if a fan can't travel for these spur of the moment games they're still charged for them. Where's the attraction in that?

In fairness to the GAA I think they have us spoilt with cheap admission prices in general .

How does the working class man across the water do it week in week out ?

To be fair Benny, you do get one opt out and a fiver off the championship tickets.

Why wouldn't you go though ? A supporter who follows his/her county should go to all games where possible , how many games does a senior county team have in a year , league and championship , let's leave out the semis and final as most counties won't get that far obviously ? 12 average be fair estimate ?

As I said, it's the quick turnaround of games. 2 or 3 days to arrange time off work, hotels, etc. My own county, we could be in Limerick one week, Waterford next, Wexford next. That's a lot of expense in a short time and most people just can't afford that. Taking a family to a game is expensive without having to throw in a hotel, meals, and a 600 mile round trip.

Mayo's fixtures are virtually set in stone these days and well spaced out so it's easier to do. Kerry, Dublin likewise. Hence the huge uptake of ST in those counties

Ahh sorry pal I took you out of context there , yes I can see your point but is that not more to do with a county being good enough to go route one . Unless they came up with alt packages to suit maybe.

Yes I suppose the fact Armagh aren't as good these days is an issue, but it's the same for most struggling counties.

Tyrone sat twiddling their thumbs for 5 weeks after Donegal, then right, you're heading to god knows where in 5 days time. Fans and players treated like crap. That's not good enough.

The season ticket is a good idea but it doesn't suit with the current championship format. Matches need to be set months in advance, and spaced out so teams and fans can arrange things.

Your're right there Benny. We've been spoilt here as Mayo fans the last 4/5 years. I have our opening championship match in London next May booked 3 weeks ago! (hope it doesn't change date  ??? )

Its the 29th, bank holiday over there. There was supposed to be the official reopening of the new development of Ruislip when we were there. Don't know why or what happened but it hasn't even begun construction from what I'm hearing. Would hardly be started now as it wouldn't be finished in time. (hotels are mad fecking dear there compared to last time  >:( )

Yes that is correct.  If you sign up for the club + option and your county quality for the All Ireland Final you are guaranteed a ticket and it wouldn't be reliant on your attendance.  Although I don't know how it changes anything.  If you buy a season ticket surely it is your intention to attend a high percentage of your counties fixtures.

is it just the club + tickets that don't factor in attendance.

I agree that if you spend €95 most people will intend going to a lot of the matches, but it goes back to the old system of not rewarding the people who go to the games all season.

Wealthy people who can afford it, can just pay the money for the season ticket, go to no match all year and turn up for the all ireland!

In effect, this means that you can pay approximately €250 (€95 plus estimated 5 matches @ €30) to have the option to buy an all ireland ticket if your county reaches it, even if you go to no match all year!

I think we should be rewarding people who go to matches.

You have to attend 60% of the games to be able to get an all ireland ticket

When the cairde ticket came out here in Mayo 2013, you did not have attendance recorded. They changed last year where they had to be scanned same as croke park tickets and had to attend 60%

Yes, that is correct. Plus, their ticket remains same price, ours go up from €85 to €99 and our Juveniles are being rightly ripped off by their tickets doubling in price to €20.

Seems they want rid of us, must be sick of the sight of us since 2009.

I see moving the Dubs' game against Laois/Wicklow to Nowlan Park is to be considered.

How many season tickets do the Dubs have any how would this work with a lower overall capacity?

There is a limit on the no of Season tickets a County can have. Dublin and Mayowr have the max - is it 5,000?
There are 17,000 seats in Nowlan Park it seems.

I have heard the number 5,000 bandied about, but add in the Parnell pass for Dublin fans as well, Cairde Mhaigh Eo for our fans, and there's more again I'm sure.

2,500 croke park season tickets and I think 1,200 renewed their Cairde tickets this year. There are more Dublin tickets than that, Croke Park 2,500, Hill 16 ? and Parnell Pass?

Would anybody know of anyone not signing up to their Croke Park Mayo season ticket could they let me know as I would be interested in it.

Don't waste your money Sean. There won't be much of them seen in Croke Park next year!!

There was a waiting list for the last few years too mick. It'll take a downturn in fortunes for it to move.

Don't waste your money Sean. There won't be much of them seen in Croke Park next year!!

I don't think I have ever seen and heard so much excitement in Roscommon at the prospect of a demise in Mayo. Ye could be in for an awful dose of reality before the summer has even started  but yet your focus will still be on how Mayo are doing. Inferiority complex much?

No inferiority complex. Jasis how could anyone be inferior to ye lot :o

In fairness to yourself , there's a bit of humour to your Mayo stuff . It's the WANs who are deluded beyond belief that are annoying.

Sure ya'd have to have a biteen of humour.

Reminder to renew your season ticket before the deadline on the 30th November.
http://mayoclub51.com/mayo-gaa-seaso...season-ticket/

If any Mayo GAA  season tickets are not renewed before the 30th of November, they will be released for sale to the Mayo season ticket waiting list at a base price of  €99 for adults.  Juvenile season tickets have doubled in price this year, from €10 up to €20.

Whats the story with the cairde tickets this year. None on sale at all?

Limited number of Mayo season tickets back on sale this morning. The Croke Park €99 ones sold out in minutes for both Mayo and Dublin. Only €200 ones left for Mayo.

Did anyone here from Mayo put their name down on the waiting list for season ticket? Were you contacted?

I put my name on the list to buy a junior Mayo one for the young lad, I got an email from them yesterday to say they would be available at 10am today, they were available as promised. I found the Season Ticket office very helpful.

Yeah, it seems that anyone that put their name down on the waiting list were contacted and given the heads up of the tickets being released at 10am.

Season Ticket Deliveries Update:

All purchases prior to midnight on Friday 4th December 2015 will be posted the week commencing December 14th. Purchases after Friday 4th December will be produced and dispatched in January 2016.

2016 could be a big year for Mayo so good timing.

The reason for the increase given by Croke Park was to "maximise the return for county boards". They replied to someone that the league match prices would be increasing and that they would be charging for juveniles in 2016, that's why they were doubling the price of juvenile season tickets.

So, with ticket prices remaining at €10 for league match's and juveniles continuing to be free, will they return the extra money charged for this years season tickets?  >:(

Agree totally. They are taking advantage of the loyal fans. For Mayo, Dublin etc. there may be a bonus in that you can be guaranteed a ticket for matches as your county progresses through provincial and All Ireland series. For those of us from weaker counties that is unlikely to be a benefit.

Sadly what is a good idea in theory is losing its appeal.

Spot on. This will be first year I won't be getting one. With long trips to Limerick, Ennis and Sligo it's doubtful if I'll make all 7. Would only be worthwhile if Westmeath were guaranteed to make the league final. 33% increase in 2 years is taking the piss.

Appalling increase alright.
Was it a case of " shit! This has got too popular. It's limiting the amount of AI tickets we can give to Corporates"

Renewed mine in November! Didn't get the club add on. Last year an Armagh Club add on was €40. Up to €101 this year!

Come to think of it the odds are that Armagh will only have 7 league games. Assuming championship matches are the same price as last year if I go to all league games and Armagh lose to Cavan and in the first round of the qualifiers and I did not buy a season ticket the cost of admission would be:

7 matches at €10  = €70   (advanced purchase price)
Cavan match         =€25
Qualifier match.     =€10

Total cost.              =€105

With season ticket €99 plus qualifier €5 (with discount). Total cost €104.


The season ticket would have saved me €1!

Now considering I got a juvenile one for €20 and will probably only be one match charge of €5 by being a loyal supporter of a crap team I have cost myself €14!


Is it too late to complain or ask for a refund? :(

You can go to support Cross' in the AI club final, if Jamie does the business in the semi.

Are qualifier matches not €15?

John Fogarty referenced this in his column yesterday. http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/columnists/john-fogarty/john-fogarty-time-for-gaa-to-revalue-loyalty-375685.html (http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/columnists/john-fogarty/john-fogarty-time-for-gaa-to-revalue-loyalty-375685.html) He has a good point on where the quality seating tickets are sold through as well. That was another thing that bugged me about the season ticket, if you wanted to bring a friend you were thrown down the end of the stand in Croke Park.

Were the 1st round games €10 last year?

As far as I know.

When they speak of loyalty would it not be easy enough to make it known that only club members can get adult season tickets from next year. Then reduce the price of the season ticket a bit. That would award loyal fans and keep clubs happy.

Last 15 minutes of a game that was over 15 minutes before that and you would have got in for free at that stage anyway. I'd say that was enjoyable. And some one else got the worth out of the Kerry/Dublin game. So really you only got to value of the game you bought the Ticket for.

Obviously not the steward's fault but it was a disgrace that there was no back up scanner available & no despite my Northern accent I was not hurling abuse.  I am surprised that he felt the need to go to the press with this though, if I was a cynical Nordie I'd see it as an opportunity to get at our lot  ;)

Should have just sent them to the back of the queue or refused them admission.

These scanner delays are common and intolerable. Any smartphone should be able to read a bar code in this day and age and there should be backups available.

I arrived about 15 minutes before throw in - later than usual - and did not get in until just before throw in. There was still quite a few in the queue behind me. I didn't hear any abuse but once the whistle went i am sure there were people getting frustrated. NO excuse obviously.

I also remember the last match i was at in Navan there was quite a queue at the season ticket turnstile.

In athletic Grounds during the week the match was delayed to allow people in. That should have been considered.

Don't see the need to scan these tickets if the scanner breaks down. Scanning them is only relevant if the team is to reach the AI final for attendance records. That's not gong to happen for either Armagh or Meath this year

Well, if they announced that Meath and Armagh tickets would not be scanned because they were both losers then that might cause a row too and isn't there a couple of AI tickets raffled among full attenders in any case.

The country is full of phone and tablets and things that could scan, they just need an app.

There is indeed, everyone with 100% attendance gets intered into a draw for final tickets.

We've had loads of problems with scanners over the last couple of years. Before they introduced self scanning at MacHale park, they had posters up inside the gates. Idea was you had to scan the Q code on the poster and it brought you to a webpage where you ticked a box (anseo!) If I remember correctly, thats what it was, think you had to type in your season ticket card number too. That was the only tme that was trialled. most people didn't even know about it, a lot had'nt smart phones. At least they were trying I suppose! Self scanning seems to work fine, its supposed to be linked directly to Croke Park, same as when you enter Cusack, your attendance is updated straight away.

The hand held scanners seem to be a bit of a joke. I was at a league game in Killarney a couple of years ago. There was a lad with a loud speaker, telling ST holders to contact Croke Park themselves to confirm their attendance. The lad who was bringing the scanners down from Croke Park, hadn't arrived yet, as he was stuck in traffic in Adare.  ::)

Typical Freestaters blaming everything on the Northerners!

I can see the Meath Scanning machine becoming as famous as the Roscommon bus! 😂😂😂.Must say I was a bit late arriving into the ground in Navan myself last week,but was not unduly delayed gaining access and having my card scanned.

Anyone here with season tickets not updated for the Mayo v Dublin match?

I wasn't there and couldn't give my card to anyone, but to me; the self-scanning might be the cause of it.

2 out of our 6 cards have not been updated.  2 of us went through a different booth to the other 4.  The machine beeped, said enter and everything appeared to work normally.  I have a feeling that there must have been a problem from at least one of the scanning machines.  I hope that they sort it out fast.

Donegal v Mayo match attendance from yesterday updated super quick this week. Updated before noon this morning! Make sure to check your's is updated.

Interesting about the 40 seconds at the stile and the *beam*. This could be what was causing all the season tickets not being recorded correctly at the Mayo v Dublin match?

Allianz Leagues GAA Football 2016 Round 5 Mayo v Kerry - SELF SCANNING SYSTEM
ST Account:
A Chara,
Round 5 of the 2016 Allianz Football Leagues take place this weekend.
The self-scanning automated scanning system will again be in place at turnstiles 1-8 at Elverys McHale Park this Saturday for Mayo v Kerry. This system will give you the Season Ticket holder greater control over scanning your season ticket and therefore the tracking of your attendance for all relevant fixtures at Elverys McHale Park. In order for entry to the stadium to operate smoothly on Sunday please note the following:

    Please arrive early. Due to the Mayo v Wicklow Allianz Hurling League fixture taking place at 12:45 Season Ticket turnstiles (1-8) will be open earlier than normal at 12 noon.
    Please have your season card ready when approaching the turnstiles
    Please cooperate with the stewards at the Season Ticket turnstiles

PLEASE SEE BELOW IMAGES AND DESCRIPTION OF THE SCANNING SYSTEM AND NOTE THAT THE FOLLOWING STEPS WHICH SHOULD BE FOLLOWED:

    One person enters the self scan stile and presents one card under the scanner.
    If the card is valid and scans successfully the person is advised to then pass through the stile by the scanning device.
    Upon exiting the stile a beam is broken thus validating the scan, recording the barcode and re-setting the scanner for the next person to repeat the same process.
    There is a 40 second time limit from the time that the scanner reads a successful scan and when the beam at the exit of the stile must be broken.
    Any attempted scanning of multiple cards by one person or any delay causing the 40 second time limit to lapse will affect the recording of a season ticket.
    Each season ticket holder must scan their own card in this manner and pass through the stiles once a successful scan is displayed on the scanning device.

ADULTS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED ENTRY USING A JUVENILE SEASON TICKET
ONLY ONE SEASON TICKET PER CUSTOMER WILL BE SCANNED AT THE TURNSTILE(S).
THE TRANSFERRING OF A GAA SEASON TICKET AT MATCH DAY VENUES IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
ANY ABUSE OF THE SEASON TICKET SYSTEM WILL LEAD TO CONFISCATION OF CARDS ON THE DAY.
Your 2016 GAA Season Ticket also covers entry to all Allianz League matches in your selected code.
Please note that the Donegal v Roscommon fixture scheduled for Letterkenny this Sunday is now an all ticket event. Due to limted capacity at this venue only 2016 Donegal and Roscommon Season Tickets will be valid.
Le meas,
GAA Ticket Office

They were all the self scanners. This *Beam* is a new one on me, and the 40 seconds! I reckon that could have been the cause of a lot of the hassle with scanning at that match. That and some people were told to go through on of the other stile "don't worry, your card will be scanned ok"

Has anyone at Cavan v Armagh had their attendance updated?

Transferring tickets at natch day venues not allowed it says.
Does that mean it's OK to give your ticket to someone as long as its not at the Ground??

I wouldn't have thought that it was this directly. Rather each punter gets one championship game "free", but many do not attend these games, so they get the first real championship game free instead. What happens if New York or London win I don't know.

Just after purchasing tickets for Mayo v London. Do kids under 12 need tickets does anyone know? Would be a curse to be standing outside the ground during the match with the kids.

In 2009 our season tickets got us into Gaelic Park free and into Ruislip in 2011 free as well. To be fair, there are a hell of a lot more season tickets ( in Mayo anyway) now, will probably be 4000 from Mayo with season tickets in Ruislip in May. In 2014 we were charged $15 I think it was, reduced from $20 on the gate with season tickets in Gaelic Park.

London GAA ticketing arrangments

This year for the first time, the fixture will be all-ticket, and tickets have now just gone on sale. Only adult tickets are available online, and according to London GAA tickets for adults, OAPs and students will be available at Ruislip on the day.

http://mayoclub51.com/quick-update-croke-park-season-ticket-scanning-attendance-problems/

For what its worth I got into a spat with the season ticket office earlier this year and got a result - eventually. My issue was strange in that the whole family have season tickets (2 adults plus kids) I share a name with one of the kids but after the first game my record was 2 out of 1 and the young lad was 0 out of 1. It was obvious (to me anyway) that something was wrong with the records but it took weeks of persistence and lots of screen shots before they eventually made the adjustment. As far as I'm concerned they fixed the underlying problem in the background after I reported it but they didn't seem to want to admit that there was a problem and they just kept saying that there was no issue, i.e. they refused to update the attendance records After I was getting nowhere for a few weeks I asked for a managers phone number and they fixed it.

My advice is to keep at it. Send emails every day. They'll get fed up and eventually see reason

Got email today regarding the season ticket for the Cavan V Armagh game on Sunday. You were always allocated a seat in the covered stand for Ulster matches. They are now saying bring your  season ticket and get it scanned. You will get entry to the open stand .Seating is unreserved. What is the point of the season ticket? Season tickets in all sports give a reason to hand over your money in advance  but seems not the GAA! 

The allocated seats for Ulster C'ship games were usually shite,as Ulster Council looked after its cronies.I contacted the Season Ticket Office about this a few years ago and got the impression the Ulster Council weren't too concerned about season ticket holders,and never really obeyed the rules.I was told that "you'll be looked after for games outside Ulster"

ive suspected for the last few years there is a growing resentment at some levels in the GAA to season ticket holder. Maybe it because of the Small savings that can be made .
More likely because they see mnay season ticket holders as not True GAA people who come in demanding the best seats .
the see them as 'FANS'  who don't train teams line pitches and make sandwiches . And for a percentage of Season tickets thats possible true Esp people living away from home . but i know for the majority that does not apply but the Season ticket is becoming less Attractive every year

Hi. Just checked my record and Saturday evenings game in Nowlan Park hasn't been updated. Maybe it takes a few days so I thought I'd check before contacting them. Has anyone else's been update/not updated?

That was well called ! Records are updated this morning  :)

Connacht council showing total disdain yet again to season ticket holders. We were emailed a week or so ago say as usual just present your card for scanning and stand is unreserved seating, we did not need to print a ticket.

When we arrived in the stand around 6, an hour before throw in, stand was already half to 3/4 full. We got seats at the far end of stand just past tunnel. Stand was filling fairly quickly. About ten to 7 two people arried at our seats and had printed tickets with section, row and seat numbers on them which they bought during the week. We were sitting in *their* seats. An argument ensued and We got thrown out of our seats. Lots of other people I was talking to after match had same problems but refused to move from their seats.

Well played connacht council, well played. Seems to me they are going out of their way to alienate season ticket holders. Total cluter****

The season ticket has really been a farce this year. It really seems they could not be bothered with it and are looking people not so renew so they can scrap it. The standard price for the club+ option and the fact buying it meant you could get an All Ireland ticket without going to another match suggests that the only loyalty rewarded is the loyalty to money. This was reenforced by the ridiculous pricing for the first round of the qualifiers and the fact that children are being charged into these matches.

Kids had to pay to our 2 games too.
Was talking to a Rhubarb season ticket holder today. He was livid over the whole thing.
Sounds like it was a total farce.

1st world problem right there. Build a bridge.

Article in the Mayo News today about the ticketing c**k up by connacht council. Are they deliberately going out of their way to alienate people? If they'd tried they couldn't have messed up as much. Worst thing is, absolutely no need for it, issue all numbered tickets for stand instead of 2,000 numbered. 4000 season tickets would be self printed too.

We've been printing out our tickets (when required) for the last 8 years?

The way tickets are allocated at the minute seems a complete mess.
What i cant understand is why ticket allocation cant go completely online, with a 'presale' for people who are members of their clubs.
When you pay your membership, you should get a  unique code that allows you access to tickets on say the tuesday/wednesday on the week of the game. after that, they go on general sale.

It would give a real incentive to be a paid up member of your club, while still allowing access to tickets to everyone.

DON V's MON game is bring you card to the game as the open seating section is where you sit. Covered seat reserved by ulster council.

Check in your season ticket online account to make sure your card is valid (ie your payment went trough) by going to my tickets and it be listed there with card/badge beside it, if its not listed then there is a problem.

from the season ticket email during the week:

Once payments have been processed you will simply be required to present your season ticket card for scanning at the designated turnstile(s) in the Open Stand. Seating is unreserved.

Anyone else get checked by a fella after they went through the turnstile on.Saturday evening? Maybe everyone was, but I thought it strange I had to show my ticket to him.

Yes, on the way into the stand. It was to stop people with terrace tickets getting access, i guess. Pointless if you think about it.

Is it just the Ulster county season ticket holders that are getting shafted?

Cavan supporters yesterday were giving off serious stink regarding the allocation - first week in the open and getting drenched and the second week still out in the open but now further down into the corner.  This perhaps to accommodate the additional ulster council tickets because of the 3 matches in Clones yesterday.

Are other provinces getting shafted with the shite selection of tickets for season ticket holders?

This is usual in Clones.

I was one of the Cavan season ticket holders who got a poor seat and got soaked the first day. The seat was so poor I coild not see one side one goal area as i was behind a Stewart who sat there with his umbrella up. I left my seat and asked to be let up on to the terrace behind the goal where i had a much better view and didnt get as wet.

For last Sundays game i opted out and bought my tickets from Breffni Park and had a much better seat at the back of the stand than I would have had through the season ticket. They certainly done seem to want people to have Season tickets!

Which Stewart were you behind? Rod?

I wrote to our County's Ulster delegate before and got no where on the standard of tickets for Season Ticket holders.

Can anyone suggest another route?  No point contacting Croke Park because they aren't responsible for the ticket allocations?

My account was not debited yesterday for the match.

My tickets are showing up in the season tickets account but still not been billed for them.

I emailed them. They replied quickly saying that money was taken out and that my card was good to go. Maybe they won't take money this time after the shambles@ 😀

Any of the Tyrone or Cavan season tickets from weekend showing as Not Attended?

The guy in our turnstile said the scanner was broken and therefore ripped piece of the bottom of the ticket and said it would be scanned later.  Its not Wednesday and still showing not attended.

Season tickets for the Ulster Final are in the Pat McGrane Stand - Central!

Will think very seriously about renewing my season ticket next season.The price rise and shite seats in Ulster show how little ST holders are valued.Besides I have better things to do with my time than traipsing round Clare and Offaly next February,and it's not like we are going to reach an All Ireland Final anytime soon

Fair weather fan!

No.We are treated like shit.

If there's another price increase, I won't renew mine either I'm afraid.

A little off topic here, and I'm opening myself up to the 'tight Cavan man' jokes but €20 into a qualifier game seems a bit steep to me, seeing as it was only €15 into the Ulster semi final.

That's fair enough, just that they have moved a season ticket holder (with a friend) out further (311) than a Johnny come lately supporter (309)! Both are general areas for sale but you are penalised for being a Season ticket holder and wanting to sit beside a friend?

Friend was on holidays abroad and lost credit card and cancelled it. Was just back for Fermanagh game and paid in at the gate. The season ticket put down as an opt out. Somewhere between that game and the Kildare the New credit card details were sorted out. No ticket appeared on webpage. Anyway,  to cut to the Chase his season ticket has been deleted from the system. No come back - gone finito. Any one with similar experience?

Heard on midwest this morning, a cairde mhaigheo ticket holder who opted out twice and their season ticket was cancelled. First we've heard of it, thought you could only opt out once?

As for credit card being lost, if payment didn't go through you would not be allocated tickets for the match. Don't know about ticket being cancelled. Can they log into their season ticket account?

Yeah you can only opt out once. But if there is no working credit card for them to debit then it's seems they treat it as two strikes and you are out.

Look, he was a bit careless. But it seems harsh that there is no come back - work around.

Its the first we've heard of an account being cancelled. No come back at all?

Thems the rules. 2 strikes and you're gone. They do ring you usually if your credit card isn't working and ask you to provide alternative payment details.

Yeah, gone and no way back. Friend is seriously put out. Says it's the end of going to matches for him.

Honestly I don't think you'll stand to this Tyrone team, think they'll win by 3 or 4. I can't lose anyway, I'm actually a Dub fan!!!!

I wonder how the tickets will be divided up between the counties on Saturday. Outside of the tickets on general sale, that are open to first come first serve, will the distributed tickets get split equally four ways or will the majority of fans be Dubs?

just printed my tickets for Saturday . vey good seats sect 304 AA, no complaints here .
though last week our tickets even though they were continuous numbers were split by an aisle . would not be good if it was a parent and child

Tickets were divided up based on demand.
All initial requests by clubs in each of the 4 counties have been met. Clubs that have since made additional requests are on a waiting list and it is hoped the majority, if not all, such requests will be met.

There may even be a few extras that go on general sale again on Thursday night / Friday morning.

Heard  from a Rhubarb acquaintance there were some on sale on line this morning.
( not that it concerns me any more :-[)

Couldn't opt out for this match. Charged 25 euro for a game I won't be attending. Annoyed is a bit of an understatement.

Got confirmation of my ticket request being met from club this afternoon. I had noticed that limited tickets went onsale at 11am so logged on for the craic. There was a half an hour wait before you could even get on to the purchase portal at 11.06am!!

You'll be stuck with that ticket Farr! Who'd want to buy it off of ya?  :P

It's a balls if you live away from your home county that these couldn't be more flexible. I live in Sligo and go to more of their league games than Tyrone's but I'll try to get to a few Tyrone games and if they get to Croker I'll go for the league. Would be great if I could get a one to use for Sligo's league and Tyrone's championship.

Couldn't opt out for this match. Charged 25 euro for a game I won't be attending. Annoyed is a bit of an understatement.

You'll be stuck with that ticket Farr! Who'd want to buy it off of ya?  :P

Thing is I'm out of the country at the moment!

I assume you already had used an opt out and didn't want to again? Must be very confident of a Mayo win if you're hanging in for the final tickets! Can you not just email them to someone at home to print out, cant be that hard to get rid off.

There are people screaming out for tickets.  Just sell them on. You won't be out of pocket and as a bonus will get your scan to keep your attendance up.

Assume you'd already used your opt out?

question.....we have 2 adult and 2 juvenile season tickets for Tyrone (don't ask), 100% record this year, if they get to final do the Juveniles get final tickets???

Yeah, that's the deal!

Good stuff. And I suppose, in true GAA fashion, they will have to pay the full adult rate too!!!!

Yep, you'll pay full whack for both of them!

Mayo v Tipperary - August 21st 2016 - Bring a friend / Pay & Play - GAA Football All Ireland Senior Championship Semi Final

ACCOUNT ID:

PLEASE READ THE BELOW EMAIL IN FULL.

A Chara,

The "Bring a Friend" option is now live for the GAA Football All Ireland Senior Championship Semi-Final at Croke Park on Sunday August 21st

Fixture Details:

MINOR 1:30pm - Donegal v Galway

SENIOR 3.30pm - Mayo v Tipperary

You can purchase tickets for non season ticket holders to sit with you for this double header - €40 Adult & €5 Juvenile. Up to 4 tickets can be purchased per Season Ticket account.

This offer is open until midday on Friday August 12th

Obviously expecting a small crowd.

No tickets available in any of the sections for bring a friend

Upper Cusack open too may mean 35K roughly

I'd say no more than 28 to 30,000 at this semi final. Mayo 20k Tipp 4k maybe another 4k to support the Galway Donegal minors. 40 euro too expensive for tickets and to encourage a bigger attendance at this semi final the GAA should use some common sense and knock at least ten euro off tickets.

Tickets arrived earlier, 305. Hope there's a huge Mayo crowd, there should be....

The problem is they'd have to do the same for the Dublin/Kerry (sellout) which would result in 60k x €10 lost revenue. Three trips to Croker is a lot for Mayo/Kerry/Donegal people time and money wise. Mayo got a trip extra for the round 4 game v Westmeath.

Tipp is traditionally a Hurling county at Intercounty. Following the more than often successful Hurlers is common place in the county. Football no doubt is strong with the clubs, but there is no culture of following football at Intercounty level. I'd say there's many a Tipperary GAA man, who does not go to (any) many games in their lifetime.

Tipp beating Galway was a disaster revenue wise for the GAA. You would get ten times more Galway fans than Tipp fans at this game. Especially playing Mayo! You'd also get more Mayo fans for the Connacht El Classico!

Kerry v Dublin is supply and demand you could increase that semi final by 10 euro and it would still sell out. More Mayo supporters may have attended this semi final if it were Galway instead of Tipp however Galway are not known for big support and I doubt they would bring ten times more than Tipp especially with a lot of their supporters forking out cash for this weekends hurling semi final.

Id Love to hear the outrage on Joe Duffy if they charged the dubs an extra tenner compared to Mayo and tipp.
and the both kerry fans would be outraged as well

Tickets printed, is it Sunday yet????

Not yet Mick.

Yeah, only about 50,000 or 55,000 tickets sold last I heard.

Think a few people were a big quick complaining about ticket prices and predicting crowds of under 30000. Looks like being a massive crowd given the fact Tipperary are involved and big underdogs.

The 60% only applies to the Croke Park season ticket Farr. Cairde ticket holders don't need to have their attendance recorded to qualify for an All Ireland ticket.

E-mail recieved here regarding qualifying for All Ireland tickets, roll on the 18th!! Make sure all season ticket holders check your payment account details, and also make sure your postal address is correct!

Has anyone actually won the draw for All-Ireland tickets on this forum or know of anyone that has won, through attending 100% of your county fixtures but not making it to All-Ireland final?

"If your team does not make it to the All-Ireland Final but you have attended 100% of your county's matches in the League & Championship you will be automatically entered into a draw for All-Ireland tickets."

Yes.

Season tickets taking a lot from the clubs.

Same amount of tickets clubs got in 2013. Last time in 2013 the cairde tickets came out of county board allocation, croke park season tickets came direct from Croke PArk. This year cairde tickets are run by Croke Park so I presume they now don't come out of the county allocation.

Going by that allocation Mayo get less than 8000 initially.

Quote from: Farrandeelin on September 02, 2016, 05:16:31 PM

That's only what the county board are giving clubs in first allocation. Don't know total allocation county board got. Clubs can gain extra 40 tickets for raising 2K.

Anyone get their tickets yet?

Shit just got real :) come on mayo

303, bit cheesed off. 304/7 every match since season ticket started. Why now into 303 mystifies me!  There are same number of Dublin and likely Mayo ticket holders as there was in 2013.

Ye are some grumpy hoors. There's no such thing as a bad seat in Croke Park on All Ireland Final day.

Like most other 'supporters' within the gaa season ticket holders have turned into awful moaners. Some of the tickets people are complaining about getting for an all Ireland final between the two best supported teams in the country are crazy.

302 for us, will be in good ear shot of the hill. Hopefully they will be nice and quiet at the end....

The only problem I have with my All Ireland final tickets as a Mayoman is the result which was the same even before I got the Gaa season ticket!! ;) So as it stands I have great tickets! ;D

Are the seating groups getting the worst of the seats I wonder? all my seats for Croker up to this point has been between 304 and 307. We joined up a few accounts for the final and now we are out in 311. Still happy to have tickets but would be interested to see how the central areas got divided up.

Same as us but our group of 10 are in 302 this time. Nearly 11,000 season ticket holders to cater for so that must be the whole of the lower Cusack?

309 and at the back in the late double alphabet - Happy with that!  :)

Mayo.mick I was chatting to a mate from Dublin who has season tickets, they are all in upper Cusack, 702,who are getting middle Cusack? Chairde tickets? Dublin equivalents?

Would be nice to get a breakdown

There are several thousand 'term' tickets for both All Ireland's which are in the middle of the Cusack too hence season ticket holders not getting as central tickets as they'd like?

1st world problems  ;)

whats a 'term' ticket
actuly the only one who would have grounds for complaint are those in upper cusack as my inital EMail stated ll season tickets are in Lower cusack.
I can see big changes to the scheme next year ,
are mayo and dublin the only 2 counties to sell out. i know the Tipp hurlers used to as well , and probably will next year

Very same as that. Wasn't in a seating group up to now and was always in a good seat. Joined a seating group (with 1 other person) for the final, and got my ticket in section 311. Still, it's a ticket :)

There were 10 year tickets offered back in 1994 to aid the redevelopment of Cusack Stand, it offered a ticket for both finals for the 10 year period. They were renewable in 04 and 14 but aren't offered for sale again if the original owner didn't take up the option. Its in my head there are 4000 odd of them. If you do a search I think it was discussed a couple of times here before.

They were expensive too, but they guaranteed you a ticket. Great seats too. I think they worked out at €125 per ticket per game, so €250 per seat for both finals. €2500 for the 10 years for 1 seat. Only applied to finals as well.

While expensive, I thought these would be a good deal in a pool of a few people from different counties, a couple of hurling counties and a couple of football ones, with some rule for allocating the ticket if there was a clash of interest.  I suppose you'd need to know the people very well!

They're way dearer than that, €3600 I think the last time they were for renewal. I only know that cause a friend of mine wasn't renewing his and I offered to take it on but baulked at the price.

Maybe it went up in 2014? I know I paid €250 for two to the All IReland Hurling in 2014.

Let me ask a stupid question......when you scan in to a league game do they ask to show a picture ID?

If they don't , what would prevent a season ticket holder from getting their ticket scanned by a mate if they could t make the game.

If that can happen (and I have heard second hand that it does) could people who can't afford season tickets not band together to buy one.  Then they could hold their own drawing among themselves  for the AIF ticket

No they don't ask for id (unless they have a juvenile ticket (which a lot of people will get caught out on for the replay!). Its in the T&C's that you can pass on your season ticket to a friend.

Mayo and Dublin season tickets are sold out.

Tickets are often swapped around - its very common at away games to see people offering tickets. I don't think the GAA mind much as I've never seen anyone try to stop it.

For me the only reason to buy a season ticket is the AI. If you get your act together and don't wait to the last minute you'll get tickets handy enough for any other game. The season ticket isn't even good value at 100 euro as you'll get into a league game for 10 if you buy your ticket in advance.
