Dublin used to fill Croke Park regularly, attendances are falling across the board, including Dublin. It can't be denied. Just look at Dublin attendances when they've played championship games outside Croke Park! Was it 17,000, 14,000 and this year 12,000?

2000 drop on average or 14% between 2016 and 2018. That will have them worried but we know one thing for sure that will be said it's not Dublin's fault. Other county supporters need to get their act together.

where were the dubs for the all ireland semi-final? In previous years they would have filled croke park on their own. This year for the semi final it was only about 3/4trs full.

Did the price of tickets not go up this year?

More games.
Less entertainment.
Smaller crowds.
Less revenue.
Great job everyone.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

I'm not sure what the price was last year but £40 for a stand ticket for an All Ireland semi final is too much, especially when the fans involved have just forked out for 2 matches extra than they would have had under the previous structure. I wonder how attendance would have been affected if the stand tickets were £25 and the Hill £10.
That was never a square ball!!

Stand ticket for the semi's were 45 euro's which is too dear but don't think the price will have affected attendances.

To be fair kids tickets for 5 euro's are brilliant value for money in comparison to any other form of entertainment.

The more games brought in was make more revenue not lose it. HQ will need to think outside the box now to get more bums on seats.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Show me the drop in attendances per county or county ground?

Dublin are on team out of 34 that play championship football annually.

The semi final happened before, 1995, only time will tell if its a once off occurrence and Mayo exiting early, in fairness to them bring large numbers everywhere, especially last year.

A lot less replays this year also but then you have the super 8s.

If you add the 30k absent from the semi final in football in which the Galway fans didn't attend, that's till only 880,000, a 90K drop elsewhere

If our run in last years championship is taken out of the equation how does it compare? I'd imagine this would balance it out?

Anybody know the actual attendance at final? "Full house" was announced at HT but a few empty seats here and there and no shortage of tickets knocking around beforehand. I've looked but no sign of a figure.

It's impossible to have an actual 'full house'.
Some seats always have to be kept in reserve.

No official figure was given out because i believe it was well below the 82,300 capacity and HQ didn't want the public to know that.

It's all crumbling for the suits in HQ. The elite 8's were a complete flop. Attendances down across the board. Even the Dubs are losing interest in the circus. Time for them to wake up. Their strategy has failed. The return on the investment in Dublin GAA led to short term gain but as was predicted, it has come crashing down. The monster is melting.
