Season tickets not worth it. Realistically most fans would maybe attend 4/5 league games. 6 at a stretch. You can buy NFL tickets for £9/€10 now, so it's a lot cheaper to buy individually.
If you're in Kerry or Dublin, Mayo etc that's fine as you'll get an AI final ticket, but what's the point if you're from the lesser counties?
If they had a League only ticket, I'd be interested, as I would know which league games I can attend well in advance. With the championship/qualifiers, you could be in Waterford one week, Cork the next. And if you don't attend, you'll be charged anyway! Feck that.
Quick of the bat already, more expense, they could have waited for another month at least
€10 rise a bit steep >:( . 13% or so and inflation at 1%?
We'll be getting the London and (hopefully) Connacht Semi Final included next year.

The Season Ticket plus Club is great value when you are from a county like Armagh who charge €10 into first round championship double headers and qualifers. There is a good 8-10 week spell where there is games on in Athletic grounds Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This year i limited myself to one per weekend as the prices were scandalous. As i would go to a few league games home and away and championship games for Armagh, i will definitely be getting the Season Ticket plus Club.

Armagh has been known to have representation in the Club finals on Paddy's day too. That said the Div 3 league games this year won't be packed, getting a seat won't be problem, but you could have a divisional final to go there too.
What's the Club+ thing all about? What does it cover?

The club + in Mayo anyway is the the same as Mayo's "Cairde Mhaigheo" ticket but for Croke park season ticket holders. It entitles you to club match's in your county and costs €200 here in Mayo. Not sure if its run in other counties, maybe the Parnell pass in Dublin might be similar?

I could go to Dublin matches under lights on the Saturday and then Westmeath matches on the Sun. Also includes entry for the club and league finals.
Will definitely be renewing with 4 games at home next year (a rarity for us) and the away games being Cavan, Kildare and Eastmeath.

Nice change from trips to Derry, Omagh and Cork last year alright. Division 1 is going to be tough on the diesel this year, trips to all corners of the country. Derry, Donegal, Tyrone, Monaghan, Mayo, Kerry, Cork and Dublin.
Renewed and hoping to get use out of it till August 2015 at worst :D
I renewed my tickets this morning, fecking annoyed with the €10 increase this year >:(
Also find it insulting that the early bird runs out on 31st of October (a full 2 feckin months until the official new season) and 10 quid is added. Surely this should be held to at least the 31 Dec to appeal to the 'Daddys Xmas present' market
Annoyed with the extra €10 myself, but it's still great value and hopefully Holmes and Connelly can concoct another 3rd Sunday in Sept use of it!
The value has being diminishing the last few years. Was great value when league matchs were €15, reduced to €13 then and you can now buy €10 tickets in supervalue. If anything they should be reducing the season ticket by €10!

Agreed. 7 games x €10 is €70. Only a handful of counties will get to a nfl final. Most fans won't get to all league games, so then thats €15 for the first c'ship game (which is the usual cost anyway). Ok it gets you into other counties games and club finals, but that's not to everyone's liking or convenience. So I honestly don't see the value. And you're right, if anything, the cost should be reduced.
Never mind the cost,why do they have to be bought three months before the league season starts ?
thats to give existing holders a head start on renewal before they release them for general sale.
i know all mayo tickets were sold out/
I suppose on question is why is there a limit?
and also Why do Super value customers get a discount for the league?
Doesn't make mush sense upping the season ticket price.
Its very little incentive to those counties who don't make the All Ireland Final.
€85 now.
We have 3 home games. If I make 2 away games, individually I would only pay €50 for those 5 games. Ticket into the first round of the Ulster championship is €20.
so for the benefit of a season ticket I will be paying at least €15 (+admin fee) extra.
On top of that the Ulster championship tickets that season ticket holders received were very bad seats (Clones). Those who paid at the gate could choose to sit at the unreserved seats of the Pat McGrane while season ticket holders had to endure terrible seats in row A, 20m line, in the Gerry Arthur stand.
Season tickets is a must if you are from Dublin/Mayo/Kerry etc to guarentee decent Croke Park All Ireland final tickets, but none for the remainder of the counties.

Yeah the seating is an issue too. If we made it to Croke Park, I'd always try to ensure we was covered in case of rain (and a decent view of the match). I don't want to be stuck in Row A.
If the Mayo STs sell out again, which could happen, there will be lots of Cáirde Mhaigh Eo ticket holders really angry I'm sure. There's a lot of anger over on WJ's blog about not buying the CM tickets and instead getting CP ones instead, well if they sell out again, there won't be any spares will there?
The Mayo and Dublin season tickets are open for renewals only. Anyone the doesn't renew, their tickets will go on sale on the 1st of November. Does anyone know how many season tickets there are?
I'd say there'll be a lot of cairde ticket holders pissed off not being able to buy croke park season tickets. I'm hearing a lot of cairde holders not renewing this year.

Would the increase in Season ticket prices indicate that the GAA will announce in January that League tickets are going to stop the early purchase discount where you can but the ticket the day before in Supervalue for €10?
At the minute I am likely to attend 6 out of seven league matches (I aim for 7 but always something comes up). That means I can pay €60 total at Supervalue. So the Season ticket no longer means value for money, it is a break even situation. The only advantage is if you really will go to lots of games from other counties. I would, but my fine lady would not be impressed.
So for me there will be no season ticket this year
How do the Supervalu tickets work lads? Do you for instance have to spend €50 first before you can get a ticket for a tenner or can you just call in and queue at a till?

Yeah, I think you can just buy them at the till for €10.
Does anyone have any idea how many season tickets were sold per county or what the cap is on Dublin and Mayo? I know the first year they were capped at 250 per county and was increased to 500 in 2010.

In Donegal, for the All Ireland final there was a break down of Ticket allocations, and it was noted there were 800 season ticket holders of which 400 were entitled to an all-ireland final ticket.
I half recall the cap going up to 1000 season tickets per county a few years back. But cant quote a source for it.

Venue; An Sportlann, Castlebar Mitchels GAA Club,
Date; Saturday the 8th of November 2014
Time; 7.00pm
Format of the evening
1. Formal welcome to Noel Connelly & Pat Holmes into their new roles
2. The new "Mayo Jersey" will be unveiled
3. New Medical Initiative
4. Sponsorship Extension - Elverys Sports, Pat Rowland
5. Cairde Mhaigh Eo - 2015 "on-line"

An Runai
Seems Croke Park have taken over the running of the Cáirde Mhaigheo season ticket in Mayo. Like the Croke Park ticket, the benefits this year seems to have been reduced. And they will have to attend 60% of games to qualify for an All Ireland (should we ever get there again! :P )
http://mayoclub51.com/mayo-gaa-season-tickets/cairde-mhaigheo-season-ticket/
only option for extra purchases' at the moment seems to be the €200 Cairde Maigh Eo
Poor Value for Exiles
It now seems that any Croke Park season tickets not renewed will not be offered for sale. It effectively means that they are reducing the number of season tickets for Mayo (and possibly Dublin if any of those are not renewed) Is there anyone here that still has not renewed their Mayo or Dublin season tickets and have you still the option to renew for €95?
i suspect the county board are b;locking the €95 tickets so they can sell the €200 one and keep the difference.
I fail to see why they would not sell as many season tickets as possible esp @€95 after all for most league matches a large majority would bring at least 1 other person who will pay full price
Got the Cáirde ticket. Jacket and a couple of other sweetners with it. I m about so if I don t get full value out of it I can t complain.
If you want your season ticket for Christmas, make sure to order or renew before midnight tonight. Season tickets ordered before midnight tonight will be sent out before Christmas. Orders taken from tomorrow will be sent out after Christmas.

I didn't get the ticket this year. But I'll look back on the email they sent with the hundreds of names from a couple of years ago and pick a likely one.
In the unlikely event that any Season ticket holders of other Counties are thinking of going to Kiltoom - only Ros and Cavan ones will be admitted.
Possibly a lot of Rhus might have been thinking of coming to see if we're as good as they seem to fear ;D
Some people have been having problems setting up seating groups for their season tickets. Full instructions on how to set them up are here, http://mayoclub51.com/members/club-51-seating-groups/
There also seems to be problems linking the Cairde Mhaigheo season tickets with Croke Park season tickets. We are currently looking into this and waiting for Croke Park to get back to us.
Moan Moan Moan..isnt there anyone in Ireland with any money..its a joke in uk football season tickets are very very expensive..especially for premier league teams £2000....and there always sold out...You guys harp on about how good and important it is to support gaa yet many on here begrudge paying for anything...You live in the past pay per view will be widespread and wel see the real supporters of the gaa locking themselves in the little pub and hiding in mammys cottage!

A Chara,
As you know, your 2015 GAA Season Ticket covers entry to the AIB GAA Junior and Intermediate Club Championship Finals at Croke Park on February 14th & 15th.
If you wish to attend the club finals this weekend simply present your Season Ticket card for scanning at the turnstiles. Please note that only the Lower Hogan Stand is open on both days and unreserved seating will be in operation.
Hi,
Did anyone have a problem with their season ticket at the Mayo Tyrone game, one of our three did not register and I am getting no luck with seasonticket@gaa.ie in getting the attendance recorded.
Didn't hear of anyone having problems. We went in stile 1 & 2 and are all updated. Must not have been scanned properly?
Mick,
I'll have to get back onto them. On another note its a shambles before games getting into McHale park before games with season tickets. Is there any reason why they don't use the other end of the stadium for access as well?

No, we don't
expect to get to the Al final this year. As Farrandeelin pointed out, its not just Mayo supporters, but all season ticket holders we were informing. As many Mayo season ticket holders know and have experienced from last year, there were a lot of problems scanning tickets particularly at two match's. We had a lot of people contacting us with all the problems they were having trying to get it sorted. We ourselves (particularly one of our admins) went over and beyond the call of duty communicating with Croke Park trying to sort out what was
their mistakes. You can view all the details here; http://mayoclub51.com/season-tickets-scanned-cork-match/ and subsequent update here: http://mayoclub51.com/gaa-season-ticket-scanning-problems-an-update/
The reason we are pointing this out is, for this year, in the T&C's if your attendance is not recorded or updated you only have 10 days to contact Croke Park. After that they
WILL NOT ENTERTAIN YOU A lot of people do not realize this!
This has just been announced this evening. There will be self scanning of your season tickets this Sunday in McHale Park Castlebar.
QuoteThrow in 2.00pm
· Elverys MacHale Park will open to all Patrons at 12.30pm (normally 1.00pm)
· Self Scanning for Cairde Mhaigh Eo card holders and Croke Park Season Ticket Holders.
On Sunday All Cairde Mhaigh Eo card holders and Croke Park Season Ticket holders will enter through stiles 1 -8 as normal.
Once patrons enter the stile they will swipe their card through a card reader which will allow access while also automatically uploading their attendance.
Stewards will be stationed at each of the self scanning turnstiles to assist patrons.
This new self scanning of season tickets seems to be a new development for the GAA. We would urge all supporters to get to MacHale park early on Sunday (gates will be open from 12.30)
Full details here; http://mayoclub51.com/new-season-ticket-self-scanning/
(http://mayoclub51.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/new-season-ticket-scanner.jpg)
Well, how did everyone get on with the new contraptions in MacHale Park yesterday? My season ticket account hasn't been updated yet so they musn't be connected to Croke Park yet?
Looked like one turnstile at Healy Pk opened for a big crew of season ticketers. ..not a nice night to be queueing

It is very disappointing that a man so supposedly committed to investigating debt in Irish society should be so blasé about such huge debts that exist within his own county board.
You are just like Seafoid. Nothing of substance behind all the bluster and righteous indignation.

You don't do self-scanning. In fact you don't do self anything.
I would imagine that a few self-scanners, you know, like the ones you can walk around with in your hands Tesco, will hardly bother those worried about 'investigating debt in Irish society'. ;D ;D ;D
It is not a laughing matter Muppet. Either you are serious about financial reform, in all its manifestations, or you are not.

Could be the "end of the GAA as we know it".
Now if we could only get the snow to go away and Sheehy to lose his Seafood obsession.....
Season tickets has been updated this morning. Aren't these new self scanners being rolled out to all grounds in the future? They'll all be connected directly to Croke Park through new updated WiFi, which will also be used by match jurnos and photographers. I've read that somewhere recently, can't remember where though.

There were some people alright whose attendance was not updated. Seems a scanner was misplaced. Most were updated on Friday. Make sure to check your account and e-mail them to complain if not updated. You only have 10 days from when the match was played to ensure your attendance is corrected (from this years T&C's, here http://mayoclub51.com/members/downloads/ )
Season tickets are out in your account now for printing.
Section 304 as opposed 306 this time
306 for us this time, in from 303 last Sunday.

They are released into the general quota of tickets for distribution. Attendance has to be over 60% to qualify for tickets. Anyone with 100% attendance is entered into a draw for tickets. I'm just waiting on the postie ;D

I have a junior ticket and said Child will no longer be eligilble for u-16 ticket next year .
can i just upgrade the ticket to a full ticket or will i have to buy a new one next year .
Last year all existing tickets were Renewed so chances of getting a new one could be small

The juvenile ticket will automatically default to an adult ticket if the child is not longer entitled to the juvenile ticket. I have recently had the same query regarding my son's ticket and was told that. Can i ask what age the child is though? If they're still 16 on the 1st of January 2016 you'll get another year as a juvenile for them. My daughter turned 16 in November last year so i thought i wouldn't be entitled to the juvenile ticket for 2015 and was all set to have to pay the adult price but got the juvenile again.
Heartless bastards !!!!!!!! 4 season tickets at 57 percent outta the 60 required to attend final, anyone have any contacts in the season ticket office, I've hit a stone wall with them
:'( :'( :'( :'(
I've a friend that happened to in 2013 and they didn't back down. Hope you get sorted though. Next year make sure you get someone to use your ticket when you can't to keep your attendance up. There'll always be someone glad of a freebie and willing to help you out.

Really is grab all association
Not sure why your calling it grab all association. The scheme clearly set out from the start that people who go to majority of games should get final tickets. They were quite clear with the 60 pet cent bit. I'm not sure exactly what your complaint is.
Exactly squire, they're very explicit about the 60% attendance -- do you expect to be treated differently from everyone else?

Dublin have played 15 games this year. To qualify you have to have went to 9 of those. Dont know how you have been to 57% games unless you have been to 8 of them and that you used your opt out option so are not considering this game so 8/14 = 57%. Although its not clear how they treat the opt out in the calculation. Its a bit harsh if they are not considering the opt out.

Easy lads I'm on having a whinge, allow me that ;)
My gripe was that and I should have explained was that everybody was marked as attending the Mayo game in castlebar (technical glitch) thus someone who had a similar attendance to mine would have been pushed into the 60 percintile, even if they had not attended, more power to them !!

Maybe you should reconsider giving your tickets to someone to use next year (friends/family - I'm not suggesting you sell it to the highest bidder)? You wouldn't be in the predicament you're in now if you did???

Have any Kerry or Dublin season ticket holders received their tickets in the post yet?
This morning I did. Letter says Hurling Final so someone made a balls of the copy and paste. Thankfully ticket says Football Final. Section 305 happy with that.
Tickets arrived. 705 row Z :( Don't get me wrong, delighted to have a ticket but so much for rewarding loyalty! 93% attendance and I'm shoved up in the back row in the upper tiers when my friend who has just about made it with just barely over the 60% attendance is 16 rows in front of me in 706.

No, Season Tickets tend to between blocks 304 - 307 in lower and 704 - 707 in the upper. My ticket is a Championship Upper Tier ticket, all league and Leinster I'm in the lower but once the business end comes around and they start to sell out I get moved to the Upper tier (which i did know when I bought it), would just like them to reward attendance fairly!

And I read somewhere else that undercover gardai will be out and about sunday before the game to catch touts and they have the authority to confiscate tickets that are being sold for above face value.
I think that's only right and proper!
But it got me thinking, what happens to these confiscated tickets (or cancelled parnell pass hill 16 tickets)? Can they be re-issued to genuine fans? or do the seats end up being left empty?
