Got my 7 pack so hopefully them Langers will produce a team to play us.
On the other hand if not and they get automatic relegation then we might just hang on in Div 2.

Did u get an individual ticket for every game or is it some kind of entry pass for the 7 games???

They are individual tickets for each game.
So easily transferable if required

An NFL Pass would be the thing where you can go to any game.
Living on biffo land i often to to see offaly or even if there was a good game in Port laoise but these tickets i might pop along if my mayo pass wouold cover me. esp with saturday night games its quiet feasable to make 2 games in a week end.

QuoteGAA say no plans to extend ticket offer
27 January 2008

Despite the success of a trial scheme for the upcoming national leagues, the GAA says it has no plans to extend the same ticket package offer for the provincial or All-Ireland championships.

Croker chiefs were very happy with the uptake by counties of their seven game league ticket package which sold at 80 euro for a seat or 65 euro for a terrace spot but Croke Park spokesman Fergal McGill says the package won't be on offer outside of the leagues.

"What we have to realise is that the All-Ireland finals are for all the GAA members and workers," McGill explained.

"Many of them are so committed to their clubs that they are simply unable to attend intercounty games on as regular basis as some supporters.

"Some of them may be coaching underage teams or playing, but the fact remains that it is not possible for them to attend as regularly as possible.

"Yet without them the GAA would not survive obviously it's quite difficult to find a cast-iron system for the distribution of tickets but at the moment we believe that the one in place is fair."

I see what's being said, but does this mean that mere 'supporters' are good for money when everyone else is busy or(/and) uninterested?
Also, it's hardly true to say that the current system is 'fair'.

Should have got Armagh's ticket package.

It was eleven pounds in today ...

What was the admission at the other grounds

Wonder what they're going to do about the package if Cork pull out of the league. Will there be a refund?

Someone was saying it was only a tenner into the Down game last night. Is this true?

€15 at Clones. '4 home games' ticket was €45, so it's basically 4 games for the price of 3. No point in buying one if you're one home game down already, but otherwise it's a bit of a saving.

Clones yesterday :
€15 into the stand
€13 into mc grane (uncovered seats).

The stand package of €45 for 4 games seems it was great value now!!

Quote€15 into the stand

Well there is real value in being in the covered stand, in Cross' it was €15 in to stand on gravel. How come there are two rates at one venue and not another?

Maguire01 · February 04, 2008, 01:10:30 PM

Anyone who opts to save €2 for an uncovered area, considering typical weather at this time of year, needs their head examined. It's hard to see why in Clones they opened the other side of the ground for what was a maximum of 100 spectators.
