Problems some Mayo fans had with cards not being scanned properly last year.

Absolutely flawed system in my opnion, I have a family pass for tayto park and all our photos are linked to the card.

I see lower cusack tickets for sale at 1500 a pop online on viagogo

If they went down the photo route though Squire it could stop other people being able to use your card and help you keep your attendance % up?!

I don't give my tickets to anyone, that's why I think the system is flawed, I mean they say its a season ticket but you have no photo linked to it being you and you could in theory tout the tickets to your hearts content

Alas its me and t.v on the 20th, the only plus I can think of is if I had got the same tickets for 2013 final, back row in 406, beside wheelchair users and were everyone gathers from the bars and canteen, awful seats

I'm not sure how much you'd make touting league games or pre-semi final tickets tbh

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???

Spot on dude, I won't make the same mistake again  ;)

I may return to the Parnell pass instead of the season ticket

Or you could go to most of the bloody games, vast majority of which are in your back yard.

Have any Kerry or Dublin season ticket holders received their tickets in the post yet?

T Toatler

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.

Ah well - at least I'm there! #thinkpositive

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!

I see the GAA have finally begun to clamp down on touting.

"It has come to our attention that a Parnell Pass Hill 16 ticket is for sale online at a price above face value. This ticket has since been cancelled and is not valid for Sunday's game"

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?
