New GAA Season Ticket App

Mayo Club 51 · May 20, 2015, 04:54:23 PM

The GAA will be trialing a new GAA season ticket application for smartphones this weekend in Croke Park. The app is initially being offered to a small group of season ticket holders who will be attending this weekends championship match between Longford and Dublin (football) and Dublin v Galway (hurling) quarter finals. Earlier in the year during the league, Croke Park were trialling new self scanning scanners in Mc Hale Park Castlebar, which worked pretty well.

E-mail sent out to select season ticket holders today;

Same with us last year in New York. Got a $5 buck reduction. It was free in 2009 with the season ticket. They reckoned they'd loose too much money with the amount of season tickets!

I expect Sligo will be our free admission day - if we win.
If we don't there won't be anyone going to the Qualifier

Was anyone else offered to trial the new season ticket app this weekend?

They could work on getting the existing system right first before moving on to an app. Not only was there not a scanner in Drogeda last weekend, but they didn't even have the print out of names. Just flash the card as you go in. Should have passed it back out through the fence.
