And you can only buy "pods" of tickets.
The  2 pods and 3 pods probably all sold.
No family is going to buy a pod of 5 or 6 at €175 or €210. And drive 500kms as well.
The single supporter isn't going to pay for 4,5 or 6 either.
And of course Galway football people aren't noted for big turn outs.
Not to mention a virus circulating like wildfire.

PS no shops/ bars etc will be open in Croke Park.

Point still stands , cause all the moaning about price etc whilst it is valid the same people wont be bothered about price for the next game again if we did happen to win.  It's such a fooking fair weather culture and if you deny that perhaps you dont have the experience of attending games.  They are such a  fickle bunch in general and not really soulful supporters imo , iys all very blaise win or lose .
Walk-in down mchale rd , sun out, summers day , game day . That's all .

Didn't feature in last years Connacht final. Finnerty and Sweeney with Mayo connections.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Mayo fans or fans in general? I'm not going up because nobody in my tiny social bubble will go with me and I'm not paying for 2 tickets.
Inaugural Football Championship Prediction Winner.

Yeah it's a bit shitty that people who would be going to games on their own are effectively excluded unless they buy a second ticket.

Mayo team named. Diarmuid O'Connor is back in. Padraig O'Hora is full back.

Tickets and any amount of them still on sale .

Bohemians sell out 8k in 90mins.

I love GAA like everyone else on here but the supporter culture would sicken your hole , honestly wait till you see the demand for the semi v dubs if we did happen to win on sunday.
What price was the Bohemians tickets? Had a feeling the 35€ price would turn plenty away from the Connacht final and especially with no concession for children and OAPs.

To answer my own question.




Also they didn't sell single tickets either saying it is to ensure maximum safe capacity, while also adhering to social-distancing requirements.

Rossfan

How many would they sell if the game was 150km+ away?

Probably the week that's in it and the sun, but very low key build up to the Connacht final nationally.

So I went on my once a year visit to mayogaablog to at least see if those strange folk had a bitta discussion. By god anytime you check in on it, they never actually let you down. There's a lad on there complaining about Galway protesting against the 1902 Connacht final. And without even an ounce of self awareness or irony, says that "the Galway delegation didn't turn up for the hearing, not the first time they didn't turn up on the big day". This a county that's failed to win its last 13 finals talking about one that's won the third most All Ireland's.

A quick skim gave plenty of laughs but that's the pick of them. Tommy Tiernan (who's had very interesting views on plain old life living in mayo in recent podcasts) would do well to steer better laughs

People have better things to be doing than spending the guts of their day travelling to and from Dublin on a nice day. Covid has made many realise the cost of bringing a family to such an event. When you can relax, stay at home and enjoy your morning and evening and watch the game in comfort on TV, Even have a beer and no worries about driving.

I honestly think it's the weather. A wet boring week and noone and nobody would have anything better to do but get excited for this. As it is people are giddy with other activities and the idea of a warm car/train etc to Dublin for a ridiculously early throw in and no easy prospect of a few pints beforehand has the more casual ones put off. Plus there seems to be a full slate of games for club players despite, in my own case, a Galway hurling game alongside. Probably better I missed it from the looks of it
