Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

If the under 35s went without an Açai bowl and a flat white once a week they'd have no bother buying a ticket for the match or streaming it.

I take your point glen man which is fair.

However I still think the Co board wouldn't lose money if they offered a season ticket I think you would catch the punter who is buying 5 or 6 matches. Get more from them then they are happy they have all available if they feel like watching.

There would not be many buying 10 games plus in my opinion.

Also there would be argument to be made that they shouldn't be seen to be screwing money out of people to watch a sport with a socialist outlook and an amateur ethos.

I do agree. Some sort of package for the TV is the obvious missing piece of the puzzle.

Entry season ticket - £150, roughly £3 per game for all or £6 if you only attend half the games. Good value.

Individual entry tickets - starting at £11/13. I think these are frozen from last year, and if you only attend a small selection of games, it's not too bad. Children are free.

Individual streaming - £1 more than the gate price. Think this was set several years ago and seems fair to encourage in-person attendance. It probably hasn't kept pace with how many games people now expect to watch (all games rather than just their own club).

However, I did make the point before. We all expect the best for our county teams - seniors to be playing in June/July, Minor & u20 trophies etc etc. That all costs money and the championship is really the only reliable income stream every county has.

If we want to cut the price of championship tickets, then maybe a discussion about cutting county team expenditure is needed - but I can imagine how that would go.

The balance sheet at convention each year only shows a very small profit which I imagine is quickly swallowed up by gear, injuries, surgeries, physios, travel expenses, meals & nutrition, buses, hotels etc etc.

I don't think they should cut prices just offer a season pass for tv.

Armagh spent €1.5m versus Tyrone €1.3m in 2025 season but they have a season pass for online games.

I honestly don't think the county board would take a hit in this instance and it would be good PR for a county that seems to get bad PR in regards these things. E.g. mcconnells comments regarding the price of a loaf.

I have heard the fire stick is making somewhat of a sparse breakthrough if it comes back full do they keep putting resource into cracking it? Or get ahead of it and get a season pass that is reliable and supporters buy into?

I think a season pass for tv is a win win for Co Board and Supporters.
