All Ireland football final tickets

clareman · September 02, 2009, 03:14:27 PM

My advice is to relax and don't panic. I have been to both hurling and football finals every year for the past 6/7 years and there is always plenty of tickets about the day before and the morning of the game. I have yet to meet a genuine fan who has ever failed to get a ticket for an all ireland....

My search for tiickets for the Football final has proven to be fruitless so far. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions of where I could acquire some tickets?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried joining this club?

Sorry to sound cheeky again, but for a county that's in a senior AIF (Maurice is from Kerry), I'd say if you were an active member of a club, it would be your best chance to get a ticket.

But I can see why you can't get one too easily in Mayo

(grumpy indeed today)

I MIGHT have 2 hurling tickets available tomorow - would swap for football tickets or face value obviously - any potential takers?

Have sent you a PM.

orangeman · September 03, 2009, 11:25:43 PM

I have a friend who has 2 pairs of tickets for the hurling who would like to swap for football tickets.

Lower Cusack 302 and Lower Hogan 326.

PM me if interested and I can put you onto him.

Thanks for your advice lads,

So if your not an active member of your club, its looks like only other option open is to chance it on the day.... :/

Thanks again

i know the football final is usually harder to get tickets for but on sunday i had a spare hurling ticket,and i was trying to sell it when a tout approached me offering 15 euro,told him to go f**k himself,ended up taking the ticket home,there were a serious amount of tickets about and maybe not to the same extent but i expect plenty to be available for the football.

A good kick in the stones is what he needed instead.
