Thats a huge number of tickets for small junior clubs, doesn't seem fair that all clubs getting the same amount of tickets. I doubt there's many counites who go down that route.

Surely each club has a registered number of members and it wouldn't have been hard to calculate the allocation on a pro-rata basis? 

[Milltown Row2]

That's fair in respect that if the allocation is not used within that clubs membership, then the rest go back to the county to allocate to other clubs that are short of tickets due to their membership being bigger

One vote per club in deciding the system. 240 tickets is a drop in the ocean for the bigger clubs.

That's the joy of being in a final. Especially with two teams who haven't been there in a long time. Demand will outstrip supply all day long and unfortunately, quite a lot of people are going to be disappointed.

[thewobbler]

Pretty sure that when Down made it in 2010:

The first tranche of tickets was split evenly per club.

A second tranche of tickets (returns from counties, unsold season tickets, etc) appeared about 6-7 days before the final and its distribution was weighted by club membership.

[DuffleKing]

All Ireland finals are not like other games with respect to returns - there won't be any.

Those smaller clubs are allocating 2/3 per tickets per member.

[RedHand88]

This is absolute madness. Ridiculous policy. You'd think the likes of Crossmaglen, Tir na og etc are going to be completely screwed.

I have read elsewhere that Armagh clubs voted in favour of each club having an equal allocation in regards AI tickets, and it carried due to there being so many small clubs. So tough titty for Clann Éireann, Cross, Killeavy etc.

junior clubs all voted for this
do teams with a seconds in the league, cross, killeavy, peters and clann eireann get 480 tickets as they are paying double fees ?

Exactly this.

Are you serious? No club is going to return any All Ireland tickets.
If you are a small club with less members than the number of tickets allocated to you - you're going to give two tickets to some members. Or maybe give some to lads who have been members or players in the past but aren't anymore for whatever reason (moved away etc.).
You absolutely will not be returning any to the county board - not a chance.

When you vote people into leadership positions, should they not be able to sit down and make a decision, instead of taking a vote on everything that moves thereafter!
