Silly question re man u game at aviva

mirwillbeback

Hi lads, really silly question but want to see what the story is -

Have two tickets for Wednesday's match for me and my boy, just got let down by babysitter and wondering if I brought my 4 year old with me ( without ticket ) would I have hassles if I sat him on my lap - just don't want to be turned away!!

Thanks in advance

I'll mind him for you

I dont think you'll get your four year-old in without a ticket. Just my opinion, mind.

Not a hope of getting him in without a ticket i'm afraid.

I'd say you should have no problem.

I'd ring the Aviva if I were you to get an official answer to it. Asking here isn't going to get you a 100% answer.

Imo though they won't allow it.

Well your dealing with the FAI so there is no chance your little boy will be let in without a ticket, but i hope you prove me wrong:D

CSF

Not a hope of getting away with that I'd say.

Not a chance I'm afraid, ring them up and hope for the best, it will be FAI people doing the turnstiles rather than the volunteers at LOI grounds. I'd say you would have no prob getting your 4 yr old into a LOI match like that, but the FAI people probably wont oblige.

Id say you have no chance. It's a health and safety issue, each person in the ground must have a seat.

I have brought my kids to Croke Park for GAA games when they were as young as 6 months and they had to have tickets, I doubt the Fai or the Aviva stadium managers whould have a different policy

Ring up the Aviva. Explain your situation and at least you'll know the answer worst case scenario.

If you paid for your 6 month old child into a GAA match, either you are not cute enough or you are too honest.

Cant see it happening to be honest! Otherwise it will catch on and you will have a load of 20 year olds sittin on their mates laps to get in for free!!!

Not a chance. Check back of ticket it might have some T&C's which might mention childs ages etc.

What would you suggest? Smuggling the baby in under your coat?

And you're being samrt. it was Croke Park he said. yOu could get away with it i suppose at most other small grounds but not at Croker if it's an all ticket match.

Would not be wise to listen to this dude.

No chance of getting a child into Croker without a ticket these days. Highly unlikely that the Aviva stadium guys will be any more lenient.

I wouldn't say you'd be allowed. There are safety regulations, insurance issues etc. If everybody started bringing their children for free you can imagine the problems that would cause.
