Well if your county isn't in the final you are rightly well down the list. After clubs in each country and season ticket holders. You're season ticket is for your county.

Yeah if your lucky enough that your county has a chance of getting to the all ireland.

I would go to a lot more matches than just my own county, while somebody who might not have attended a single match but whose county is strong and gets to the all ireland has a better chance of getting a ticket

Been lucky to get tickets the last few times we got to the final,in 09 I picked one up the day before the match in Dublin, traveled in hope of getting one and thankfully I did,try everything ye can to get tickets,enter club draws and any other draws that will be taking place,plague people that are involved in your local club,anyone on the club committee gets first refusal on a ticket,well that's the way it worked down here anyway,also if you know anyone involved in a GAA club abroad chance them as well.

Best of luck in the search for tickets and best of luck in the final.

What extras? Not sure to be honest, but for that kind of money I'd expect to sitting on Jim's lap watching the game.

Does it depend on your county getting into the all ireland,

Like if you went to all 60% of louth's league and championship games, but they didnt get to the All Ireland - would you still get a ticket for the all Ireland?

Seems like you will be entered into a draw - linky

According to all official sources the allocation wont be decided until next Monday so Im not sure where people are getting the info.

Forget this corporate bullsh*t or allocating a load of clubs around the country tickets, if right was right each county in the final would be allocated 30,000 tickets and the remainder put on general sale.

galway hurlers recieved 12,500 why would the football allocation be different?

and dont forget the minors... meath and then kerry/dublin...

in fairness this post describes the lot, plenty who deserve to be taken care off... but there should be some sort of a stub system to give non season ticket holders a chance

fook me anyway... should have got the season ticket after looking at mufflers post... would have been one away... im sure i would have edged one in somewhere if i had it:mad:

Gonna be very hard to get tickets. Have been to every game this year so far but already hearing stories about people who don't go to games but are well connected getting their final ticket sorted. That really frustrates me .

I wonder up to how much they could cost if buying them off donedeal, adverts etc? And anyone think there will be many available this way?

Tully86

I would guess the prices for tickets that land on donedeal would be a huge price. Unfortunatly the touts always seem to get a share from somewhere!

13000 tickets for Donegal is shocking for a stadium that holds 84000, considering they took about 40000 to the semi too.

Is there any sport in the world where tickets are allocated fairly?

Yes, GAA, where season ticket holders get rewarded.Bandwagoners have to take their chances.

could comforably fit the crowd from the cavan/derry games... close enough the tyrone one in that allocation...

ulster and leinster got 7.5k each for the heinekin cup final although tickets were on general sale also... twickenham is pretty much the same size as croker so rugby aint great either!

I know that, hence the question.

I have been at plenty of big football games too where the fans don;t get enough tickets.

I just feel that with a lot of sports, the genuine fans support the teams all the way to the final, but then the final is taken over for corporate reasons and the tickets go to the wrong places.

Yeah cant see why the gaa dont introduce a loyalty card - the more matches you go to , you build up points towards the big games

That's what the season ticket is for.

I'd say the opposite. Mayo, like Donegal, don't get there that often. Dublin, on the evidence of 1992, don't have as dedicated a following. If it a dry day their fans decide to drop into Croke Park if there isn't a decent premiership match on TV, often only arriving after the match has started. They know nothing about spending weeks saving and planning for a trip.
They aren't as resourceful at getting tickets from any and everywhere. Every GAA club in the country gets two tickets and the last time every one of them ended up in Donegal, along with a quite a few allocated to Dublin clubs.

Many of the Donegal fans there yesterday were children and students, and it was great to see them there but few of them will be back in September. There are no reduced fee tickets for the final making it too expensive for a family day out even if you could get the tickets.

I'm from Dublin, I could say a lot to this, but I'll resist with a rolleyes :rolleyes:

Anyway, I agree with the point made that you should want Mayo to beat us on Sunday. Dubs generally have great difficulty getting tickets for finals, like the rest of the country of course, but last year it was to the extent that if you didn't know some club-member lucky enough to get one in a random county other than the 2-4 in the final, or if you weren't a season-ticket holder, you were screwed. Usual sources in Dublin getting huge numbers were getting only a few. It was awful. The capacity of Croker is 82,300; the attendance? Precisely 82,300. Usually one soul might miss it etc, but Dublin/Kerry, the first final for the capital in 16 years, was huge. I entered 6 competitions in desperation, was on DoneDeal/Adverts constantly and got nowhere, and only at the very very last minute on the day got two seperate tickets. Thank god I saw the sense to get a season ticket.

Start looking now anyway, put your name out to anybody who'll listen, after Sunday it'll get tough, moreso if we're facing ye I'd say.

I should add that Dubs get tickets, there's no problem there. What I meant is that demand skyrockets.

Is it possible to get tickets for the all ireland hurling final in Donegal?

I may be wrong but I think all counties get a certain allocation of tickets for both finals.

I'd imagine that the vast majority of hurling tickets that were allocated to Donegal have been/will be swapped with Galway clubs in return for football tickets.:D

If you can get hold of football tickets to swap for them you should have no problem.:D

So now Mayo are in the final, are there any going on General Sale? Or still all through clubs?

AI final tickets do not go on general sale.


(maybe when Leitrim meet London they will)

ah sure it'll be half empty now the dubs aren't there, people will be giving them away.

Probably said with tongue firmly in cheek, but untrue.

They are like gold dust up here. I know hardened GAA followers who have gone to many games for years and they can't get them.

I spoke to a prominent businessman I know who would have a lot of contacts, "not a hope" was his reply.

Best bet is outside of the participating counties ya would think

worth trying every avenue you have (iv been asking people from dublin, westmeath, roscommon etc)! but even that is tough all the same... clubs only get a few and they are often raffled off.
