Is there 10,000 tickets! I thought Mayo had 2500?


We got split up. 4 in 306, 5 rows from front. Then 2 more are dropped down from 406 last week to 302.

Yop, I heard that that number approx. as well with Mayo second to Dublin only in the number of season tickets allocated.

When you think of the many folks that avail of the bring a friend scheme where they are pushed to less optimum seats its frustrating to be pushed out the extremities of the stand

declan123

Season ticket office have confirmed they have 7000 season tickets to service for this fixture

it doesn't look like there will be any tickets released to other season ticket holders (i.e. non Galway or KK) like there was last year. They would have sent the email by now. Although if I remember correctly the email was sent on the Friday before the final last year.

Was that not just for the replay?

No I got an email about it for the drawn game too. I still have it.

sheff the ref

My emails came on the Friday at around 1pm, two days before the drawn game last year, and nine days ahead of the replay. Didnt receive any email for the football final. No email this year

Sound affair.

The season ticket comes into its own on days like this.

Trampas

Any ideas where the season ticket sat for the hurling final?

BonnieSituation

Just as a heads up before someone asks about Football Final tickets.

In 2011 they took the cash on the 9th and in 2013 they took it on the 10th.

I'm sure the replay will delay matters somewhat though.

Yup. Got the email. Have to harrass the brother now for the cash. He is 14 though...

We were sat in 306 for the hurling final, was talking to some other season ticket holders who were in 305.

Anybody know the procedure for changing a name on a season ticket? It's not a big deal if it can't be done of course, just curious.

I'm certain I read that somewhere in the FAQ.

In other news they still haven't taken the cash for my tickets.

EDIT: They emailed almost as soon as I posted above. I'm 160 bills lighter now. But 2 tickets heavier.

Thanks lads, not a problem anyway.

Money came out for me too, waiting for my ticket now- upper tier.

It's specifically an upper tier season ticket (Dublin), so once Croker is full we're up there.

SillyBeans

Ahhhh. That makes sense. Thought I was missing something!

C.O.Y.B.I.B

Season Tickets arrived this morning , Section 308
Havent been outside 305/306 all year . Spent the last 2 finals involving Dub in 305 , so a bit disappointing.

Trampas

305 row j for my block of tickets

C.O.Y.B.I.B

Luck of the draw I suppose . I think other people had similar issues before . I did talk to someone who was at the Hurling final last week on a freebie who was sat in 306 .....

Trampas

Might be.

I've a season ticket since day one if that makes a difference

Always wonder how they go about allocating them, ticket number, seating group number, size of seating group, a-z surnames, length of membership, random... god only knows!

babyhack

Got my tickets this morning
Section 309 , never been pushed that far out, am in the same boat had season ticket since day one

They seem to have made a mess of the final this year
My first email had a person missing from the list of tickets
The tickets I received have no match name or team names on them
The letter with the tickets is titled AI hurling final

Anyone else having the same issues?

Am in 308. Was in 307 for semi and 306/305 mostly before. Good to get, beggars can't be choosers, hold on I have 93% attendance.

Careless alright with the letter title hurling final.

yeah, same here. surprised that some others who are day 1 are pushed further out.

for each final we've been lucky enough to be very central, but the rest of each year we seem to get moved around a lot. e.g. 304 and 307 for the semi finals this year.

Is everyone who mentions day 1, from the 250 trial tickets in what was it 2009? i.e not the first year they went on official sale?

I've been a season ticket holder since 2010, bought the season ticket in the run up to Christmas 2009. What an investment it has been!

Generally i'm in section 305 for league and championship games. Was in 305/306 for '11 & '13. This time round i'm in the double letters in 309.

I seem to have been allocated one of the less central tickets compared to others here but i'm certainly not complaining. The club which has c. 2,000 members got an allocation of 45 stand and 25 for the hill. Even as a playing member for over 30 years in the club i would just have been in the lottery like everyone else. No chance i would have got 2 tickets together in a central location. Delighted to be honest:D

Yes, part of that 250.

BonnieSituation

Mine landed today.

In 304G.

I'm part of the original 250 as well. I don't think any of that matters though.

Was in 305 for 2011 and 2013.

mayo.mick

I've had the season ticket myself since they first came out in 2009. The 2 finals that I've got to use it our seating group of 10 was either in 304/5/6. Don't know how they allocate the seating at all? For the 1st Dublin match I was in 303. For the replay I was in 306. Mates of mine that would usually be a couple of rows either behind or in front were in 306 for 1st match and 303 in replay match. One mates ticket was for 302 and his young sons in 304, both tickets on same account, same payment card.

Another thing about all the scanning issues last year and people giving out about us always "whinging". It cost one Dublin fan (not sure if here or another forum) dearly this year. Only had 57% attendance and lost out on 4 final tickets. Important to make sure tickets scanned correctly!

hard to see how that can happen? 15 games, think 11 of those in Croke Park, which has never had scanning issues certainly not for 4 tickets? Cant get to 57%, can get to 53% or 60%?

very easy for Dublin fans to get 80% attendance without even trying really, especially since semi final replay would have been an extra unexpected game to bring attendance up and scanning issues in Mayo meant that apparently everyone was credited with attending?

Would have been looking at 47% without the replay happening so nowhere near qualifying for attendance on any of tickets?

Dublin had 7 league games and 4 of those were away. (I don't think that the league semi final and final count towards your attendance.) I've heard of some unbelievable stories of scanning cock ups in Killarney, Pairc Ui Rinn, Castlebar & Clones, ranging from the scanners not being sent from Croke Park, to "the lad" forgetting to pick them up from the Co Board office before the game. :rolleyes:

Dublin fans do have it easy, in terms of getting to Croker Park for games. No one would dispute that. But we go away for our summer holiday, just like everyone else. We have family & work commitments, just like everyone else. We miss miss games for weddings, christenings and what not, just like everyone else. So getting those 4 away games scanned correctly, is more important than you'd think.

Of course it's important and I'm well aware we all have stuff on, but the Mayo away game was the one with scanning issues this year and everyone got credited with attending?

The league semi and final do count for attendance.

So out of the 15 games so far I make that 11 were in Croker. You need 9 of 15 games to get 60% attendance, having been credited with the Mayo game that means people just needed to get to 8 of the 11 Croker games over the year and not even have to get to any away games.

That's not even counting the opt out that you can take for one of the games also. Or getting someone to use your tickets if you can't go.

Blaming scanning issues for not getting to 60% is hard to believe is what I was trying to get across, especially across 4 different tickets.

Trampas

I was one of the original 250 also.

3 in my group and 2 opt out of one of the championship games but all it did was didn't charge then but took the hit on non attendance which I expected it wouldn't.

Opting out gets counted as non attendance.

copacetic

That must have changed recently? Used opt out back in 2010 I think and it didn't affect attendance. Not worth it then I guess, better to pass on tickets..

No sign of our tickets yet!! Getting worried, money was taken from the account.

My tickets arrived this morning - 707 row P for a group of 7. Happy with that.

Including replay, Dublin had 15 matches. 11 at Croke Park. 4 away - Cork, Kerry, Mayo & Monaghan. I didn't travel but was still credited for the Mayo game.

DDC1990

Section 309 Row SS

Happy to be in the stadium but it's the worst seats I've ever had in Croker with the season ticket.

It won't make a difference if we win, but still a bit put out by it.

Stoner

705. Happy with that. Have been there a bit ever since we added another ticket in 2012

celticbest

707 J, not the worst by the looks of it.

It's actually not that bad once you are back a bit, in the double letters. We were in 309 Row A last year which I think is much worse.

Anywhere after Row T is grand really from a rain and view perspective.

I was in A for 1st SF v Mayo. Shocking.

I am of the opinion that there are no bad seat really on Croke Park.

I've watched matches from the front row of the Lower Davin behind the goals and still had decent sight for most of the pitch.

Still there are some fantastic seats however. Premium Front row on the halfway line were special, but only had them for Christy Ring Finals.

Tickets for last year's final were very good. 304 Row K or something. Perfect.

Yes there are. Front row of 309 are among the worst. You can't see anything AT ALL that's happening at the nearest corner to you at the hill 16 end. Anything that happens there you're either watching it on the screen, or waiting for the Sunday Game.

When are the season tickets up for renewal?
