Having ordered 4 tickets, I was worried when the postman handed me only 3 envelopes.
Was gonna ask him was he going to the game

4 Tickets in each envelope though. From worried to confused very quickly.

Well, that solves that. I was going to try to get a ticket down in Drumcondra on the day but will be staying well away from that now.

its only a problem with tickets.ie tickets on very obviously tickets.ie ticket paper.

the other 72,000 tickets on GAA ticket paper are unaffected.

Not every ticket in Croke Park has a duplicate floating about. It effects a small percentage of tickets, for example I order from tickets.ie but only received one set of tickets. Whoever turns up to the stadium second will just not be allowed in, it won't be too hard to marshall.

I'm also going to go out on a limb. They have a machine to print and package the tickets.... It was a software error, not human. Just a limb I'm going out on.

How many tickets have you been charged for? Did they duplicate that too?!

Conspiracy hat on:

Maybe this is all a plot to mess with the Touts! Who's going to risk buying tickets from anyone they're unsure of now, with the news of these duplicates going around. All those lads that bought dozens of tickets on Monday will have to work hard convincing people to buy a ticket, let alone pay over the odds.

Those crafty GAA maniacs!

Conspiracy hat off.

It's not a ridiculous thought, given the sheer naivety and thoughtlessness of the GAA. It wouldn't surprise me if they had planned this and thought it was a good way to deal with touts.

They may have outdone themselves this time.

Can anyone else picture an alarm going off in GAA headquarters yesterday after the criticism began, and then a message flashing up on big screens around the office;

ATTENTION TICKET STAFF:

TO PLAN B PLEASE, PLAN B!

Likewise. GAA are worse than useless.
Someone said about the ould lad up the mountain not wanting to get sky.
Why should he? These are our games. GAA are running a professional corporation and the players aren't paid and the punters are treated totally unfairly.

I got a double copy this morning as well. Same tickets, same seats, same order number.

Got an email 15 mins ago sayiing to destroy one set. It doesn't matter which set so both sets of tickets will work. I can see this causing problems on Saturday.

If you're chancing buying tickets from an unconfirmed source ye want to be in the ground early:eek:

But could you still be asked to leave if yours is a dud. Or is the persons name on it? Keystone Cops are nothing on this

In what sense?

I'm calm, I could have sold 12 tickets today to people and only 4 of them would get in.
They've known about the issue for hours now, a email/tweet/news soundbite should have been released.

Ah here.

You expect the GAA to jump right on top of a problem & address it directly, in an effective and sensible manner? Seriously like?

Pretending that things aren't a problem, sticking your head in the sand and ignoring it, until Joe Brolly/Joe Duffy/Bozo The Clown has a meltdown about it in on the national airwaves, are how we do things in this country.

Ya dig? :rolleyes:

He should probably get his arse to games then or listen on the radio like he always had done. Sky have added and not taken from the amount of games available to us.

We have such a propensity to whinge in this country about EVERY inconsequential matter. These are tickets to a sporting occasion. That's all it is. Not life or death.

The same clowns will vote for the gobdaw who gives a pothole and the n complain about things not working elsewhere in the State.

The worst part about this whole thing is how in a fortnight we will have to listen to the whining about All-Ireland tickets.

Heaven help us.

All Mayo clubs are getting their full allocation of tickets unlike last week.

I don't think that's the case at all.
The tickets I got were the ones I ordered (same ref number etc). The only issue is that I got them on the triple.

Yes, but if you were a tout.......

Would this "unprecedented demand" for the online services be caused by the fact they were allocating 2 or 3 tickets for every 1 ticket that was being bought online?

Doubt it. Heard that at one point (Sunday night I think) there was 78,000 people on tickets.ie trying to buy.

i think tickets.ie needs a ticketmaster style queuing system, looks far better than a dead website.

I doubt it. I don't think that people got any extra tickets. By extra, I mean more tickets than they had purchased, with different sections and rows and seat numbers on them. They just got duplicate copies of the original tickets, that they had already bought.

its a smokescreen, you will be so tied up with worrying and arguing about tickets, that Diarmuid Connolly will be left off tomorrow night with the excuse that he only pretended to punch Lee Keegan last Sunday and no one will be any the wiser :rolleyes:

Nothing personal against the bloke but if Diarmuid Connolly gets off, ye can have your tickets. I ain't going. That would really beggar belief. But having seen the goings on this week so far, I would not be surprised. No doubt Keegan is no Saint, but the rules are clear for a striking offence.

You can give your tickets to the lad up the mountain.

seanhynes

I'd rather he played,would much rather beat the best Dublin team available,there would be excuses and stuff thrown out if they lost it 'oh well ye beat us while we were missing our best forward' ,better to beat the best side available

but there is a rules difference between "striking" and "attempting to strike"
will not be surprised to see connolly get off
same as there is a difference between pulling down and pulling back for a black card

There is no difference between striking and attempting to strike in the rule book!

So why did you go to the match the first day, when Keane had his red card downgraded - rules are clear for a striking offence after all:rolleyes:

ahh no mr. keane changed all that. A serious rewrite of all the rules is needed. The rules are a joke.

Got there just ahead of me. Intent is as bad.
In terms of the best team available, rules are rules.

Fair point. Maybe this is the last straw.
Of all the rules. This is the one that's set in stone.
Striking or attempting to strike a player = red card. No questions.

BonnieSituation

Red card and 1 game suspension upheld now.

You can go to the game DTK now!

Unless he appeals tomorrow.

No actually the full allocation for clubs in Mayo is more in the region of 25,000

Tickets arrived yesterday although I am not overly confident that someone else doesn't have the same tickets as me.

Weird, my email from county board says just over 10k.

Why? The issue was with duplicates of the same tickets. It is HIGHLY improbable thst your tickets were issued twice.

P_Cash

U know, is there a gain here when duplications were sent also,

Suppose for an event, every every 4th order was sent out exact copies of tickets, duplications.

Suppose this was marketed and advertised very well.

Well, would anyone ever buy from a tout then, with a huge risk of been refused entry,

It wouldnt get rid of it entirely, but should stamp out a lot of selling tickets etc

no, your very wrong, that would be disastrous. People will still buy from touts

Have people living in Mayo got their tickets yet from tickets.ie ?

I ordered mine Sunday but nothing in the post as of yesterday. Maybe the people who got theirs yesterday live in Dublin and the rest will make their way in todays post hopefully.

The postcode wont make a bit of difference, An Post dont use it. I delivered loads of tickets.ie envelopes this morning, everyone got at least two envelopes. What a potential mess
