Season Ticket 2023

    Jaysus that brings back a bad aul memory. I travelled to Nowlan Park in 2019 and made sure to video my ticket being scanned and also had my driving license in shot the whole time because of issues with scanners the prior 3 years. Didn't get scanned so I sent the vid to the Season Ticket email to get it updated. They then told me that that still wasn't proof of my attendance. It was only when I mentioned I'd be probably making a complaint to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission that it magically was updated.

    I'd never get thick with customer service in any capacity but it took everything I had to be cordial in spite of being called basically called a liar for travelling down to Kilkenny on a Sunday.

    Is this for football season tickets only? I see them listed on my hurling account, but just comes up as unavailable when I click in....

    I'm not sure to be honest, it came up for me but the amount of tickets available wasn't huge.

    What's the story with seating groups nowadays ??

    The Munster Championship tickets will be available very soon and would like to be seated in a group



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,264 ✭✭✭SqueakyKneecap


    For croker it let's you pick the seats so you can organise a group but the only way to guarantee a group is if one account holder is paying for the full group on their account.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,538 ✭✭✭dobman88


    1 football ticket for Saturday and Sunday league finals available. Pm email or WhatsApp and I'll send them on



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,538 ✭✭✭dobman88

  • Registered Users Posts: 561 ✭✭✭C4000


    They are there alright, under 'Redeem league tickets' there should be a subheading AHL Roinn 1 final......



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,175 ✭✭✭diceyreilly


    Any late spare tickets for todays finals for ST holders not attending.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,932 ✭✭✭Trampas


    Leinster semi final tickets available to buy



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,584 ✭✭✭irishgeo


    Just double checking I can opt out of one championship game by not buying a ticket and still qualify for an Ireland ticket.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,272 ✭✭✭✭km79


    yep still just the one opt out



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,175 ✭✭✭diceyreilly


    Yeah. Had to opt of Leinster semi final. Just didn’t buy. Was grand for next match.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,869 ✭✭✭Happyilylost


    Anyone get an email/able to buy tickets for the hurling in Semple stadium or football qualifiers yet? When I go into "redeem tickets" I get "access denied" just want to make sure everyone is getting the same!



  • Registered Users Posts: 138 ✭✭gingerhousewife


    Nope, not available yet. Maybe at 10am when the others go on sale



  • Registered Users Posts: 138 ✭✭gingerhousewife


    Up now



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,869 ✭✭✭Happyilylost




  • Registered Users Posts: 1,869 ✭✭✭Happyilylost


    Offered the uncovered North Stand for the Hurling. Have to wonder the point of a season ticket at this stage...... Football match is GA so no assigned seat or even a guarantee of a seat for Galway vs Mayo...



  • Registered Users Posts: 561 ✭✭✭C4000


    North stand is far better for watching a match than the Mackey.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,869 ✭✭✭Happyilylost


    Forecast for Limerick on Saturday is not pleasant....



  • Registered Users Posts: 126 ✭✭johnjohn3423


    As we all know it's a money making racket not to reward loyal fans. The only reason I get it, is the guaranteed final ticket if needed. With Irish weather its unreal a uncovered stand ticket is the same price as a covered one.

    Been to every single game this year, league included, and my reward for that is to pay the same price as someone sitting in covered stand who probably hasn't gone to half as many games, to get pissed on for 4+ hours judging from the forecast (if I decide to show up for the first game).

    Really not happy with there being no allocation for covered stand for ST holders, not even first come first served.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,264 ✭✭✭SqueakyKneecap


    On the other hand there'd be more moaning if people were put behind the poles or at the back of the Mackey. I think unfortunately the seated terrace was the only feasible option to give all season ticketers a decent vantage point for the two games. As for getting soaked at matches, as much as I have gripes with the GAA there's not much they can do about the weather.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,869 ✭✭✭Happyilylost


    To be fair Squeaky up until this year the Season ticket for me had 4 main benefits:

    A ticket for all games (not that Galway were going to be selling out a league game in February but still!)

    A stand ticket (unless the total number of season ticket holders surpassed the capacity of stand, then first come first served)

    An All Ireland ticket.

    Price

    Now I'll say straight off I'm a terrace person so sitting in the stand for me was never a big issue. But some older people were buying a season ticket for that basis alone. For whatever reason this year and since Ticketmaster have taken the overall running of things Season Ticket has basically downed tools. All round robin games in Football were GA. So let alone not an assigned seat but maybe not a seat at all. And how can the GAA think it's fair for someone to sitting in a dry stand with a seat paying the same as a person standing for a few hours on a wet terrace. Terrace tickets should be cheaper and always have been.

    I understand the drawbacks of the Mackey but I would ask who did get seats in there?? All tickets are sold out on Ticketmaster, Season ticket only offered me a North Stand... so who was offered Mackey? Maybe Clare/Dublin/Players/County Boards got them but it doesn't sit right with me. Up until this year I felt I was being rewarded for loyalty. But between the price increase and the way tickets are allocated it seems to me season ticket holders are being treated much the same as the "going to the odd game when it suits" punter.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,264 ✭✭✭SqueakyKneecap


    I think Mackey is now only for club/delegate allocations. In an ideal world there'd have been an allotment of the covered stand for elderly/limited mobility STers but this is the GAA. The same organisation won't sell tickets on matchday since covid which is a form of ageism imo.

    The ST has also always been a source of major issues too. I travelled the length and breadth of the country for the last decade following the hurlers/footballers and sometimes you'd be called a liar for not attending games even if you had video proof of getting your card scanned at the game. Mayo fans got national attention for the issue (quite rightly too). GAA never really did anything about it and their customer service were horrible about correcting attendances. This was when you'd need the 60% minimum to qualify. I certainly hope I don't come across as a season ticket defender here.

    I do agree 100% that the GAA have downed tools for the season ticket. No seating groups is ridiculous and I get the sense they want to get rid of the scheme in the near future so that they'll be able to have more final tickets for sponsors, which in turn will water down the atmosphere almost as much as pricing supporters out of going to games.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,733 ✭✭✭Grats


    Another reason why the two quarter finals should not be fixed for Limerick.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 292 ✭✭Bobby_Bolivia


    At AI QF stage, especially when I'm going to be sat in the stadium for 4.5 hours to get my monies worth - I think the least I could expect as a Season Ticket holder who has been at every game this season is a bit of cover from the forecast rain.

    I think it's pretty shambolic that we have an AI QF in a stadium where we have 1 covered stand. And that we can't look after some amount of the people who have followed their counties every game this year.

    Given the proximity of Gaelic Grounds to Clare vs Dublin, we may as well have used Thurles for these, as Clare have a huge advantage as opposed to Dublin, it's basically a home venue for them when you consider the proximity.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,932 ✭✭✭Trampas


    No seat selection for Dublin vs Mayo game. Didn’t seem to be an exchange also. Got 307 area.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,538 ✭✭✭dobman88


    Good section to get. Will be between the 45 and halfway line. We were there for the all Ireland last year.

    Got 305 for the Tyrone game so just the other side.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,932 ✭✭✭Trampas


    I’ve been a Dublin season ticket since the first year. First time since the move to ticketmaster that we couldn’t select a seat and or even exchange it to be closer to others.

    The GAA are really intent on dumbing down the season ticket to the point that it's not worth it anymore. Same with the packages they used to do - both QF double headers & both semi finals which was great for anyone who wanted to go to the whole lot or to split with a friend whose team was on the other side of the draw. You'd expect that these are the people that the GAA should be trying to accommodate rather than considering them too much hassle



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,538 ✭✭✭dobman88


    Yeah, there's really no benefit to being a ST holder any more except the guaranteed final ticket if your county gets there and its becoming harder to justify the cost just for that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,048 ✭✭✭Charles Babbage


    There was an email about ticket exchange today, a day after they the season tickets were available. Not quite a well coordinated process.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 909 ✭✭✭munsterdevil


    It all depends on where you're from. If you were from Limerick or Clare it was great this year as Munster Final tickets were scarce.

    Other tickets you receive are also placed in a good vantage point (I've always been placed between the 65 and midfield). So, it's still well worth it; for me anyway.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,175 ✭✭✭diceyreilly


    Still no sign of tickets for the semi? Gen sale in a few hours



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,932 ✭✭✭Trampas


    I was just thinking that myself. Even signed in to see if they be available at 9 but I guess not. Will try at 10

    Working again this morning. Got mine sorted.



  • Registered Users Posts: 42 laymansterms


    I went on this morning to download my ticket but its not there.

    Is anyone else having this issue or am I missing something? Galway ST if that makes any difference.

    Any help would be appreciated.
