My heads going to go very shortly… only allows me one ticket and no juvenile on offer

Kerry people don’t usually appear til later on but Mayo is really a big draw for them surely.

Given the price of fuel, hotels in Dublin and the cost of living in general it really is time the GAA showed more consideration for fans. What was the sense is dragging Clare and Roscommon to Croke Park last weekend? Or Kildare and Mayo for that matter. Cork and Dublin could probably be somewhere neutral as well, although obviously I’m sure the Cork lads are buzzing to get playing in Croker as are all the teams that don’t get there too often.

Yeah there is a case for provincial grounds, at least up until semis anyway.

Why not Breffni Park for Armagh Galway?

Kerry Mayo in Limerick. I’d say you’d be more likely to fill Limerick (44k) than get 44k fans from Kerry/Mayo to Croke Park, given the cost of fuel, lack of hotels etc.

Dublin Cork in Thurles.
Derry Clare in Castlebar/Sligo.

Dublin is bunged with other events, lack of hotels, traffic headaches , and things are more expensive. Why not have these QFs in provincial grounds, so more people can afford to go, and might even make a weekend out of it?

 

[Wee man]

There is. It was implemented last year re: Covid restrictions. Club allocated the tickets to members and members downloaded them and paid for them via ticketmaster. They have chosen not to in these cases. Anyone know what they did re: Ulster Final tickets?

Then it makes even less sense.
Not to mention the loss of spectacle. Maybe it’s just me but the sight of blocks of colour within the stadium added to the occasion and grouping fellow fans together is bound to add to the atmosphere. The way it’s being done there will be splinter groups of fans pocketed all over the place.

Season tickets holders actually getting decent tickets for the match

Great seats, halfway line,no bother getting them either

To be honest I hate booing and jeering myself. But lost an awful lot of respect for Murphy yesterday because of his antics.

Folks (sorry AB just picking up from your post as it's the first I've stopped at after coming on) I've just finally gotten to watch the slaughter.......I mean annihilation of Donegal and of course the boos are very obvious, but am I imagining boos when Ethan got on the ball and goes on a run. I know the booing is idiotic and damn stupid whatever the reason, but what on earth did Ethan do? Was it something in the warm up that the game footage didn't mention or am I just imagining it - remember I did share some of the @PatMustard mouldy cheese!!!!

The disenfranchisement of the clubs is going to be the undoing of our great association. ‘ Don’t matter if you’re a member of a club - just get online and order…….:fuxk the club’ … the administration is trumping the association!!! Shameful.

I don't agree I as a full paid member never got tickets from the club always seemed to be the usuals who got the 'luck' of the draw back in the glory days. I am glad it's done online now

I heard them too. If nobody else heard them, I think we need to lay off that cheese.

I do think all games until semi finals should be played outside croker though.

Read somewhere that he apparently spat water in Murphy's face....not sure when

Never again
I’ve a great seat but if I want to exchange to enable me to bring the wife and children they’re putting me two rows from the front in the corner of the cusack.
Season ticket not worth it .. I’ve had one from the start and each year they just made a joke out of it

Would love to know what game you never got a ticket in the past from your club as up until all-Ireland final clubs got as much tickets as they wanted. The AI has always been difficult to get tickets and always been a draw for tickets if demand exceeded supply. The key thing for me is that club distribution ensured that you could get your family in together (with kids) and sit beside your friends or club mates. That now is unfortunately gone forever with this model. Why should any of us now pay the annual subscription to the GAA (despite it only being a few euros). What benefit do we get from this subscription now?

Another example of not looking after a true Gael. The GAA should be ashamed of themselves

 

[Peter grimes]

On the booing of Ethan I genuinely thought that was Armagh fans shouting “shoot!”

On the overall booing and whistling I don’t like either. I thought the booing of Murphy was initially booing of time wasting where Donegal went down “injured” and then took an age over the free twice during the black card period. Not that that justifies it.

Not a fan of the ole either.

I am old fashioned. Though increasingly more old than fashionable.

On the subject of complaining and being old fashioned the ticket system is very genuinely shit.

In the unlikely event of Armagh reaching the final it will be worth it, at least mine will

Are you talking about the season ticket or club membership?

 

[DooReg]

Your club membership includes a cost to be an official Gaa member. No need for that now.

 

[Ouch It’s Francie]

I think they’ll use the same policy as last year. Clubs will get their allocation and members will be able to pay online via the GAA ticketmaster account manager site for them. Note this is different than the normal ticketmaster site. I was contacted when the club allocated me tickets and they appear in “My Invoices”. I’m presuming for the next games they’ll revert to that.
