Once again if you complain so much about ticket prices then why do you attend so many games and pay the prices if you dislike the prices charged so much?

because i love going to these games and get great enjoyment - but i know many who dont go due to the prices - €10 for senior citizens and students for a county final is shocking

also i have the club season ticket - pay €100 and get access to all limerick club games for the season, i end up going to more games because of it - but €10 for senior citizens and students is too dear - a guy going with wife and two 18-20 year olds would be paying €50, leave the student at a fiver for petes sake

€10 is excellent value for a top class club game especially if its division 1A and you are looking at games at the top level of the sport in an amateur sense.
€10 isn't too much for junior games.

But down here they are charging €10 for a junior hurling REPLAY - the 4th tier of limerick hurling - as good as it was its not a top class club game , €5 is enough

janesboro (Limerick) - Posts:718 - 24/10/2016 12:23:28€10 for a county final is perfectly acceptable. I don't know many who will complain about prices for games especially county finals or knockout stages where price is a tenner.
But its your choice to go to so many games. If you feel the prices are too high then don't go to as many games.

janesboro (Limerick) - Posts:718 - 24/10/2016 12:28:13 You assume the man with the wife and 2 18-20 year olds would be paying for all. That's not the case and a tenner for students isn't too much. These ticket prices help fund the games. If people are not willing to pay a tenner prices going down to a fiver will not boost the attendances so much that the money will be made back.

Honestly Janesboro you'd be as well talking to the wall. Don't waste your time, you're gonna get the same response every time.

Why no giving out to Janesboro for his constant complaining about ticket prices for hundreds of games when he could choose not to attend so many if he felt that a tenner was too much to pay in.

Also Ormo, only noticing you called me a hypocrite. I can only assume you have no comprehension of what a hypocrite is. No hypocrisy in anything I've said.

He/She said they have a season ticket. Merely repeating "go to less games" is moronic.
Breffni39 (Cavan) - Posts:10573 - 24/10/2016 16:55:54Janesboro complains regularly about ticket prices saying they are too expensive. A tenner isn't expensive. I see that wasted on many things worse than an hours plus entertainment of a game.

Ormond €10 for a county final is perfectly acceptable. -yes it is for adults but not for seniors or students
 You assume the man with the wife and 2 18-20 year olds would be paying for all. in most cases that usually is the case either way its still costing €50 - its too much

janesboro (Limerick) - Posts:719 - 24/10/2016 21:23:54 €10 for students is more than acceptable. That's about 2 pints and students will spend multiples of a tenner on a night out every week while in uni.
Again you are assuming that the man will be paying for entry for his wife and sons. It isn't too much.


Replying To perfect10: "so i heard yesterday morning that entry in to our county final was 20 euro,and decided not to bother going.
i get to quite a few club matches most years but due to other commitments this year (including a lot of overseas work) i decided i wouldnt have time. but i am wondering should the cost of entry to club matches be standardised across the board?why should a county final in one county be cheaper than another?
20 seems outlandish to me."
Was there not 3 county finals on for that price? Granted you may not want to attend all of.them but that's your choice.
I guess sometimes a lot of people forget they do have choices 4 Pints v 3 County Finals. Not saying everyone has that choice and it would be good to ensure up to minors and seniors are looked after.
zinny (Wexford) - Posts:315 - 25/10/2016 00:23:17 Every county is different and market concerns will be different. Demand for tickets will be different and as a result price cant be standardised.

I hadn't called you Ormo in this thread before you called me a hypocrite. Well I'm absolutely not a hypocrite anyway but surprised admin allows you to repeatedly call me such names.
I have feelings too you know.
Breffni39 (Cavan) - Posts:10575 - 25/10/2016 10:24:47If you have feelings then why across various threads do you call me ormo when you know that upsets my feelings? Therefore by calling me ormo which you have on multiple occasions in multiple threads

either way somebody is paying it - €10 for students and seniors for a county final is a disgrace -fiver is plenty

maybe so but if a game costs 2 pints vis a vis 1 pint (5 euro) they are less likely to go,
dont matter a damn to me coz i have season ticket which had paid for itself weeks ago so any game from now on are effectively free but €10 for seniors and oaps is too much as is €10 for a junior hurling replay and €8 for a second replay (this is 4th tier hurling lads come on) , all junior games in limerick up to then are €5 which is fine-eave it at that WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO ATTEND

janesboro (Limerick) - Posts:722 - 25/10/2016 12:35:50 €10 is not too high a ticket. If you reduce prices 50% at every level you reduce income considerably and where exactly do you make that funding gap up from as if people are not attending if tickets cost a tenner changing to a fiver wont make them go.

MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts:10121 - 25/10/2016 13:25:03I averaged. Pints are 4-5 and students will pay multiples of a tenner on a night out so Janesboro saying students should only be paying a fiver is a bit much. You need to make income from these games and if people wont pay a tenner to attend changing to a fiver wont increase the attendance so much that more money will be made. Its losing income needlessly Now if it was 25-30 per person you could argue differently but it isn't. A tenner for a game isn't too much.

12 Euros or £10 stg into the Ulster Club hurling final, official attendance was 5,890 so with children would give an attendance of 7,000

This Orm fella is brilliant. To him it is amazing that 99.9% of people on here are always wrong no matter what the topic.

Or maybe it's the 0.1%, ie him, that is wrong? Nah surely not.

OK so close the thread, debate is over folks. Ormo has said the same thing over and over and over again without backing it up so clearly admission prices should not be lowered anywhere.
