Estimates for tomorrow ypped to 40,000+ BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3665 - 20/06/2025 15:46:07 2619506 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "Estimates for tomorrow ypped to 40,000+" I'd be surprised if there wasn't more than that there…Barney …Dublin footballers showing promising signs and the greatest hurling team of all time on show…!!!! ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 4135 - 20/06/2025 17:22:20 2619518 Link
Replying To Seanfanbocht: "21% year-on-year rise in attendances for this year's All-Ireland senior football round games. In one of the best championship in recent times, crowds have been flocking to games being played under the new rules. I'd estimate around 240,000 this year." Yet we had people in this very thread claiming "crowds down across the board" only a few posts ago... CastleBravo (Meath) - Posts: 1686 - 20/06/2025 18:22:30 2619526 Link
Replying To ForeverBlue2: "I'd be surprised if there wasn't more than that there…Barney …Dublin footballers showing promising signs and the greatest hurling team of all time on show…!!!!" Unfortunately the latter will draw similar numbers from Limerick as Dublin would bring to Limerick if playing Limerick footballers. Good weather promised, knockout games so might be biggest crowd of year. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3665 - 20/06/2025 20:33:18 2619534 Link

No sign of our Limerick friend to tell how great the Limerick support is? The miserly crowd on Saturday said it all. But sure, they'll all be up for the semi as they had the train booked! ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1405 - 23/06/2025 21:23:09 2620504 Link
Replying To Seanfanbocht: "90,000 at football matches! 1947 won't like that!" When did Limerick/Dublin become a football match… ? Under 13 k on average at 7 matches is absolutely nothing to write home about…! All knockout games poorly enough attended ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 4135 - 24/06/2025 06:56:29 2620525 Link
Unholy mess regarding tickets for Dublin v Cork. Those of us with Parnell passes okay, Season ticket holders will have theirs. After that seems to be confusion regarding club allocation. Apparently Dublin clubs haven't been doing individual applications for a few years? I assume they will all look for tickets for this as they would for football semi/final. Cork supporters seem to be in bigger quandry as hear the clubs don't do orders at all?? GAA really needs to be taking back control of ticketing for big games like this. Might be awkward for club secretaries but Cork and Dublin clubs should have first dibs after county passes and season tickets. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3665 - 24/06/2025 08:28:59 2620533 Link

Wish we had that problem.... but I suppose it's easier for Clubs and Co Boards to have most tickets off on general pubkic sale.

The most expensive ticketing site for supporters, as well as the least user friendly website I've ever used for tickets. Ticketmaster gives you a really low amount of tickets you can select as well when you go into the site for a match, trying to give the impression that there are very few tickets left available, when you know there are loads of good seats still going. I logged in for the Leinster Hurling Final / Joe Mc Final and it was saying 'low availability' for the game and I could only select tickets for down low, right in the corners of the ground. It was to be a wet day so I just didn't bother buying the tickets. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13830 - 24/06/2025 11:04:03 2620599 Link

I have PP and you get directed there to get ticket and a few times its taken hours to get them due to their not recognising my sign in after 14 years! What they also do is if you have a PP or ST or other county equivalent you'll get decent lower Hogan for league and then be up in the corner for the big games!

Have a PP myself as well for the Dubs games. It's a terrace one though, so at least they manage to be consistent in where I get my tickets for. But in this day and age to be still reliant on ticketmaster is scandalous. GAA used to use tickets.ie who at the time, were far more efficient and didn't gouge the buyer like ticketmaster do.

Full house expected for the Cork v Dublin hurling semi final. The Dublin footballers don't even get full houses for their semi final anymore. We'll done to the hurling fans for supporting their teams DublinBrian (Dublin) - Posts: 15 - 24/06/2025 18:25:22 2620787 Link
Replying To CastleBravo: "Yet we had people in this very thread claiming "crowds down across the board" only a few posts ago..." Football attendances for the last 5 years fell but thanks to the new rules there has been a significant bounce this year v 2024 numbers but still well off the 2020 figures . So many matchs on so quickly has had a big impact in both hurling and football, many people cant afford a day out every weekend or second weekend even . A less condensed season with finals in early August would help people space out the costs of going to fixtures. I was one of many Limerick supporters who cant afford to go to all the hurling games and took a chance and didnt go to dublin last saturday, best of luck to Dublin in semi final OpenStand (Limerick) - Posts: 756 - 24/06/2025 18:47:59 2620790 Link

Replying To DublinBrian: "Full house expected for the Cork v Dublin hurling semi final. The Dublin footballers don't even get full houses for their semi final anymore. We'll done to the hurling fans for supporting their teams" Delighted to see this, I am bringing my Wexican wife and children for the day out. If they don't cheer for Dublin they can make their own way home. I don't see any problem with Ticketmaster, there is no booking fee? Honestly, I've never agreed with the "tickets through the clubs" mindset. I am not a member of a club in Dublin and would I hope get a ticket through my club in Wexford if Dublin got to an All-Ireland (given I am from Dublin and coaching a team in the club), but I don't think that is a given. There are people in our club who haven't gone to a Wexford match since the 2019 All-Ireland Semi Final yet I know if Wexford ever got to an All-Ireland final they would be shouting about ticket distribution. Yet I know people in Wexford who get to way more Wexford matches who might not be actively involved in clubs but might just fall shy of getting to enough games to justify a season ticket. I don't know what the best way is but I am not convinced of distributing them through the clubs either. I also fundamentally disagree with every club in the country getting tickets for All-Ireland finals, especially I do not agree with clubs who do not field a hurling team getting tickets for the hurling and vice-versa. You have no right to an allocation for a game you do not promote. Anyway, its great to see a sell-out if it actually is one so far out.
