Season Tickets 2022

(Oldest Posts First)

Any word on season tickets for 2022. Would be handy as a Christmas present!

Or is there a chance the 2022 Championship could still be restructured at Congress in Feb? I would have thought that would be too late for 2022 no matter what proposal and how many votes it gets.

There was talk that they'll be renewed in November. So I take it we'll be getting emails soon enough.

Looks like season tickets are back ..... with a new improved price ....... €150

Other than being guaranteed an All Ireland ticket if your county is lucky enough to get there, there is not much value there......... unless they plan to increase the price of league games

Feck I remember them being around €80/€90 the first few years or am I imagining that?

Still great to have em back.

It is for the 4 Counties that regularly get to AI football Finals.
Looks like awful bad value to the rest of us.

That's true, maybe they could do a price scale, that would be fairer.

Still every county will get at least 7 games some will get 8 and the first round of the championship will be free.

Apparently it is not certain that an AI ticket will be included this year.

I think that the €150 covers D1 & 2 teams. They are usually cheaper for D 3 & 4 teams where admission prices are €15.

With the prices quoted it seems that Admission prices will increase for 2022.

Sure it's no good without the allireland tickets.

Surely if AI ticket is not included there is no reason to buy one. 7 x €20 = €140 for League games. So in theory u get first championship game for €10. Law of averages you will miss at least 1 league game so .........

I just don't get it. Wouldn't it be great to have big crowds at all league games instead of this approach. Probably make as much money ...... and I don't begrudge the gaa making money because it is important to run any organisation. I just think packed stadiums are a better way to go.

Season tickets are available lads, got an email this morning saying to be eligible for an allireland ticket if your team make the final then you can only miss 1 championship game.

I think the rule was that you had to attend 80% of your team's matches to be eligible for a ticket.

I think the old rule was 60% but they seem to have scrapped it in favour of giving you one opt out for Championship instead. Miss 2 or more Championship games and you won't get an AI final ticket if your team qualify. It is probably better as it will probably reduce the number of people travelling the length of the country for the league fixtures just to get their 60%. I assume this is to help try reduce the spread of Covid. They have also got rid of any hard copy tickets and also the cards, I assume this is also to stop them being passed around which might help reduce Covid spreading. The GAA seems fully set on going fully digital with the tickets, they've started to roll it out now at County Championship games, no more paying at the gate in a lot of counties.

I think it was something like 62% of all games league and championship you had to attend.

That's handy but iv had problems in the past with their scanners where as they scanned me into the game and it never showed up that I was at the game, with such tight margins I can see trouble ahead.

Does anyone know how you actually gain access to a match. Do you need a smart phone or can you print off a ticket like before. Maybe it's explained in the email but I can't see it.

I would think that you could use either your smart phone or you could print the ticket because all they'll be doing is scanning it at the turnstile anyway.

But I'd advise you check that your attendance has been updated before you leave the ground as some times it doesn't always go through.

The way i read it works like this to me. You pay the base fee of 150 euro that gives you access to all the league and first round of the Champo.

The changes look to me:

- Instead of going into your profile and printing tickets and the GAA taking the money from your bank account. You now need to go into your (ticketmaster) profile and pay for the tickets per match - so the onus is on you rather than the GAA - you are entitled as a season ticket holder to a ticket for all your Counties games in the particular code.

- Seems the GAA want people to download their tickets on their phone wallets and scan them that way, i did it a couple of times last year via Ticketmaster, they had the option of printing off the tickets or downloading them onto your phone wallet - i didi it both ways and no hassle- so i suspect both options will still be the case.

- All Ireland final tickets: The way i read it you are entitled to a ticket to the final if your country get there, provided you have bought a ticket for all your counties championship games - you are allowed one opt out, which is important as you probably have to tell them you are opting out as opposed to just not buying the ticket. The way i read it, the big change is you dont have to attend all the games and confirm attendance of "60%" to qualify for final tickets - you just have to buy them from the second round of the championship onwards, whether you go or not i dont think makes a difference doesn't seem like they will be tracking your attendance, just that you bought tickets.

Still a great deal - for counties with a good hope of getting to a final.

Great that its back.
