In fairness to the Cork Hurling supporters - they nearly sold out Croke Park on their own.

All Ireland Final stand tickets will be €100
Only a matter of time before the Terrace tickets go to €75

For next season, surely it is time for the GAA to introduce a Family ticket - 2 adults and 2 children etc.?

In general, I mean,
I know there are juvenile, student and OAP ticket prices but a family ticket works in other sports and definitely worth bringing it in for GAA.

I would think it is near impossible for a FAMILY to get 4 tickets for an All Ireland Final.
People are lucky to get 1 ticket for an AI Final.

Looking at the AI Hurling Semi Final where Cork had approx 70,000 fans, which in it self is remarkable.
I was looking at the ticket breakdown for Finals...:
59,212 - county allocations
10,528 - Premium & Corporate
2,594 - Season Tickets
2,358 - Term Tickets
1,666 - Schools
1,250 - Sponsors
820 - Staff & Sub Committees
800 - Ard Chomhairle & GAA Presidents
480 - Overseas
380 - Provinces
258 - Press
240 - Third Level
228 - National Referee Panel
212 - Rounders/Handball
200 - Croke Park Residents
188 - Mini Games
148 - Match day teams
140 - Camogie
100 - Ladies Football
74 - Tv & Radio
70 - Jubilee Team
60 - Sport Ireland

Good idea as there's usually lots of families of four who attend the All Ireland finals!!!!!!! Mind boggling stuff

They should do that but they won't. Prices should be lowered across the board as they are too high, attending matches is a very expensive day out. There is no point complaining about ticket prices however because the GAA don't care.

Prices won't be lowered, they will continue to increase. What was the need for the GAA to put an extra €5 on All Ireland Hurling semi final tickets when those attendances are already very profitable due to the high level of attendance?? That is super capitalism.

Call a spade a spade the GAA is a greedy, self serving organisation for whom maximising profits is their driving motivation. The cost of going to matches has priced a lot of people out and that is to the eternal shame of the GAA because it is against the principles on which the organisation was founded.

It definitely looks that way. They need to be very careful though.

I think once you hit the €100 threshold for an AI Final ticket, there then becomes no limit. 110, 125 wont be far away.

Family Tickets are a great idea but as you say, they wont introduce, I reckon.

They got The GAA part right, what it stood for was the Grab All Association. Concert season will be upon us soon after we get the football and hurling finished asap. More money for the boys who can't even keep the score.
