GAA announce bumper ticket deal for group stages of All-Ireland championship

SportsJOE

The GAA have announced a bumper three-for-two ticket deal for supporters ahead of the group stages of the All-Ireland senior football championship and the Tailteann Cup.

With the provincial championships coming to a conclusion this weekend, the All-Ireland series is only just around the corner.

The GAA have announced a ticket-deal which will reduce the cost for supporters who are planning to support their county through the group stages.

The association had come under some fire over what were perceived as costly ticket prices for the provincial games, with a stand ticket to this Sunday’s Leinster SFC final between Louth and Dublin setting you back 40, for example.

But the group stages will present better value for supporters with individual tickets costing a fraction of that, at €25 each.

Meanwhile, the three-for-two deal will grant supporters access to three of their county’s games for €50, rather than €75, amounting to a saving of €25.

Individual juvenile tickets will cost 5 for the games though they have to be purchases alongside an adult ticket.

This is seen as a response from the GAA to the falling attendances this summer, which has been a widespread occurrence this year.

You can see the arrangement below, or via the Ticketmaster website.

The three-for-two deal will also extend into the Tailteann Cup, where individual tickets are priced at 15 (30 for access to all three games in the group stages.)
