ALL IRELAND FOOTBALL FINAL TICKETS
Not surprisingly, there has been huge demand for tickets for the Football Final on the 22nd of September. Larry and Carmel Ryan (pictured) will hold a preliminary draw for tickets on Thursday night the 12th of September at 9.15pm.
If you have applied for a ticket for the match be in the Bar for that draw. If you are a paid-up member and want your name in the hat please let Larry/Carmel know as soon as possible. Up the Dubs and best of luck to the Crokes contingent!
Note: there will be NO DESIGNATED JUVENILE TICKETS. The cost of all stand tickets will be €80 and all Hill tickets will be €40.
One can only imagine the pressures involved for Croke Park in managing ticket allocations. Where's our net minder from some years past, Dan Nelligan, when you need someone to explain it all?
The figures below may differ somewhat for 2013 but they do help to illustrate the various demands on GAA tickets and what route the 82,300 tickets take each year.
