[youghalboi]

Have a girlfriend from donegal,her dad is an official with the local GAA club,shouldnt be too hard to get a hurling ticket from there allocation,cant see why they'd need it!

[Gwanyalanger]

All the prawn sandwich brigade will be up there again i suppose. Those who don't know wether the sliotar is pumped or stuffed ! While myself and more like me who was at every championship game and 3 league games will have to watch it in the pub.

[Aphex]

proper order too, keep the riff raff at bay...

[Rebelred]

the hunt has begun, phone calls to tyrone and down await

Too right. You'd be shocked at the amount of all ireland tickets floating around New York. I was at the republican convention a few years back and the amount of high rollers there that were off to watch KilKENNEDY shoot down those Cork Rebels was disgusting. Managed to get a ticket out of them for the ol fella who said he was embarrassed to be sat with them.

[wunhunglo]

All the prawn sandwich brigade .

Gwaytofawkwillya. there must have been twenty thousand 'supporters' up in Dublin last september without tickets. About fifty thousand Cork 'supporters' inside the ground. Now take your time......tell me how many belong to the prawn brigade. The vast fawking majority by your reckoning. You'd have a great atmosphere altogether if the crowd who followed the league games were only allowed tickets.

I'm flying home for the final. Will i get a ticket ? Too fawking right i will. Where ? No idea but by fawk i'll get one. Thank fawk for that Galway gent who gave me a ticket last year.

Tell me how many games must one go to during the league to be a true Cork supporter. Well................ .that's right............... i'm off now to walk the dog and calm down a bit.


Anyone buying or selling tickets........buyin g or selling......

I have to say, playing Galway last year made it much more difficult to find tickets, as they brought a decent supporting contingent with them for the weekend! O'Connell street that morning was chaos! Kilkenny have a far smaller supporter base, making tickets that little bit easier for the average corkonian to find on the day in Dublin.

The nightmare scenario in the peil is Dublin reaching the final, making all corporate tickets impossible to get for those of us outside the pale, here's hoping Mayo or Laois or even little Westmeath will be our opponents for that (yes, I do believe we have what it takes to beat kerry again!)

[Redshirter]

To get a Ticket for The All Ireland Hurling Final it is not a qustion of what you know about Hurling it is a qustion of who you know

[mushypea]

Don't think you should get a ticked if you haven't been to the matches....

[Johnnyc]

they should have some system like having stubs from other games, but they probably never will. Anyway I'll do anything for to get a ticket as usual. Especially going for a three in a row. I don't want to tempt fate but I did say at the start of the year Waterford were the only team who could beat us.

If the cats get through they'll want to stop us like we stopped them in 2004. If Clare get through it will be a titanic battle too.

[Johnnyc]

here i am just after finding one!

Can you expand on that there. What's the average attendance at league games ???? A few hundred here and there. Yeah that will fill Croker all right. Keep your eye out for a ticket for myself will ya. Must be loads floating around there by the island and Glounthane.

[I will ya]

I have my two tickets sorted. I will get them off my club. I am down on the pitch 3 nights a week, coaching. I think all people like me should get first refusal on tickets, cause we keep the gaa going. I hear what your saying about the prawn brigade and true thats a disgrace, but i was in Croke Park last Sunday and they were an awful lot of spare seats around. People dont want the hassle to travel to Dublin for a semi, but they are the people then who will be crying when they cant get a ticket. A neighbour of mine is begging me to get him a ticket. I went out to my car yesterday, half time of the Kilkenny Clare game. Neighbpour out there washing his car. He asked me was I watching the match. I said of course i am. He asked me then what i thought of the Chelsea goal?? I said , what... I am watching the hurling match, to which he replied, what hurling match.. He didnt know it was on or who was playing, and he wants me to get him a ticket... I think not.

Keep the faith and travel anyway. I was going into the ground 2 years ago, cause i got 2 tickets for a muppet who was in Quinns before the game. He texted me at 2pm saying he wasnt going to bother going in and that he would stay in quinns. I met a gang from Cork and gave them the tickets. 8 of them there, and they had not tickets that morning and got 9. They paid for my 2 but only needed 1.

[PatMan]

That is something the GAA are looking at doing - so I heard from a 'source'... Unfortunately, said source was unable to supply me any tickets!

[Redshirter]

I am also a football fan but i would not watch Chelsea playing if you paid me to as their supporters are the most Anti Irish football supporters there is and that includes the Glasgow Rangers supporters

And this has what to do with getting an All Ireland Ticket?

Why don't ye apply to ye're clubs?

[Rebelred]

Why don't ye apply to ye're clubs?
how many people here are actually club members? Emurf you know yourself how tickets dry up for the final. As an example, my own club is Junior A in hurling and football and therefore will get 14 tickets for both, a total of 28 tickets.There's over 115 members in the club (i'm the registrar), and you can bet your life that applications for the final will top 60, so your chances are limited immediately there. Its one of the reasons I always look north for hurling tickets

[Chelsea Hotel #2]

Right or wrong, there are always tickets to be had. No Scalping either. Try the pubs around croker on the day. No problem ever.

Well Holy Shit...'Tis yourself...And damn right too, you are...I broke 15 bones in my body, but I'm still going to Crokers next Sunday...for the Kingdom, of course...

you'll be easy to spot, the only kerry supporter willing to shell out the money to get there

Well to be honest I have no sympathy for people who can't fork out €50 to join their local club. They're the people who will stand on the terrace and give out about certain players. Remember membership subs go to running clubs and provide facilities for the players of tomorrow so if these so called supporters want to follow cork in the future they should be investing now.
As regard the number of tickets clubs get I agree it's preety small.We have a a great tickets secretary who somehow always magages to look after everyone. Over the years he has built up contacts with clubs in 5 or 6 other counties.

[leeland]

I don't hold with this absolutist line that if you aren't a member of a club then you aren't entitled to a ticket. I know people who are members of a club, never go a Cork match but are going to the final. There are plenty of people who aren't members of clubs but who spend fortunes following Cork, they are the people in Limerick and Killarney and Thurles and up to Croker for the quarter finals. I think it's great that people who aren't members of clubs travel in such large numbers to support Cork, and are bigger and better Cork supporters than many club members.
We have an impossible situation with regards to tickets and there really isn't a totally fair way of doing it.
I'm a member of a club, won't get one from my club, but i've been contacting everyone i can think of who might come across a ticket, as i do every year, and i'll be in the stadium for the final, as i am every year Cork play

I know the story emurf,I'm registrar with my own club.This year's membership didn't even cover the cost of sanding and spiking the pitch.If it weren't for the weekly lotto,which is very well run, then our club simply could not exist.

Still hunting for a ticket aswell

[D number 10]

my first all ireland final was in 1983 when chriost ri were polaying in the colleges final.. since then ive been at every final cork have been playing in... of course i was brought by the old fella. the thing is it never seems to amaze me that you will get a ticket , of course you must want to get a ticket and not expect one to be handed to you. there is always a pub where you will find a ticket. a feen who knows a feen with one.. the key is to travel and be decked out in your colours, then people dont have a problem handing over spare tickets at face value... fair play to people who do that by the way... long may it continue

ok well heres my tip to get a ticket.
the galway feens are always good for a few tickets.
there is a train from galway. if your driving leave the car in kildare. find out what time the train arrives from galway in kildare and get on it. i passed through the train looking for tickets. by the time i got to hueston i had 3.

Well i got my ticket"s" today !:D I wouldn't know how many supporters had no tickets up there last year. Only a boring coont would know that!
You can be a supporter and never leave your sitting room. Just think the GAA should be more loyal to those who support it throughout the year. Cork & Killkenny got 22,000 tickets between them this year. Even after other clubs get their allocation wouldn't that leave the majority with the prawn sandwich brigade ??

[Rebelred]

got my ticket from the club last night thankfully.5 of us going up and I'm the only one with a ticket so far

[BlueSkies]

Got my ticket today, Cusack stand. Can't fuckin wait.

hill aswell.Know a friend who's in the hill too but not sure if he's in the same section or not.

[emurf]

Eh the Hill is a Terrace. ie. No sections ,go where u want.A definite fitzy

[Rebelred]

Eh the Hill is a Terrace. ie. No sections ,go where u want.A definite fitzy
eh, no! The Hill is a terrace but it is subdivided into 4 sections,A B C and D.
Trust me, I was in section B last year.

so the fitzy sir,is on you

[emurf]

I was there too SIR and I know u can go from one section to another

[Rebelred]

I was there too SIR and I know u can go from one section to another
so you're admitting there are sections? you're original post said:

Eh the Hill is a Terrace. ie. No sections

make up your mind man. And the sections were fully enforced last year.I had a friend in a different section to me last year who tried to get into section B with me and was refused entry at the gate,he had to go into a Gate for his own Section.Its a crowd control measure,works quite well too

[mithrandir]

Upper Cusack, Section 708, beautiful :smile:

[Ringy]

Theres been more posts on this thread than there was at the Down league match this year.(which I was at I must add)
As you can tell Im very like Colm O'Rourke bitter, twisted and jealous as im still ticketless at the moment.
Oh and if anyone is feeling sorry and wants to give me a ticket PM me, any chance? NO. Worth a shot anyway.
