GAA Season Ticket

The GAA Season Ticket is county specific & code specific, so that means you need one for hurling and one for football.

The Ticket provides entry to the stand for one person at all of your county’s Allianz GAA National League matches & GAA Senior Championship matches. You can buy the Ticket on-line only and you will need a credit card or Laser Card to do so.

You pay an initial base price of €75 that includes all of your county’s League round matches plus the opening Championship match. Your credit card or Laser Card will then be charged for each subsequent match that your county plays in whether you attend or not.

In the event that your county reaches the GAA Championship All-Ireland Final, only those dedicated supporters who have made good use of the Ticket will be guaranteed entry. In order to qualify for an All-Ireland Final ticket you must attend 60% or more of the total number of matches your county plays in the League & Championship in 2009. A table on the GAA website illustrates this.
