I disagree. But I don’t really give a shit about entitlements either to be honest.
I am, but haven’t played since minor and not really had anything directly to do with the club since then either.

You can disagree all you want, that’s the way th GAA is run. Of course plebs like you and bandage get tickets ahead of more deserving people than you, that will always happen. Does not make it right though.
This “deserving people” thing never fails to get me, surely “deserving people” have ways and means of getting tickets. Baffles me to be honest.
In fairness, there’s always a significant proportion of “fans” that probably haven’t been to a game all year, or just climbed aboard for the semi, dubs especially. Wouldn’t begrudge @Mac a ticket ahead of any of them, and I doubt he is taking a ticket off a fan that has attended games all year as they will get one anyway.
I’ve yet to meet a genuine GAA follower who couldn’t get their hands on a ticket for a match of any great importance.
Agreed-people who only go to AI semis and finals may struggle alright once the bandwagon is in full swing.
I’m not a pleb, Kevin. I’ll thank you to apologise for that nasty remark.
That’s fair enough to say if you’re from a sparsely populated rural county. There are probably 80-100,000 GAA members in Dublin and plenty more who go to most league and championship matches who aren’t affiliated to a club. Not all of them will get tickets. Ask anybody involved in distribution of tickets in a club in Dublin to see if everybody who should get one, will.
Always ways, not every ticket is distributed through the Clubs and regular match goers will always have alternative methods.
Not all regular match goers will always have alternative methods. Most will get sorted but when Dublin are involved there will always be people who should have tickets who don’t get one. My father didn’t get one in for the Dublin-Tyrone final in 1995 for instance despite being a club member and having gone to all league and championship matches that year, as he does every year. Great man that he is, the one ticket he did get, he gave to me. 
So he did get a ticket then.[/b]

Plenty people who want tickets don’t get them. An awful lot of kids and young people lose out cos older cunts come rolling up for finals. The young ones will have no method of picking up a ticket

One ticket between two people who had been at all league and championship matches that year meant one didn’t get to go. He took the hit on the basis that he had been to several All-Ireland finals before where Dublin had won, whereas I hadn’t.
I know a lad from Dublin who is going Sunday who has never been at any GAA match of any description before. Underage, club, nothing!
