2018 All Ireland Hurling Final - Ticket tales

Please log all talk tales and stories about getting your tickets for what will be an event bigger than the Pope visiting our shores.

I was asked by a good friend from Newcastlewest for two Hill tickets for his teenage kids. With KK in the minor I’d be more than hopeful of getting them.

Super Valu will have loads of them.

Not going on public sale. Limerick GAA clubs to get approx 15k tickets.

I’ll be looking for 2 for the hill but will be grateful to get anything. Willing to part with tickets for the pope if necessary!

The hurling ref in Fermanagh that I usually get tickets from has already been onto me to say he has his 2 for me.

If I get anything, @anon61956325 and @Joe_Player are first in line

We’ve six ten year tickets so I’m sorted already.

Where did you hear the clubs are getting 15k? I thought previosuly years it was as low as 9k?

If it’s galway in the final there’ll be loads of tickets the likes of @Ambrose_McNulty and @gaillimhmick never go to the games they don’t travel. Jp will get about ten thousand and give them back to the county board too. Will be tougher if it’s clare.

Generic hurling final ticket tale, applicable to every year: Walked up to outside Quinn’s at 2:30pm - got one for half price within two minutes.

Not last year you couldn’t.

In 2012, I walked down outside Gills at 3pm and I had the choice of tickets. First one offered Upper Davin, then a Lower Davin…no thanks to both. Decided on a Nally Terrace for about €30 in the end.

You know the story . Plenty tickets . Add a novel minor final pairing :laughing: and there will be cunts holding them up in drumcondra on the big day . Twill be like trying to sell bank shares in 2007 & 2098 .

I’ll be there alright if Galway are in it. I’ll have a great day with my Galway and Limerick pals whatever way the result goes. I’ve no doubt that you’ll be there too, in the corner of the Big Tree again all alone, posting away on TFK and searching through old posts, like you did the last day. :smile:

Afterwards you’ll be back in the corner making up posts about snorting coke of a model’s arse.

Whatever makes you happy kid :clap:

That tactic does depend on who’s in it. Never any problem when Kilkenny are in it. They’ll be thinner on the ground this year but they still usually materialize.

I wouldn’t darken the door of a pub before a game mate.

A Limerick Clare final will make tickets more scarce than normal.
Had a choice of tickets outside Chaplains in 2016. Don’t think they’d be as plentiful this year on the day

biggest problem with tickets is you’ll have lads who ask about 20 people, and then get sorted and leave the others high and dry who sourced a ticket for them. I’m nearly sure it was the year of the Waterford Kilkenny final where we had a couple left over, paid for fortunately, but no one around to take them off us. So left them with a guard at the top of Clonliffe Road near Quinns. He took out a few already in his pocket and said he had heaps. Ended up swapping ours for better ones then. From there on would always make sure if someone wanted or was getting tickets off us that they took them regardless of if they got sorted elsewhere.

Easy pick up tickets when Galway are involved. Clare v limerick will be tough but does that deserve them will always get them.

Fair play to you @caulifloweredneanderthal, if get hold of any I’ll burn them.
