For the international rubby tickets the club secretary inputs the emails of the person who is getting the ticket (and qty) allocated. The person receiving the tickets get a link to ticketmaster then to buy that qty. Bit of work for secretarys alright but no fuck acting with you can only buy one.
Only downside is the club pays up front for tickets then when the purchase goes through on ticketmaster the club is reimbursed, which again is a long winded process
That was done for the All Ireland in 2021 iirc.

I think ticketmaster also defaults to select 2 tickets and if you were told by a club to purchase 1 you have to manually reduce it to 1 on the page. Ive heard of problems with people buying more than they should in a couple of Limerick clubs for this game.
I bet you the GAA have signed a long term deal with Ticketmaster. Shambles really as TM only care that they get their money

Iâve done many a âdrawâ meself 
Some GAA head on Twitter lambasting Ticketmaster and the GAA the other day. Paddy thinks he can distribute tickets better than the largest ricketing operation in the world.
Absolutely everyone fucking hates ticketmaster, theyâre a complete rip off, and pretty much every system that now uses Ticketmaster was better before they got got Ticketmaster in. Iâll never understand it.
Universally hated as a cunt of a corporation. Racked on $25 booking fee for NBA tickets. The cunts
I thought it only happened in Wolfe Tones, quite the mess and plenty of people going radio silent with tickets presumably already moved on already
No doubt a few will rock up with cancelled tickets on the day.

I vaguely remember the Saturday morning before the 2001 All Ireland Hurling Final having to pick up 2 tickets at a random house in Johnstown on the way up to Dublin, on instruction from an Uncle in Kilkenny to drop them at the Reception at the Royal Marine Hotel in Dun Laoighre for some other fella from Galway to pick up.
There was no ticketmaster or any of that nonsense back in those days.
That same year my father actually won 2x tickets in a newspaper competition but they only arrived in the post on the Monday after the game, so after ringing Aengus Fanning in the Sunday Independent telling him the story, he apologised and offered 2x tickets to the Football or 2x tickets to the 2002 Hurling final. We took up the offer for the 2002 Final and saw DJ Careyâs Hollywood point in the flesh.

A friend of mine found an envelope with four tickets in it on OâConnell Street on all Ireland final day a few years ago. Nothing to see nearby and no names on it. Walked up to croke park and left it at reception, they said theyâd no way of finding whose they were and he should probably use them. He said see if they turn up but left his number in case they didnât. He got a call the following day from the man who lost them who was up with his small son and two nephews who couldnât thank him enough.

I lost my ticket in a taxi in 2018. Lucky the man who gave it to me knew the seat number and what not. A chap got ejected after using my ticket while I got it reprinted again in some office around croke park.

Fair shooting at that grade. Bruree can store up their resentment for another while
Richie Cian and Graham cut lonely figures down the subs bench.
OâReilly was on the beach last day too I think. Is Shane O Brien injured? Or just dropped from 26?
