It seems all the Premier Division clubs, bar UCD, are already live for next season, whereas in the First, it's just Finn Harps and Galway ready so far. Kerry will presumably have a big website launch when all the merchandise is ready in the coming weeks, but the others must be waiting for the fixtures to be released?

From looking through the links definitely appears a number of price increases from last season and signs of more of shift towards more €20 range match night ticket prices
Shamrock Rovers, Dundalk, St. Pats and Galway from what I see definitely still offering good value for the respective general admission season tickets considering where you expect they will be in their respective divisions
Harps have easily the best priced kids tickets in the league, I'd argue. €5 for a primary school season ticket and €40 for a secondary school kid is fantastic value for money.
180 quid for Town ST. Great value given it's 15 at the gate.
As far as I can see we are letting one kid in free with an adult for the season but it's €50 for 2 kids!Quote:

The GAA even let under 12's in free locally to games here.
Yeah that's what I meant, didn't seem to be specifically kids tickets. Thought it was a bit strange.Quote:

Not sure how many home games will be included in it but say for argument sake there will be 18 included in that €275 ticket, that works out at over €15 per match. Meaning the season ticket will actually cost fans more money than paying at the gate each week or else match tickets are going to cost more than €15 which is crazy given the level and the facilitiesQuote:

It's a punchy price level for the First Division anyway, nevermind a brand new team in it too. Would be interetsing to know what budget they're working off of if it includes STs at that price.
Obviously, given the big difference in wages even between teams in the First, there are no hard and fast rules as to what attendance levels a club might need to break even, but given Mounthawk Park is small enough to begin with, you'd have thought a minimum average of 500 would be required, making today seem all the more like madness.Quote:

Which itself seems bizarre.
The two adults two kids for 400 looks ok, its the individual one at 275 that looks mad but knowing cute Kerry people most fellas will buy a family ticket between them :)
Have to think its a combination of the capacoty being very low as well maybe that they thnk they will fill anyway
It's a high risk strategy for a brand new team. And risks the run-in to their first season being dominated by negativity around ticket prices.Quote:

I'd be concerned by what that decision potentially signifies, which is that the people behind the new club have very little understanding of how this league tends to operate in the lower tier. Treaty's are 190 as far as I remember, and I'd consider that high enough.
Had planned on buying a kerry season ticket.Not at those prices though.Will pay on the night now.Poor decision by club and alot of bad publicity with it.
