Will premium tickets go on general sale
Is the premium level worth it (price 40e ?) d24. Was going to go there last year, but changed my mind. The atmosphere would be a bit flat maybe, which I found in Croke Park. However never been there and would like to see what it is like. Advise please
Only twenty quid last few finals, only go to the Aviva once a year so I enjoy it.
Yes - premium level is well worth it.
FAI sent an email giving me a Premium Ticket for my Season Ticket. My ST is in the Upper Tier.
Yeah all FAI season ticket holders are allowed use their season ticket to get premium level for the Cup finalQuote:

This year Pat's have again finished 3rd with Derry as low as 8th this time. My understanding is that Pat's have not won the cup since 1961. Having won the league last year, there'll be a craving there for more silverware.
League results this season:
29/08/14 Derry City 0 St Patrick's Athletic 1
30/05/14 St Patrick's Athletic 5 Derry City 2
28/03/14 Derry City 0 St Patrick's Athletic 0
Last two Cup results between the sides:
04/11/12 Final Derry City 3 St Patrick's Athletic 2
03/12/06 Final Derry City 4 St Patrick's Athletic 3
Pat's have had the upper hand in the league this year. Derry have had the upper hand in recent Cup meetings. Extra-time again cannot be ruled out. Pat's seem to have the momentum.
Still no availability on Ticketmaster for Premium tickets they aren't going to open the whole section just for Ireland season ticket holders so no idea why they are taking so long to go on sale.
We've never beaten Derry in any cup game.Quote:

I've always wondered what it must be like. I mean for Chicago Cubs, Liverpool, Mayo, Toronto Maple Leafs (I am a fan), fans it must be excruciating to think of the aftermath.
I remember the relief after Dublin won the All-Ireland in 2011 and how it manifested as relief more than joy.
I've already decided I'm going to stop following football after the final. A win would mean it's complete and nothing could top it. Another loss would be too much to take.Quote:

Good call. I may do the same. Couldn't live in that world.Quote:

Now that's Pure Derry.
Any know of the process for using your Lansdowne season ticket for the final?
Don't exactly want the upgrade and would rather just have the lower tier.
Won't work apparently. It's upgrade only.Quote:

Will give Ticketmaster a ring in the morning and see the craic.Quote:

The FAI have told the club (Derry) that if you present your Lansdowne season ticket to the ticket van (which is at the junction of Lansdowne Road and Northumberland Road?) they will issue you with a lower tier ticket.
But this is the FAI, so bear in mind that Abbey, SCs, JD's muckers and his next door neighbour's cat will all be in the queue ahead of you.

Right... I can't see Pats losing this. I really can't. The best team in the country at the moment, and surely they won't lose ANOTHER Cup Final. Prediction: 2-0 the Saints.
Are the league champions not the best team ffs

Will be the first Cup final I've missed in a few years. Enjoy the day out at the venue formally known as Lansdowne Rd. Hopefully will catch a bit of it on the box and I'm going for Pat's to finally break their eternal cup hoodoo.
Any news on tickets sales?
Heard Derry are expected to have about 8,000 heading down. Pat's sold out 3 blocks, which I'm estimating is about 3,500 sold at least on top of other sales.
3 blocks totally sold out with another 3 nearly sold out apparently. There was just over 16,000 at the 2012 final I reckon it will be lower this season even tho we've sold more so far than we did in 2012.Quote:

And pats will lose out. again. its what they do so well
Will any pubs in Britain (Birmingham, like O'Neill's or somewhere like that?) be showing the match? Or will I have to make do with RTE Player?
Come on Derry!
Where are both sets of supporters located in Aviva Stadium? Anyone know where the designated neutral sections (if any) are?
I did say 'at the moment'. Dundalk deserved the league over the season.Quote:
