Details about tickets on GBFM this morning. Season ticket holders can buy 2 for 40euro. 40euro each if you don't have a season ticket.
Can only be bought at half time of the UCD game. Excellent idea that. There should be a limit on how many each person can that night. Otherwise 1 person sent along to buy a load of tickets for someone else.
Also is there a danger that people will start queing while the 1st half is still on.
There will be a limit on the number of Tickets People can buy and we have a meeting this week whereby the arrangments for sale of the remaining tickets which I presume will be done on Ticket Queing System ie. You get your ticket number on entry to the ground and Tickets will be sold on that basis.
So I guess we will have queues at the gate of a GUFC -v- UCD el game now thats a first!
if you have a family ticket can you get 8 for €160??? i have no intention of buying 8 but does it mean 2 tickets allowed per person with season ticket?Quote:

i reckon the reasoning is €40 per ticket. if season ticket holder buys 2 then he gets a full priced ticket to bring a friend and then free in himself. the game is during race week so there will be loads of people in galway who will want to go up and will gladly pay €40. these same people would probably never go to terryland anyway. it seems fair to me. barstoolers pay full whack and season ticket holders get in either half price or free depending how you look at it!Quote:

on the official site - it sounds like they are doing us the season ticket holders the biggest favour by offering us tickets for 20 yoyo a go - firstly season tickets were sold for entry to all games bar fai cup - but secondly they use the word reward twice - like it was something to shout about
the clubs interest is for the smallest season ticket holder uptake as possible so they can profiteer out of this the most
still debating whether to attend or not
The capacity will be only 5,000. Season Ticket Holders are allowed buy 2 @ €20 (plus they are allowed apply for tickets for the new stand @€50),Sunderland are taking 1,000 tickets at @ €20 plus 100 for the new stand and Sponsors and Dignitaries have to be looked after as the match will mark the opening of the new stand.
This means there could be less than 1,000 going on general sale at the UCD game. We have just gone full time and have to co-fund the further Development of Terryland so we have to maximise our revenue streams.
There is also a corporate night at the Galway Races where United will be entertaining over 440 people at €250 a shot or €2,500 a table and everyone involved needs to be congartulated on the tremendous work done for both events.
Cork and Bohemians will be able to accomodate over double the crowd we could so obviously their tickets will be cheaper.
The demand for tickets is unbelievable and id say we could sell another 100/200 season tickets before the 15th May so people can be sure of getting their hands on a ticket.
and if we do then fair play! BTW how many season tickets have been sold to date? the target was about 1,000 but did we come anywhere near to this?Quote:

We have 950 season ticket holders, approx 200 of these
are sponsors, gold, silver and bronze, etc.
Everyone who has a sign in the ground (including GUST) gets two season
tickets, as do various other sponsors.
Why are tickets for Sunderland fans only €20?! Surely they're used to being ripped off going to matches in England and I'm sure their club are charging a hefty enough "appearance fee"
It was a stipulation in the contract that they be treated the same as our Season Ticket Holders!
thats exactly what i was thinking!Quote:

Have you been drinking and taking medication again, Tribesman ;)
shes an adult season ticket holder and got the letter offering her 2 tickets at 40e that must be returned within 14 days.im a concession ticket holder but havent got mine yet.will i get a letter with same offer or is it just adult season ticket holders who get the offer?????
You are entitled to purchase two adult tickets at half-price.
There is no discount on tickets for concession student ticket holders.
(ie you can't get two concession tickets for E20).
You live close to Terryland - I would advise you to call to the ground
during office hours to collect, and pay for, your tickets.
Bring your season ticket with you.
how about the family tickets patrick. can i only get 2 or can i get more?
I will clarify this tomorrow.
I would imagine that a family season ticket holder should be able to purchase four tickets.
ill be there to get my mums 2 season tickets and may indeed take up my 2 aswell.
thanks for info.
I would advise all season ticket holders to take up their allocation.
There are plenty of United supporters who will buy tickets off you.
You may also wish to give them to family, friends or workmates.
Ideally the more genuine GUFC and Sunderland supporters at the game the better.
The less tickets that are availabel to barstoolers and event junkies, the better
the atmosphere will be. We dont want Alan Murphy to be booed off the pitch after
scoring a last minute winner.
Having said that, its entirely up to the individual season ticket holders themselves.
I would echo the comments made by Patrick about going down to the club and picking up your tickets as the club managed to lose my season ticket and I had to be issued with a new one which I collected from the club .
Still on the fence weather to go or not but if I don't go I will not buy my tickets to give to someone else , I say let them pay 40 Euro a ticket if they want to go .
GUST willl be looking for spare tickets (at full price) so if anyone
season ticket holders do not wish to take up their allocation, please
pm me.
When were the letters sent out??
got my letter today
There was over 900 letters sent out in numerical order so Adult 0001 was the first sent out i got mine on monday so the last batch out would be family tickets.They were sent out Friday/Monday & Yesterday so if you havent got yours by tomorrow id get onto the office.
The Club got its biggest delivery of Post EVER this morning.:eek:
Still havent got my vouchers or reserved parking space yet!
Well contact the office 091767336 no good coming on here complaining.
As for parking there will be none for the Sunderland Game and as and from the Derry Game Parking will be severly curtailed due to the Construction work.Parking cant be guarenteed for anyone after 7.00pm for any game this year due to the large crowds and restrictions on parking spaces.
I can't understand why family tickets only get 4 surely it should be 8. 4 people on the family ticket with 2 tickets per person. Now fair enough 2 are under 16 but they are still been charged 20 on the ground anyway. " adults should get 2 each and so should the children all be it 2 children tickets, These under 16's are meant to be the future but people are saying they are not entitled too 2 tickets so they can bring their friends and maybe get them hooked as well. Makes no sense, Because obiously the 2 alduts are going to bring the 2 under 16's which we have been bringing all season so that's 4 tickets used so no advantage for these loyal supporters who are just the same as any season ticket holder.
