I don't think you're officially allowed to in the Brandywell, but if you ask nicely, it's usually not an issue.
I presumed it would be the same for most grounds. Sligo let people out to grab an inhaler. Maybe it'd be different for pints.

Jaysis Ezekial calm down ffs :D
The t's & c's of all tickets pretty much whether it be for a football match or a gig etc include a no re-admittance if you leave line. Reason being, what's to stop you going out with 5/10/20 tickets already scanned and giving them to people outside so they can chance their arm and try and get in for free basically.
At our level a bit of cop on and common sense applies once you say something to a steward etc they'll usually always have no problem with letting you back in if you say it to them but at Ireland games, gigs in the Point, Premier League games etc it's enforced way more strictly, albeit if you say it to a steward and they've a bit of common sense they may well let you out and back in, some of them are right little jobsworths though.
As was mentioned at Ireland games you can get out for a cig but that's at 2 or 3 designated exits to the "smoking areas" where you get a stamp like a nightclub and down the exit to an area that only has access to it from the stadium doors with stewards at the door checking the stamps. That's probably the only bit of cop on that has been applied by the FAI in years. You can't get out past the gate at section O/P for example at Landsdowne if you go down for a smoke during the game.
Thanks. I'm calm.Quote:

this can't happen. When readmittance was allowed, tickets were scanned on the way in and scanned on the way out. If someone walked out with 10 tickets, they would have to get them all scanned on the way out or they'd show up as in the ground when they tried to re use them.Quote:

But it was more at the time when some were scrambling under the Hiney Park gate too and building rubble stacked outside the perimeter wall at spots to climb in to the ground:rolleyes: The YDC put a stop to most of that. Chancers also tried the free under 12's season tickets by flashing them at the turnstiles hoping they wouldnt be scrutinised. There were a good few confiscated and that incentive was scrapped. Now that all tickets are scanned they should look to reinstate that scheme! There should still be some common sense and pragmatism shown by stewards/clubs. Surely explaining to a steward the reason for wanting to leave the ground for a moment as in the example given above, to safely allow a child to be collected, and then reenter the ground should be ok. If it was happening enmasse and obviously an excuse to get to the pub then wouldnt it be obvious enough!?
I'm binning this as it's mostly just a pathetic slap fight between two people. Feel free to start a new one and keep it factual and on-topic.
Ezeikial in particular, you're pushing your luck on Foot.ie. Don't say you weren't warned.
