    I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
    And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
    I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
    Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away

    With the GAA season ticket you pay money (€75.00) up front and it guarantees you tickets for EVERY game for whichever county you have picked. The initial €75.00 covers all of your county's league game sand their opening Championship match. After that you pay again for each match your county participates in. The great thing is though is you're guaranteed a ticket. As a Dub this is manna. I've spent years traveling to hurling and football league and championship matches only to find that as soon as the bandwagon rolls into town I can't get a ticket. So this suits me.

    With block booking I can never usually afford the cost of both or however many games are involved in the block so I can't usually get to em.

    The Aviva 10 year tickets intend to offer something similar but they are so over priced as to be a laugh.

    I've read a lot of crap over the years but this takes the biscuit, the normal is 2 matches at a time i.e. 100 euro, not a hell of a lot mote than 75 euro. You also cant get a block booking unless on the list regardless of if you have the money or not.

    Agreed. as I thought the Block Booking is doing largely what the GAA Season Card is.
    I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

    there's been the odd time when there's been 3 games or so.
    TBH it never really affects me as I can always manage to get to most matches if I'm here.

    I think my point is lost and I really can't remember what it was!!!
    DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
