Attendances 2024

[ger121]

1112 apparently. So stand about 70% full

Ah ok. The lads on commentary were saying it was full and 1400 tickets were available for sale.

[pineapple stu]

Not actually at it myself mind - heard the stand was full alright and while there's usually always some gaps, I was hoping you might come along and say it's never 70% full and increase the figure

[2 Year Contract]

Definitely not a 30% empty stand

Nigel gives out we keep changing attendances a couple of days later. I've a feeling we announce the cash attendance on the day and add in the online tickets later. Or vice versa. Only explanation I can come up with

I've started holding off updating my spreadsheet for a week to allow UCD and Shels update their match announced attendances

[Buckett]

It's a fantastic service that you provide to LOI supporters, very much appreciated. Fair play

[Kingswood Rover]

Rovers website saying that the final game v Waterford is now sold out.

[yurt]

How many games is that Rovers have sold out since opening the 4th stand? I'd wonder how many could they have sold if capacity wasn't an issue.

The obvious answer being 'none', if capacity wasn't an issue

8,745 at Tallaght last night to see the Women's Euro 2025 Play-Off.

There are still east stand tickets on sale for home fans

One I think. Bohs at home had just over 10k, none of the others have hit that figure yet

The following have now been added to FAI Connect.

Longford v Athlone - 5th Oct - 505
Longford v Cobh - 12th Oct - 610
UCD v Longford - 18th Oct - 304
Kerry v Athlone - 18th Oct - 544

Taking Longfords with a tablespoon of salt but at least the First Division is updated through all the way. Just missing Shels v Drogs on 25th Oct.

Bohs looked to have a full house. It was good to see considering how poor our season was.

Poor crowd in Derry for a team needing it for Europe against the champions elect compared to a dead rubber for the home support in the Showgs in a town one fifth the size of Derry, we need to push on and become the premier club on the Western seaboard.

We've a problem in that the ground is mostly ST holders now. Only couple of hundred tickets go on sale for each match.
Every match this season has sold out, I believe. In an ideal world, there would be a facility for ST holders to sell their ticket back to the club, who could then sell it on. We don't have the staff for such a thing though.

Of course, this shouldn't be an issue next year with the new stand.

Was at both those Longford games, I think I posted 300-350 for Athlone and 450-500 for Cobh.

Nigel, what was the biggest crowd for each Premier Club this season do you know?

[nr637]

Over 22,500 attend final games of the Premier league series!

Can't wait for next year!

Of course, this shouldn't be an issue next year with the new stand.

Surely there are re-sale sites who would handle this for any club who wanted to (at a fee) ?
