The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) has raised prices for the All-Ireland Senior Finals for the first time since 2019, with stand tickets costing €100 (£85/$110) at this year’s deciders in July.
The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship final is set to conclude on July 21 before the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship on July 28.
Stand tickets have increased by €10 from 2023 while terrace tickets are up by €5 to €55.
Ticket prices for senior quarter and semi-finals are also set to increase by €5 this year.
A GAA statement said that it was only the second ticket price increase for the latter stages of the competitions in 14 years. It also stated that “three for two” offers and other discounts are available to GAA members.
“The GAA can confirm that tickets for the 2024 All-Ireland hurling and football finals will be priced at €100 (stand) and €55 (terrace), an increase of €10 and €5 respectively on 2023 prices,” read the statement
“Ticket prices for quarter-finals and semi-finals will increase by €5. This is the first increase to final ticket prices since 2019, and second in 14 years, and is part of a ticketing review which featured discounts during the Allianz Leagues, has seen new ‘3 for 2’ offers for All-Ireland series games and GAA membership discounts of €5 issued via Foireann for the Allianz League Finals and again for the upcoming football and hurling preliminary quarter-finals.”
The GAA claims that revenue generated from the fixtures will go towards the redevelopment of pitches and club facilities with investment increasing from €3m to €4.5m. The Association will also commit to allocating €5m for club facilities in 2025.
“As part of its redistribution model the GAA seeks to re-invest a minimum of 83% annually of its revenues generated back across its network in support of all its affiliated units,” the statement continued.
“The additional ticket revenues generated will underpin a continued growth in our investment into Coaching and Games (€12m), Infrastructural Redevelopment of our County Grounds and Venues (€5m) and the continued capacity to assist club infrastructure through the GAA’s Club Development Fund Scheme. As usual, tickets for All-Ireland Finals will be distributed via our club and county network.”
