Dublin call for ticket prices freeze

DUBLIN will call for ticket prices for the All-Ireland series to be frozen at 2004 levels for the next two years.

Dublin secretary John Costello pointed out that tickets for the Mayo-Fermanagh All-Ireland football semi-final replay were 5 cheaper than the first game, but suggested that such tickets should be far cheaper: “Had it (the price) been cut to 20 it might have greatly added to the attendance for the replay, which was down by over 25,000 on the first game.”

The report also called for a general reform of ticketing arrangements for major championship games.
