Price cuts may be extended

THE GAA has signposted its intention to reduce prices to NFL and NHL games next year and the savings for spectators may yet carry on into the summer with the cost of attending a championship fixture also under review.

President Christy Cooney intimated as much whilst on the GAA Vodafone All Stars tour in Kuala Lumpur last month and Director General Paraic Duffy went one step further yesterday.

“We are always conscious of ticket prices,” said Duffy. “We will be going with a proposal to Ard Chomhairle in January and there will probably be some reduction in ticket prices for the leagues.
