Double-header tickets

THE GAA have explained that All-Ireland qualifier double-header stand tickets cost €20 — €5 more than the recently-reduced €15 for backdoor games — simply because there are two games on offer.

Stand tickets are €20 at the Gaelic Grounds’ for tomorrow’s Galway/Cork SHC phase three qualifier, which is preceded by Limerick and Offaly’s second round SFC clash.

“It’s a double-header and it was the same price for the double-header the first weekend after we launched the initiative,” said GAA director of communications Lisa Clancy about the Antrim hurling and football qualifiers in Casement Park.
