GAA see increase in revenue in 2016, but warn of lower attendances

“The challenge is to increase attendances – and revenues – at the earlier rounds of the qualifiers.”

The GAA have reported a €4million revenue boost for 2016, driven by an increase in gate receipts, writes Stephen Barry.

Gate receipts were up €3million last year, largely attributed to the All-Ireland football final replay which attracted an additional 82,249 people into Croke Park.
