Blow for hard-pressed GAA fans as ticket prices for All-Ireland finals are set to rise
Increase of 10% confirmed ahead of showpiece events in July
The GAA has confirmed that tickets prices for this year's All-Ireland football and hurling finals are set to increase by 10%.
Both finals will take place at the end of July and the increase is the first since 2019 and the second since 2010.
The GAA says ticket prices for quarter-finals and semi-finals of both competitions will increase by €5.
"Revenue generated from our fixtures will increase our club grants for the redevelopment of pitches and club facilities from €3m in 2023 to €4.5m in 2024 and allow the Association to commit to allocating €5m for club facilities in 2025," said a spokesperson.
The GAA says the additional ticket revenues generated from the increases will underpin a continued growth in its investment into coaching and cames (€12m), infrastructural redevelopment of 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 - in both codes - will be distributed via the GAA's club and county network.
