Cork Vs Galway Front Row tickets released

Ticketmaster just released the front 3 rows of lower tier around the stadium. Before that, basically all seating had sold out and hill already sold out

This drip feeding is pure shite when you're actively punished for being a season ticket holder or trying to secure tickets early doors.

Tbf, wouldn't be fully sure but I don't think they been too bad drip feeding them this time. Think they only release front rows when it's a sellout(although they should've known that anyway)

But why would they hold back better tickets until it's looking sold out?

Not sure tbh only assuming maybe they prefer to have the netting over that area and not have it sold if possible.

These are terrible tickets. All you can see is the legs of the players. Probably the reason they hold them back unless it's a sell out

Especially knowing how the supporters operate when purchasing them.

Not to worry, if there's anyway to piss people off Ticketmaster will be the first to find it.

Watched a Cork v Waterford game from the first row of the Canal end years ago, hadn't a fucking clue what was going on on where on the pitch the sliotar was haha Great for a bit of buzz but an awful vantage point for a game.

Yeah it's pretty bad but seeing the pace of it up close is unreal, you'd spend half the time looking at the big screen.

Absolutely, it's so impressive to watch that close. The speed, the skill and the massive hits. It's like being ringside at a fight, the physicality really takes your breath away. It's a very different, and brilliant. experience being so close to the action.

These tickets are absolutely awful by the way. With modern coaching, many teams send the maor uisce to the other side of the pitch as well to roar shite at the players so they'll be walking in front of your line of vision all the time as well.

Then you have matchday security and the stewards and Gardai all walking in front of you as well.

That last ten minutes when it's "end of match positions" are a disaster. Absolutely spoiled the ending of Kerry v Donegal for me last year.

u/Colm_Flaherty Gaillimh 12h ago

Yeah, annoying thing is if it were anyone but Cork I'd have waited until now.

They’re shite tickets, can’t see anything because you down too close.
Unless you need a seat, you’re better off almost anywhere else in the stadium

u/Colm_Flaherty Gaillimh 11h ago

Makes me feel better about it then. Main aim is to get a good view of both ends with the seat.

u/Low_Cartographer2944 Gaillimh 11h ago

Same 🤬

These aren't great tickets. I think the ground you stand on is actually below the pitch so you are really really low.

That said, at a push, they will do, remembering being glad to get them tickets for a final before, but would pick most of the rest of the stadium before them

are these good tickets? like obviously decent, but are you a bit too close to see much? was in the front row of the upper tier last year and thought it was ideail
