EnglishHow to Get Match Tickets Through GAA.ie
Updated
GAA.ie does not sell tickets directly on its homepage. The site links out to the official Croke Park match-day pages, including a Premium Tickets page at crokepark.ie/match-day/premium. To buy tickets, start from GAA.ie or Croke Park's official match-day section, confirm the fixture, venue and tier you want, then complete the purchase on the official page. Prices, availability and any account requirements are set there and can change by match, so check the page for the specific game rather than assuming a standard price.
What GAA.ie itself provides
GAA.ie is the official site for Gaelic games news, fixtures, results, video highlights and feature analysis. Its navigation covers:
- News – match reports and announcements, such as county final results and panel announcements
- Fixtures & Results – the schedule and outcomes used to identify which match you want to attend
- Videos – match video and highlights
- Features & Analysis – longer-form coverage
The ticket route is a link, not a built-in checkout. The only ticket-related link visible in the site's page evidence is Premium Tickets, pointing to crokepark.ie/match-day/premium. That page sits under Croke Park's match-day section, which is where premium and match-day ticket information is handled.
Step-by-step: from fixture to ticket
- Find the fixture. Use the Fixtures & Results section on GAA.ie to confirm the competition, teams, date and venue. Match reports on the site show the format to expect (for example, "Cork SHC Final" or "Dublin SFC Final" with a named ground such as Parnell Park).
- Identify the venue's official page. If the match is at Croke Park, go to the Croke Park match-day section. For county grounds, use the county board or competition organizer's official channel.
- Open the ticket page for that match. Follow the Premium Tickets link or the match-day ticket link for the specific fixture.
- Check the details before paying. Confirm the match, date, throw-in time, ticket category (premium, stand, terrace) and any limits per purchaser.
- Complete the purchase on the official page. Payment happens there, not on GAA.ie. Keep the confirmation email or digital ticket for entry.
Expected result: a confirmed ticket for the named fixture, issued by the official seller, with entry details for the stated venue.
What to verify before buying
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Fixture and venue match the GAA.ie listing | County finals and championship games can be moved or replayed |
| Ticket tier (premium vs. standard) | Premium Tickets is a distinct product from general match-day admission |
| Seller domain | Buy only through official GAA, Croke Park or county board channels |
| Date and throw-in time | Listings on GAA.ie show dates; confirm the time on the ticket page |
Common sticking points
- Expecting a checkout on GAA.ie. The site is a news and fixtures hub; purchasing happens on the linked official page.
- Assuming one price for all games. Ticket prices and availability are set per match and per venue, and the page evidence does not state them. Check the specific fixture page.
- Using resale or unofficial links. The official route is the GAA.ie link to Croke Park's match-day pages or the relevant county board. Unofficial sellers carry risk of invalid tickets.
- Leaving it late for finals. County finals draw large crowds, as the match reports on GAA.ie show for grounds like Parnell Park and FBD Semple Stadium. Check availability as soon as the fixture is confirmed.
If you cannot find a ticket link
Some fixtures are sold through county boards rather than Croke Park. In that case, use the Fixtures & Results entry to identify the competition and county, then go to that county's official channel. GAA.ie's news coverage names the competitions and venues, which helps you search the right official source.
