Admission increases approved as Offaly GAA games to remain “cashless”

ADMISSION increases have been approved for Offaly GAA club games in 2022 while treasurer Dervill Dolan confirmed to a County Board meeting on Tuesday that night that fixtures will remain “cashless” and tickets must be purchased in advance online for them.

The increases range from €1 to €3 and Mr Dolan revealed that it is their first raise in a number of years. He stated that online payments have facilitated this as cash increases would have resulted in clubs needed too much change at games.

The charges for 2022 are:

Senior group €12;

Senior “B”/intermediate group €10;

Junior group €6;

U-20: €6;

Minor group €4;

Senior quarter-finals and semi-finals €12 (1 game) and €18 (2 games);

Senior B and intermediate quarter-finals €12;

Junior quarter-finals €8;

U-20 quarter-finals €6;

Minor quarter-finals €5;

Senior finals €20, replay €15;

Senior B and intermediate finals €15, replay €10;

Junior, U-20 finals €10;

Minor finals €6

U-13, 15 and Feile finals €5.

Charles for leagues vary from €5 to €7 while a season ticket at €200, which gives admittance to all club games, is available.

The old senior citizens passes which gave free admittance to games have been done away with and instead they and students can buy tickets for half price but must produced identification to confirm their age if asked at a gate.
