Croker needs to address ticketing
Croke Park had plenty of seats empty on Sunday for Dublin’s Leinster opener with Louth. This surprised me as Ticketmaster.ie had no tickets to sell from last Wednesday.
It would be great to see some action from headquarters to address the weekly scramble for tickets and to ensure that where there are significant returns from clubs these are made available online. Opening the ticket office on Jones’ Road or Parnell Park is fine if you work on live on the North Side but not the fairest way of ensuring Dublin fans across the country have access to tickets on an equal basis.
Sorry for the indulgent nature of this post. As our Chris Brown (still ecstatic after Down’s draw with Tyrone) spotted in Private Eye this month. All too much blogging is….
The glittering prize for Dublin’s success is a Leinster semi-final encounter with the Lake County. We’re looking forward to a repeat of the Division Two final, and a similar outcome…Sorry for the indulgent nature of this post.
