Table 1: All-Ireland Final Ticket Distribution 2012 At this time of the year one is accustomed to hearing people wonder where do the tickets for the All-Ireland final go. The GAA provide this information in their Annual Report. The information is reproduced in Table 1.
The vast majority are given to "County Allocation". Note that this is not just to competing counties. It is to all counties. If you don't have a hurling final ticket then one of the best ways of securing a ticket for the All-Ireland hurling final ticket is secure a ticket for the football final. You can then trade the football final ticket for a hurling final ticket.
There will be plenty of Cork people trading football tickets with people from Mayo who have qualified for the football final and visa versa. Other than indirect demand, there should not be huge demand in Mayo for hurling final tickets - although there will be a few diehard Mayo hurling fans who will go to the hurling final and not the football final.
Almost 13% of tickets go to the Premium & Corporate sector. Again this is another way of sourcing a ticket. Or you might "borrow" the term-ticket of someone who has one.
Schools & Educational Bodies get 2,229 while 3rd Level education gets 240. The rest are distributed as above shows.
