Leinster GAA launch new discounted ticket plan for semi-finals

Leinster GAA are marking their first senior football semi-finals outside Croke Park in 30 years with incentivised group passes for this Sunday's games. After cutting the price of an adult stand ticket for their first round games to €15 from €25 earlier this month, the province have released offers for the Dublin-Meath and Kildare-Louth fixtures in Portlaoise's Laois Hire O'Moore Park and Tullamore's Glenisk O'Connor Park respectively. A stand package comprising 20 children (U16) and four adults is available at €160. A terrace deal for the same numbers is €150. An adult stand ticket is available at €30 and terrace €20 with general juvenile admission priced at €5. The offer represents a saving of between €30 and €60. Sunday will be the first time since 1995 that the two semi-finals have been held outside Croke Park. The combined attendance for the games is expected to exceed the 21,957 crowd that were at the Dublin-Offaly and Louth-Kildare double-header in Croke Park 12 months ago. Explaining the rationale for moving the games outside Dublin earlier this month, Leinster chairman Derek Kent said: 'The prime reason for that is we have great provincial grounds, we haven't been filling Croke Park like we thought we would over the last number of years, and I will also say it will give a better experience of the Leinster football championship.' The €15 ticket deal for the opening four games of the competition reportedly contributed to a 40% increase in attendances. Applications for the packages can be accessed here.
