All Ireland Final Tickets

All Ireland Football Final tickets

There will be huge demand for tickets for the forthcoming All Ireland Football Final. We do not know what allocation we will receive from the county board but based on previous finals the club will not be able to meet the demand and will not come anywhere near fulfiling all requests.

We are imposing a deadline of 6pm this Saturday 2^nd September for your request to be made to the club secretary at secretary.swinford.mayo@gaa.ie (please do not send to any other Club Officer)

Any requests after this deadline will not be accepted.

Priority will be given to our members, players, coaches, sponsors and the supporters of our annual club draw.

There are no juvenile tickets and we will not be able to facilitate requests for multiple tickets. Based on previous years the majority of the club tickets will be Hill and Nally Terrace.

Please seek out tickets throughout the country and enter as many competitions as you can.

The club will do its best and we ask for your co-operation and patience.
