Paying €100 is 'a lot' for All-Ireland ticket admits GAA president BurnsMichael BoltonGAA president Jarlath Burns says he understands that a €100 “is a lot” for a stand ticket at next month’s All-Ireland senior finals. Speaking on RTÉ Radio 1’s “Morning Ireland” show on Monday morning, Mr Burns said "We do understand that €100 is a lot for an All-Ireland ticket. “It was a very big move for us to go to three figure but remember it’s the first time since 2018, it’s only the second time since 2011 (that the GAA has increased its final ticket prices). We have 350 coaches, we’re spending €7 million on those at the moment and that’s going to go up to €12m. That’s going up to €4.5m next year and the year after up to €5m.
