THE GAA HAVE announced a change to pricing for juveniles for the 2025 Allianz Leagues, as part of the ticketing arrangements announced today for the spring inter-county competitions.
Childrenโs tickets (for Under-16s) will be โฌ5 for all Division 1 and Division 2 Fixtures in football and Division 1A & 1B in hurling. These tickets can only be purchased alongside an adult ticket.
Previously, juveniles were admitted free of charge to games, with the exception of fixtures where there was reserved seating and where there was an issue with capacity.
This new arrangement has been introduced after consultation with counties and to assist with event control and health and safety protocols for fixtures that attract bigger attendances.
It will not apply for Divisions 3 & 4 in football or Divisions 2 & 3 in hurling. A juvenile charge may also apply to other fixtures if required due to capacity.
Elswhere prices for adults will remain unchanged at โฌ20, while it will be โฌ15 for senior citizens/students for Division 1 and 2 games in football, and Division 1A and 1B games in hurling.
Tickets for Division 3 and 4 games in football will be priced at โฌ12 and โฌ10, with the hurling league games in Divisions 2, 3 and 4, will be โฌ10 and โฌ8 respectively.
An early bird offer for the month of December will see a โฌ5 discount on adult tickets for all opening round games across all divisions in both codes.
The GAA have also confirmed the availability of the new league bundle tickets:
Football Division 1 & 2
โ Adult Match ticket price: โฌ20
- 7 matches for โฌ100

Tin hat on but a fiver for children under 16 is reasonable enough. Some great value there for match bundles and those with season tickets. Certain people will still complain anyway, no matter the cost.
@Aidan Farrell: only a fiver but still unnecessary imho, if you are lucky enough to have 3 or 4 kids it adds up. Regarding a health and safety angle, just make it compulsory register a free U16 ticket.
Health and safety protocols my b @ l l 0 x, this is nothing more than typical money grabbing by the GAA,
@Martin: Exactly. What 14 or 15 y/o is going to want to go to the game with their parents. Theyโll be scratching their heads in 10 years time wondering why no young adults are attending.
GAA. Shooting themselves on the foot again. The kids are there future.
What a bloody joke charging kids..grab all assocation..
