THE GAA will charge U16s €5 per game for next season’s Allianz League Division One and Two games in both codes (1A and 1B in hurling) - extending the financial arrangement that exists for Championship games, with higher prices set for the latter stages of the All-Ireland series.
In a statement on ticket prices for the upcoming National Leagues, the GAA said it reserves the right to increase these prices for games that may reach capacity.
U16 tickets can only be purchased with an adult ticket, while juveniles can still avail of free admission to Division Three and Four football and Division Two and Three hurling games.
“This new arrangement has been introduced after consultation with our counties and to assist with event control and health and safety protocols for fixtures that attract bigger attendances,” the GAA said.

Prices for adults and senior citizens/students for Division One and Two NFL games and 1A and 1B NHL games remain at €20 (adults) and €15 (senior citizens/students).
It is anticipated the admission prices in the six counties will fluctuate on whatever the exchange rate is on any given day as the transaction will be in euro.
Tickets for NFL Divisions Three and Four games will be priced at €12 and €10 and for NHL Divisions Two, Three and Four, admission will be €10 and €8, respectively.
Meanwhile, the GAA has called an urgent online meeting with county board officials, including chairpersons, secretaries and treasurers tonight to discuss the Revenue’s risk reviews of counties.
It is feared some counties could be at risk of tax liability after Galway and Mayo did not sign off on their 2024 accounts.
The GAA’s Director-General Tom Ryan said it’s important that there was a “degree of consistency in terms of approach and the best way to do that centrally is to offer some guidance to counties so that they can navigate their way through that process.”
