Ticketing Caoimhín O Seasnáin & Emma Ní Thormaí
GAA Ticket Office Providing regional ticketing support to all County Boards in 4 key areas:
1. Pre-Match Ticketing Preparation: Centrally allocating tickets over to Counties via the online ticketing application (AKA SAM ). Promotion: Encouraging County Boards to push Pre-Sales (at all levels; Secretaries, Treasures, PRO s etc. Purchase through club and County Board online or in selected SUPERVALU or CENTRA stores Reconciliation: Guiding counties in successfully managing their financial reports using SAM. Upskilling County Board Officials on SAM capabilities (customer account management and information storage, filing invoices/receipts etc.)
2. Overseeing the GAA Season Ticket Preparing the data for (and guiding) County Board Officials in uploading/downloading/ operating the hand held scanners. Tracking Season Ticket holders match day attendance in amalgamation with the specific County Boards.
3. Bosca and Scanner Support Each County Board has been issued Boscas from the GAA Ticket Office. Training and Upskilling in the maintaining and operating (features/capabilities) of the Bosca is conducted annually via the GAA Ticket Office. In some cases, County Board visits are arranged in order to train up a new County Board official or to troubleshoot/solve equipment problems - should they arise.
3. Bosca and Scanner Support continued: Bosca use is essential during the League and Championships campaigns, and all secretaries and treasurers are encouraged to use them correctly. In recent years, Bosca use has shown substantial increases in club gates within counties. Correct use of the Bosca especially in the area of Bosca receipts (gate receipts) - is imperative in accordance with GAA Finance Dept. regulations.
4. Match Day Support The GAA Ticket Office will try to have a facilitator present at large attendance fixtures such as provincial semi-finals and finals nationwide. County Board, Online + Centra and SuperValu store sales are taken into consideration and will determine attendance prediction. This will be monitored via SAM centrally here in Croke Park. Communication between the County board and GAA Ticket Office is imperative in the lead up to a fixture as the following decisions will need to be determined: A. Scanner numbers B. Ticket collection points C. Supplementary Boscas - collection/delivery D. Personnel on duty (Tickets.ie and GAA Ticket Office support staff)
