GT vs. f$u Ireland Game Tickets

[mtodd30]

I had errors too, I just called the ticket office

HELP! HELP!! Has anyone purchased tickets yet? I got an email from GT saying season ticket holders or Alex-Tharpe contributors can prepurchase tix with priority up to Feb 12. We have already committed well over $10,000 for the trip over and an extended tour situation. So I would bite the bullet and pay $500 or so for 2 tix but I would like to be able to purchase through the GT priority situation to get good seats and to know where they are located. It looks like, if I buy through Aer Lingus, I have no idea where and what kind of seats we would end up with. And I keep running into a wall when I try to go through the GT link to ticket buying. Can anyone please give me some feedback with what kind of results you might have had? The sooner the better because it looks like the “priority” situation runs out Feb 12!

I haven't hit the actual "checkout" button yet, because I'm hoping to snag cheaper tickets elsewhere, but I was able to add the correct quantities to my cart and have the $100 pre-order deposit show up for me to purchase. You shouldn't be able to buy the actual tickets yet though, if that's what you were hoping for. Sounds like they'll get assigned by points once the pre-order window closses and then they just charge the same card for the outstanding balance.

Thanks, Buzzn3, but how did you get to the correct place to order? The link in the GT email put me into a loop.

The link I had sent me to login to my GT ticket account.

After I did that, I was at this screen and selected the Ireland game.

That sent me to this screen with the stadium layout and ticket options/pricing. I had put in the number of tickets I wanted per section, then hit the "Add to Cart" button.

That then took me to the view of my cart which showed no tickets in my cart, but instead the $100 pre-order deposit.

Hopefully hitting checkout from there should work, but I haven't confirmed myself.

Thanks again, for all of your work on this, Buzzn3. Looks like I’ve got it!

I did the same thing as outlined above. No problem and confirmed the seat allocation request.

I'm not rich but I can afford the trip just fine. I could afford a $245 steak just fine, too, but I wouldn't enjoy it knowing how much it cost, and how I could probably enjoy a meal at McDonald's just as much if not more - but that's just me. Wifey and I are going on the trip, because I've always wanted to go to Ireland and she would like to go, too. The game dovetailed with our plans perfectly, until I found out how much are the tickets. Everybody has their price. I'm simply not paying $245 for a football ticket. And if nobody else would, either, tickets wouldn't cost $245. I don't begrudge anyone their tickets - have fun at the game. But I'm just not paying it. I'll watch the game from my sofa and go to Ireland in September, unless I can somehow find tickets cheaper. Like I said, everybody has their price, some more and some less. The top price I would be willing to pay is ~$150.

WE are cheap compared to many. I thought about your post when I saw the AVERAGE Super Bowl ticket was like $4700. Some up to $70K.

For $12 K, my wife and I can have a nice two week vacation around Europe ( especially Eastern Europe). No way we spend Super Bowl money, but the GT tickets at $245 aren't bad. 0% chance the game is sold out, so I'd wait. Tour Ireland more if you miss the game. Win, win.

We are touring Europe for 2 weeks with $8k! So it can be done!

I got my allocation. 126, pretty good seats! I don’t think I have a ton of A-T points either.

I’m 127, I’ve been a season ticket holder for only a few years since I’m only 25. I’m glad we got lower bowl for the price we’re paying!

Thanks again, buzzn3. With your help I’m going to get this done! Thanks!

 

[BurdellJacket]

And you too, MidtownJacket. I kept getting caught in a blivet and couldn’t get there?

 

[MidtownJacket]

Whew, apparently there was some issue with my original form submission, but my GTAA contact got me in to 331.

Pumped to be going - bringing my dad - and it’s going to be huge!

Let go jackets

This whole ticket process is frustrating. There's no communication when we're getting our tickets, where the tickets are exactly, etc. I paid a couple months ago and crickets other than a thanks for paying message.

Thought prepaid/reserved ticket locations were allocated these last couple days... maybe worth calling about?

Actual tickets won't be distributed directly from ticketmaster until July though, I think I read.

They were working through them yesterday. If you haven’t received an email with your location you should call or email:
