GAA cancel season tickets amid guidelines 'uncertainty'

The GAA have cancelled season tickets ahead of the commence of the inter-county championships later this year.

The organisation claims that there is 'no clarity' over the number of potential fans in stadia ahead of the hurling and football championships, according to an email sent to season-ticket holders.

The GAA also say that they had 'no choice' but to take action in cancelling season tickets.

The correspondence is pointed in its comments on the government advice on easing guidelines on social gatherings.

The email continues:

"Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and with no clarity on the potential number of spectators allowed in attendance for our proposed Inter-County Championship later in the year we have been left with no option but to cancel your GAA season ticket for 2020. 

"Your season ticket will not be eligible for the remainder of the 2020 season.

"A refund of €40 for all adult tickets and €10 for all juvenile tickets will be paid into your accounts within the next two weeks.

"We have delayed taking this step until now as we hoped that Government guidelines would be eased to the point where we could accommodate all Season Ticket holders to attend their chosen games.

"This is becoming increasingly uncertain and has led us to make this unwelcome decision.

"Thank you for your understanding throughout these uncertain times. Season tickets will be available for renewal for 2021 which we will contact you about in due course."
