Kilkenny GAA confirms price increase for club match admission
The price increase follows a motion from a number of clubs at last year’s County Convention
Kilkenny GAA have confirmed that they have increased the club match admission fee for the upcoming senior, intermediate and junior leagues.
Following a motion from a number of clubs at last year’s County Convention, the admission fee for adult league games has increased from €5 to €10.
According to a Kilkenny County Board spokesperson, the new admission fee will provide clubs with additional income to help meet the ongoing costs of running and developing their facilities, as well as support teams and volunteers.
“The previous admission charge of €5 had remained unchanged since the introduction of the euro in 2002, having previously been £5 before the changeover,” a County Board spokesperson said.
“During that time, the costs associated with hosting games and maintaining club facilities have increased significantly.
“Importantly, all gate receipts from league fixtures are retained by the participating clubs,” they added.
“Kilkenny GAA appreciates the continued support of supporters, whose attendance at league games plays a vital role in sustaining our clubs and ensuring our local games continue to thrive.”
