Under-16s are to be charged admission to GAA national league matches for the first time in 2025. Tickets for Division One and Two NFL and Division 1A and 1B NHL fixtures will be €5 and must be purchased along with an adult ticket.
This will not apply to lower divisions but may be charged in other fixtures if there are capacity issues.
Otherwise, admission prices will remain unchanged for top-level matches at €20 and €15 for senior citizens and students. For NFL Divisions Three and Four and NHL Divisions 2, 3 and 4, the entrance charge will be €12 and €8. An early bird discount of €5 off all opening round tickets is available in December.
The introduction of juvenile charging is stated to be after “consultation with our counties and to assist with event control and health and safety protocols for fixtures that attract bigger attendances”.

In September, Wexford began charging for unaccompanied juveniles after a 12-year-old was attacked by other children last September.
Availability of the new league bundle tickets was also announced.
Seven NFL Division One and Two matches will cost €100 with four for €65. The same packages for Division Three and Four will be €70 and €40, respectively. NHL Divisions 1A and 1B, offer a six-match ticket for €90 and three fixtures for €50.
As has been the practice in recent years, all tickets must be purchased in advance via county boards, gaa.ie or from participating Centra and SuperValu retail outlets.
