Cashless GAA matches should happen once you are sure every person interested knows how to use a phone, according to one Cavan councillor.
Cashless GAA matches should happen once there are no more people who can't use phones, according to one Cavan councillor.policy only allows people to buy tickets on gaa.ie, ticketmaster.ie, in selected Centra and SuperValu shops, and in GAA clubs.“ostracises” older GAA fans who would prefer to buy tickets at the stadium before the game with cash.she received many complaints when cashless tickets were introduced in Cavan in 2020.
“They have introduced some measures since to try and alleviate the problem, but they still haven't introduced cash,” she said. A survey from Deloitte in March 2024 found that 96% of Irish people own a smartphone, while total of 98% of 18 to 75-year-olds use their smartphone every day.Defenders of cashless GAA have said statistics like this show people can book their tickets ahead of time online.“It may be small numbers, but these are people who have dedicated their lives to the GAA,” she said.
“If it’s that amount of people who have phones and smartphones, it won’t be long until there is nobody .“What is wrong with opening up one gate to let people in with cash?”There are also issues with the app, according to Cllr O’Reilly, that prove the cashless policy is unnecessary. “I've gone to marches where the app has been down all morning and people can't buy tickets, so when you do go to a game... you can buy tickets,” she said.The councillor also pointed out that the GAA receives a “substantial amount” from taxpayers, so they should be more inclusive for all Irish people.
