'The fact is some people just say, 'I won't bother'' - some fans say cashless ticketing 'nightmare' at GAA games is putting them off going
Charlie Moss is your typical GAA lifer - an avid fan, regular match-goer and volunteer, who used to be the chairman at Aghyaran St Davog's club near Castlederg, County Tyrone.
"There should still be a facility for the likes of pensioners to get their tickets rather than going online.Charlie Moss described the online ticketing system as a 'nightmare' The Northern Ireland Football League and Irish Rugby Football Union told BBC News NI that it is up to individual clubs within their respective sports to determine ticketing policies.When Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was asked about it in the Dáil , he replied that while he was "not fully across" the issue, there should be "some provision for cash".
Nodlaig Ni Bhrollaigh, a spokesperson for the campaign, said the policy was hurting match-goers who are uncomfortable with technology. "So the issue of ordering two or four hours before the match is that if it's bucketing or my own club is not playing, I might decide not to go and I'm stuck with the ticket or if I decide to go at the last minute. It takes the options out of it."Mr McSherry said while he was annoyed at online ticketing, he felt fortunate to have his daughter for help.
