Community Ticket Scheme

In 2024, 100 pairs of complimentary tickets were made available, by lottery, for each concert night held in Croke Park.  This amounted to a total of 1,200 free tickets between the Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC and Coldplay concerts.
Lottery draws for complimentary tickets to the to the two Leinster Rugby matches held in Croke Park, during 2024, were also offered to residents on the list.
Tickets to the All-Ireland the Hurling and Football Championship Finals are not generally available for public sale and 100 pairs of tickets were made available for purchase through the Community Ticket Scheme. This meant that residents had the opportunity to attend these high-demand events.

Ticket Draw

If you live within a 1.5Km radius of Croke Park stadium you are eligible to register and be included in ticket draws.
Registration does not automatically entitle applicants to tickets, but to a place in the draw.  This is a random draw so there is no guarantee that you will be successful; but every applicant has an equal chance of success. People say they have never won tickets or have not won for several years – unfortunately it is the luck of the draw.
It is not possible to publish the names of individuals who win tickets but a list of streets where winners live is published on the website.
