Croke Park Ticket Scheme
A concert ticket presale may be offered at the discretion of the concert promoter, to those who have registered their email address for the Community Ticket Scheme. These presale offers provide an opportunity to residents to avail of tickets, and usually, before they are made available to the public.
In 2025,100 pairs of complimentary tickets have been made available, by lottery, for each concert night held in Croke Park. This amounts to a total of 600 free tickets between the Oasis and Robbie Williams concerts. The ticket draws for the three concerts took place on March 5th and winners have been notified.
100 pairs of tickets for the Leinster V Bulls URC Final were made available as were 100 pairs for the Leinster V Harlequins matches played in Croke Park, and were offered to residents on a first come first served basis until the quota was reached.
Tickets to the All-Ireland the Hurling and Football Championship Finals are not generally available for public sale. 100 pairs of tickets will be made available for purchase through the Community Ticket Scheme.
It is important to note that while Croke Park facilitates these offers, concert ticket sales and presale ticket offers are managed by the ticket agent and the concert promoter. Croke Park itself is not involved in the sale of concert tickets.
Ticket Draw
Several differing methods are used for the pre-sale offers. If you live within a 1.5Km radius of Croke Park stadium you are eligible to register and be included in ticket draws. Register at the following link: https://crokepark.ie/communityregister
Registration does not automatically entitle applicants to tickets. When there is a draw for tickets there is no guarantee that you will be successful; but everyone has an equal chance of success. People say they have never won tickets or have not won for several years – unfortunately that it is the luck of the draw.
For the AC/DC concert, in 2024, a link was provided to everyone who was registered with Croke Park. This link was subsequently shared on social media which resulted in non-residents being able to purchase tickets defeating the purpose of an offer limited to residents only.
Following discussion with residents, and the concert promoters, a different system was used for the 2025 Robbie Williams concert presale. Each person registered received an email asking them to submit their updated details to receive a code. The first 1,500 residents who completed the forms were allocated codes to purchase tickets as that was the limit of what was available.
All those registered were eligible to participate in the ticket lottery for concerts scheduled in 2025 (100 pairs of complimentary tickets per night) to be held in March 2025.
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.

The database of those who are registered is divided out between households located inside the event day cordon and those located outside the cordon. If you receive the regular updates from Croke Park, then you are on the database and included in any draws/offers. The database is updated regularly adding in any new registrations weekly.
Weighted Allocation
The ticket draws are weighted as follows:
60% of tickets are allocated to households located inside the event day cordon.
40% of tickets are allocated to households situated outside the event day cordon but within a 1,5KM radius of the stadium.
The Community Ticket Draws are conducted under the independent observation of An Garda Síochána, ensuring integrity and fairness for all participants.
Each person listed on the database is assigned a randomised number (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/randarray-function-21261e55-3bec-4885-86a6-8b0a47fd4d33) and sorted from the lowest to highest.
The first 60 rows are selected from the Inner Cordon list and the first 40 from the Outer Cordon as the ‘winners’ of the ticket lottery, depending on the number of concerts/matches/etc. Those selected are contacted by email and can either accept or reject the offer.
