Laois GAA leave Ticketmaster stable to sign ticketing deal with Offaly firm
O'Moore County joins other counties to get services big ticketing company in Tullamore
www.leinsterexpress.ieI don’t currently have live tool access to pull the very latest updates. Here’s a brief overview based on recent reporting and context around Ticketmaster and GAA:
-
In Ireland, Ticketmaster has historically been involved with Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) ticketing, including incentives and county-level arrangements, but the landscape has been shaped by competition and regulatory scrutiny. This has included discussions around rebates, loyalty credits, and compliance with Irish competition rules. These details have appeared in industry coverage and local reporting over the past couple of years. [Sources: TheTicketingBusiness report on incentives in 2023; local coverage of county deals and ticketing providers in 2025]
-
In late 2024 and 2025, some counties began exploring or shifting to alternative ticketing platforms for county-level events, sometimes driven by a desire for more integrated direct-to-supporter sales or to diversify providers beyond a single vendor. This included partnerships with firms other than Ticketmaster in certain counties, according to regional news. [Sources: Laois GAA coverage 2025]

For the most current, “latest news” status, I’d recommend checking these sources right now:
- Ticketmaster Ireland / GAA dedicated news pages
- Irish sports business outlets (e.g., TheTicketingBusiness, Sport for Business)
- Local GAA county boards’ official announcements
If you want, I can search for the latest headlines and summarize them with citations, or, if you prefer, focus on a specific county or event (e.g., a particular All-Ireland sem-final) to see how the ticketing arrangement is described.
