We are keen to ensure that all our patrons and supporters have the best possible experience. Where we provide 'cashless' options, we want to ensure that the process is made as easy as possible."

"Like all followers of Gaelic games, we have always had a special affection and admiration for Clare GAA, a dual county which is respected all over the country and beyond," said Future Ticketing business development manager Ronan Burns.

"That is why we are especially proud to be chosen as their ticketing partner. It does not surprise us in the least that a forward-looking county like Clare has chosen us because their commitment to excellence on and off the field has always been exemplary.

"With our software, Clare GAA have full control of the ticketing process and our products will enhance the already close relationship the GAA administrators in the county have with their supporters."
