Two rounds into the new season, Irish football is experiencing a surge in attendances and record-breaking ticket sales. At the heart of this growth is TicketCo, helping clubs streamline operations, boost revenue, and enhance fan experiences across the league.

TicketCo's partner clubs in the Republic of Ireland—Bohemians, Cork City, Sligo Rovers, Derry City, Bray Wanderers, and UCD—have all reported strong attendance figures and an uplift in fan engagement during the season's opening matches.

For Sligo Rovers, joining TicketCo has quickly led to tangible results:

“We moved to TicketCo last year and it has proved to be a huge success. Their system is very user-friendly, and we’ve seen a 10% growth in season ticket sales as a result,” said Shane Crossan at Sligo Rovers.

Dublin giants Bohemians are similarly positive about the impact TicketCo has had on matchday operations and supporter satisfaction.

“The biggest thing for us is how our fans have responded. Demand for tickets has never been higher, and having a system that efficiently manages that demand has been crucial for fan experience,” said Billy Morris, Operations Coordinator at Bohemians FC.

Cork City has also experienced significant benefits since adopting TicketCo, with an increasing number of fans shifting to digital ticketing solutions.

“We have been very happy with our experience with TicketCo. The platform is very straightforward for our supporters to use, especially when it comes to doing different initiatives and offers. The fact that such a high percentage of our sales (both match tickets and season tickets) are now online is a testament to the ease of the user experience. From an internal point of view, we are very happy with how the system operates and the level of support we receive from the team.”

Éanna Buckley, Chief Operating Officer at Cork City Football Club.


A recent case study with Bohemians FC highlighted several key benefits realised by the club since adopting TicketCo:

  • Enhanced Matchday Efficiency: Reduced queuing times and streamlined entry management, significantly improving the overall fan experience.
  • Improved Revenue Opportunities: Integrated upselling capabilities and more effective ticket management have resulted in increased revenue for the club.
  • Better Data Management: Bohemians now have complete control and ownership of their fan data, enabling more targeted and effective communication and marketing campaigns.
  • Stronger Fan Engagement: A seamless purchasing experience and intuitive digital interface have been central to increasing fan satisfaction and loyalty.
