This Spring Series will return for 2012, with Dublin footballers and hurlers playing their home Allianz League matches in Croke Park.
The Series will open with a repeat of the 2011 GAA All-Ireland Football final with Dublin taking on Kerry under-lights on Saturday, 4 February.
This will be preceded by a very attractive Division Two Allianz League football fixture between Kildare and Tyrone.
A second attractive double header will take place on 11 March when the Allianz League Champions Dublin take on Jimmy Barry Cork in hurling and the footballers will face Armagh.
The Tipperary hurlers and the Ulster football champions Donegal will travel to Croke Park for the third and final night of the Series on 24 March.
Entertainment at the matches will be provided by Irish bands The Rubberbandits, Ham Sandwich and another very special act to be announced shortly.
Adult tickets for a single match are priced at just €13 while admission for a child is just €5. The bundled Spring Series tickets to include all three events in the Spring Series will cost €30 for an adult and €10 for a child.
Dublin GAA has also embarked on an innovative revenue share initiative with all clubs in the capital so that Dublin clubs will also benefit from the sales of these tickets with €1 for every €3 earned from ticket sales being returned to clubs.
Andy Kettle, Chairman of the Dublin GAA County Board, said, "We are delighted to be building on the success of last year’s Spring Series by holding our home matches for the Allianz Leagues in Croke Park once more.
"Value for our fans is extremely important to us and we believe we’re certainly offering this with our ticket pricing schemes and our revenue share scheme with our 91 clubs.
"We’re giving GAA supporters the chance to see some of Ireland’s most talented sportsmen in action as well as fantastic music acts in what should be a great few evenings. Where else would you get six games and three music acts in the magnificent setting of Croke Park under lights for €30?
“This promotional activity is a great example of how County Boards, sponsors and the GAA can be proactive in promoting our national games.
"After a superb 2011 campaign which saw Dublin win the Allianz League in hurling and reach the Allianz Leagues football final and well over 100,000 fans attend over four nights, we are hoping for a repeat of this success on and off the field."
