[Galway Eagle]

Thanks! You and my block's group on WhatsApp seem to have pulled me into the lead at least for now.

Try any other forums?  Dodds's board, maybe some Big East forums (I think they're out there)?

Holylandofhoops, posted to my hurling team's WhatsApp group, my NUIGalway class WhatsApp group, my family in Mayo & London WhatsApp group, and my block's WhatsApp group. Oh also got about 6 votes from r/Assistance

Dodd's board is solid idea, I'll give that a shot.

Start the thread as “is it gunshots or fireworks” thread and transition to the contest for maximum engagement.

[Galway Eagle]

Holy crap idk how but this lady just shot up like crazy. This is on the verge of being lost

[Galway Eagle]

Eye feel yo pain. Same chit happened last Nov. 3, hey?

Please don't get my desperate plea thread locked by making it political. I really want to win this trip and certainly won't if my second largest vote advertisement gets locked.

[wadesworld]

Ever been to the Faroe Islands?  Going in October and starting to plan where we'll stay.

[rocket surgeon]

+8.

Best thing about this is I get to see what you minions actually look like. 

   a lot of people mistake me for arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime-damn-cover blown

[brewcity77]

Need more Scoopers to share. Wonder if them shooting up was a result of paying for votes.

[Galway Eagle]

Got my cousin in london to get his cousin, who's an influencer, to share it. It seemingly worked this AM!

as far as this board is concerned the last vote I cast was for President Michael D. Higgins in 2018.

I did! My cousin represented Ireland in pool and has loads of followers. Unfortunately that cousin is now mad at me and decided to pull his help.

Apparently if you dont read a contest's fine print and find out the tickets are for next year's all Ireland when Mayo's in the finals this year then some people get frustrated with you... 😬

But honestly who makes a highly public contest that says "All Ireland Tickets and Free Flight Home!" Two weeks before the  final?! 2022 should've been in big bold letters!

Well, I hope it's enough to keep you in the lead. Even if it's not this year, it's a fantastic prize.

It may be more enjoyable next year anyway.

Yeah, I mean the overall experience would be I'm sure.

But to give you some context, Dublin's the seven in a row champion beating Mayo in the finals some 4 or 5 of those and hadn't lost in since 2012) Mayo just beat Dublin in the Semi's so its the general attitude that we actually have a chance to get over the hump to win the championship for the first time since 1951 this year.

I would assume the rules prohibit you selling your prize. So you wouldn’t be able to go this year and then sell the prize to recoup some funds.

Or just threaten the organizers that if you don’t get to go this year, the mods will make sure the organizers never set foot in an Arby’s again.

It'd be impossible to just go. The reason these tickets are worth their weight in gold is because of their allocation. They allocate a few thousand to the two counties playing, which first go to season ticket holders, then are filtered down to the local GAA clubs, then they allocate to GAA clubs around Ireland based on population. Next they go to sponsors and to the international GAA organization. So for context, the USGAA (includes Canada as well) gets 30 tickets and usually has a raffle for them, which is how I got to go in 2016 when that photo was taken. Point is that tickets really don't just go on sale they are purely based on luck or connections.

[Galway Eagle]

Well great now I'm getting accused of cheating because I caught them cheating. What a cluster unnatural carnal knowledge. I offered them the airlines ticket and instead they're posting crazy things.
