Fundraising

Fundraising opportunities via group ticketing

Bring your team, club or group to a Shamrock Rovers match and raise money for your club at the same time. 50% of the value of all tickets purchased through your group booking is donated back to your club.

For example: your club sells €500 worth of match tickets - €250 goes back to your club.

It's a simple way to enjoy a matchday together while generating additional funds for your club.
