Downpatrick sells General Admission for its public areas and three separately booked hospitality spaces: Byerley Turk Private Suite, Brownlow Suite and Dunleath Suite. Hospitality and Punter’s Packages must be pre-booked; the General Admission FAQ says walk-up purchase is possible, although the ticket page also contains an online-only notice. Hospitality rates are selected by fixture in the booking system, while the Punter’s Package page publishes a per-person rate.
