Get your ultimate FanPic at the upcoming GAA Football All-Ireland Semi Finals and Final

Eircom, proud sponsors of the GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Championship today launched the eircom GAA Football FanPic initiative. The initiative is offering GAA Football fans the chance to experience even more at the upcoming GAA Football Championship Semi-Finals and the All-Ireland Football Final.

eircom is bringing the 360 degree picture initiative to Croke Park for the first time at the GAA Football Senior Championship Semi-Finals and Final. The simple platform allows fans to search and spot themselves in a 360 degree photograph taken of the crowds at each game and then tag or share their photo via their Facebook account. FanPic has had a huge uptake from fans attending other major sporting events in stadiums across the world.

Attendees at the GAA Football All-Ireland Semi-Finals and Final are invited to tag and then share their ultimate FanPic, and if you were at yesterday’s game, the pic is up and live from the match, so see if you can spot yourself in the crowd!.

Fans just need to log on to www.experiencemore/fanpic from 4.00 pm the day after each game to spot and tag themselves amongst the crowd. Fans that tag themselves at the Semi-Final matches are in with a chance to win VIP tickets to the GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Championship Final. The interactive platform also allows fans to spot and tag friends providing fans with the ultimate GAA Football All-Ireland Championship memento.

GAA Football fans unable to attend each game will also have an opportunity to win VIP tickets to the All-Ireland Final by playing “Find our GAA Stars” game. The game challenges fans to spot one of eircom’s GAA Ambassadors; Colm “The Gooch” Cooper, Ciaran Whelan, Michael Murphy, Donie Shine, Mickey Harte or Johnny Doyle in the crowd, and answer a simple question. Each game will feature different GAA ambassadors for fans to find. Fans that play the game after the GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Championship Final will be in with a chance to win VIP tickets to the International Rules Series 2013 in Croke Park on October 26th.
