The Daily PollTICKETS FOR TOMORROW’S All-Ireland Hurling Final tomorrow between Cork and Clare are said to be like gold dust.
Fans from all around the Rebel county and the Banner are scouring social media, ringing up relatives and entering raffles for a chance to get a ticket to the much-anticipated final.
For fans who have not been successful (yet), there will be televised coverage of the clash on RTÉ One and also, for the first time in history, on the BBC.
But, that being said, today we want to know… Did you manage to nab tickets to tomorrow’s All-Ireland Hurling Final?

Never in my lifetime did I think an amateur sporting organisation would ever get away with charging 100 euro for a final ticket, where nobody on the day is actually paid except the folks that run said “amateur” organisation. Also kinda amazes me how the media havent made more of this and treated like its just one of those things. This coupled with the farce of GAAGO really does raise the question. Why are the GAA still getting money from the taxpayers when they clearly seem to not care about treating their fans like complete cash cows and mugs!
@Tom Newell: yet never criticism about about charging for entrance to all other sports and entertainments most of which recieve subvention from the government.
@Tom Newell: Well the millions the gaa make and save the irish exchequer might be it,also the gaago farce,you do realise there is more live gaa games on free to air tv now then ever in the history of the gaa,you clearly know nothing about the gaa.
@Tom Newell: How do you think every parish in the country has facilities the envy of every other sport? Or do you think the suits in Croke Park are heading for the airport with suit cases full of cash?
@Tom Newell: delusional but comical
@Tom Newell: how to you think the organisation funds club houses, football pitches, coaches , players expenses and all manner of costs, with fresh air I suppose. And for your information a season on GAAGO can be purchased for 69 Euro. Or of course you could join your local club and watch it for free. Do you think broadcasting matches on GAAGO costs nothing, do you go to work for nothing. At lastly, most GAA matches are not all ticket and you can buy your ticket on line or at the ground . Finally is your Skysport subscription free, even though many of the sports shown are also amateur
What do you say to a cork fan with a good looking bird on his Arm …..
Nice tattoo:)
@larry smith: “good-looking bird on his arm”??????? That a throwback to the 70s?????
@Buster Lawless: like a bird I think that one flew over your head .
@larry smith: classy guy!!!!!!!!
No I haven’t managed to get any tickets, but I’m thinking of joining the queue at Crown Paints, A huge crowd, must be a special offer on at the moment.
If you know someone working corporate level in a bank, you get one no problem. It’s who you know that’s counts which is wrong on every level imo..
Jeez, tickets are like ‘hens teeth’ at the winter solstice.
Fair play to both teams for getting to Final day…. There’s been some fantastic hurling on display all season.
As a ‘neutral’ methinks Clare will scrape over the line by very minimum, maybe 1-2points……The rebels had their Final last Sunday week
The participating counties should be alloted at least 60 per cent of the tickets. As far as I know both Clare and Cork got about 16,000 each. Not nearly enough.
As a neutral I wouldn’t want one. Proper gaa men from Cork and Clare should get them. Gaa women also, everyone from those counties. Yet you will have riain and dermot from kilmacud in there creating zero atmosphere and looking for a pie. Flakes
I wouldn’t go to it even if it was free, absolutely no interest
@qffaffaf affrafrfraf: your profile picture suits your persona perfectly!
Just waiting on the result of the louth gaa referees draw, hoping my name gets pulled fingers x
Yep managed to get one thankfully. Gonna be a greasy sod tomorrow, if the forecast is right.. which is a pity. Good luck to Clare.. but Rebels Abu.
Article says the match is being shown live on BBC for the first time. That is incorrect – last year’s Kilkenny v Limerick contest was broadcast live on BBC
@John Manahan: Is that BBC NI though..
I’m not from either Cork or Clare, so no interest
They are a farming disgrace withe paywall ripping off the fans.
Gaa and surrounding pubs round croker will be happy with a draw coz they’ll get eegits with money on the hip willing to fork out 4 a second round of hurling and same with the football
I had two tickets. But someone broke into my house and left two more
Hat trick final !
Not a hope guys.
Outside Cork & Clare who cares?
@Tómas WD: you would be surprised
Any all Ireland final that ends in a draw – the rematch revenue ,once the staff have been paid , should be divided up among all the clubs in the country
@Means Of Escape: all funds are divided among all the clubs of the association
Most intercounty matches are now all ticket, distributed through the clubs. So to have any chance you need to join your local club.
have your say
