Hurling Ticket Scramble

The immediate focus of Tipperary hurling supporters might be on Sunday’s National Hurling League final against Cork, but fans have been urged to get their tickets for the upcoming Munster Championship games when they go on sale today (Wednesday April 2nd) at 12 noon.

Tickets will be available via https://www.gaa.ie/tickets, Ticketmaster and selected Centra and Supervalu outlets for the majority of round-robin games. Ticket prices have also been confirmed with an increase of €5 on last year, the second increase in the space of three years. However, such is set to be the demand, it is expected the allocation of tickets that go on sale will sell out quickly.

For the matches involving Tipperary, tickets for both home games against Limerick (April 20th) and Waterford (May 18th) look set to be freely available such is the capacity of FBD Semple Stadium while for the away games against Cork (April 27th) and Clare (May 10th) there are limited stand and terrace tickets available on sale.

Tipperary County Board will have an allocation for all four games to distribute through the clubs, but they have urged supporters to not to see this as a guarantee of getting a ticket and to see if they can get them through a public sale.

Clubs will also be able to apply for juvenile group orders for the Munster Championship round robin games at Supervalu Páirc Uí Chaoimh and FBD Semple Stadium through https://munster.gaa.ie/tickets.

Tipperary GAA have also confirmed they only secured a small allocation of tickets for players, ex-players, and sponsors prior to the public sale for the Allianz National Hurling League final at SuperValu Pairc Ui Chaoimh which sold out in less than twelve hours last week and will be a 45,000 sellout on banks of the Lee.

Tipperary GAA got less than an hours’ notice before tickets went on public sale last Tuesday afternoon and within hours all tickets had been snapped up for the double-header including the division 1B final between Offaly and Waterford, although most spectators will be ravenous Cork supporters looking to see their county win a first National League title since 1998.
