    Most will be distributed among your the clubs, so get onto your local one. Even if you're not a club member, put your name in with the secretary early and you should secure tickets. There will also be a few thousand for sale from both county boards, so you'd want to get down to Semple Stadium/Nowlan Park on the date they're being sold. If you still cant get any after trying the above avenues, you will almost certainly get tickets outside Croke Park on match day. I have been to four all ireland finals this decade and for two of those finals i purchased tickets outside Quinns bar on Dromcondra Road only a stones throw from the ground for half nothing. They couldn't give them away quick enough. I had my final tickets already purchased in 2007, but outside the same pub i saw one guy selling 3 tickets for E50. There was loads going around. Trust me on this one lads, there'll be no problem getting tickets.

    Same happened last year. There was no problem getting tickets for the hurling final outside Croke Park on the day.

    If you are not involved in a club, you have to do a bit of work, but as pointed out, its generally ok to get tickets.

    The years it gets a bit difficult, is when both teams have not been involved in the final for some time. With Kilkenny as they are, its not a problem at the moment.

    In general, there is no public sale of tickets though.

    Ticketmaster don't ever seem to do them for the final. Demand is too great!

    Another thing with Ticketmaster. When you buy a number of tickets, including children's tickets for a G.A.A. match, you can find yourself in a difficult position. I discovered this when I needed to buy one additional child's ticket some days after already buying some from Ticketmaster.
    I was unable to buy an additional child's ticket unless I bought ANOTHER adult's ticket, on top of the five tickets I had bought from Ticketmaster some days earlier. In the end I bought an adult ticket for the extra child. I could understand the theory of not selling individual child's tickets but I did feel hard done by after all the G.A.A. tickets I have bought down through the years from clubs and from Ticketmaster!
