Kerry fans fighting to score tickets

THOUSANDS of Kerry fans have begun a desperate quest for tickets for the football final, more in hope than confidence.

The county has an allocation of 10,000 tickets 6,000 seated and 4,000 for Hill 16 but this quota will go nowhere near meeting the demand. It includes an additional 1,000 stand tickets because the Kerry minors are also in the final, on Sunday week.

Kerry GAA Board is hoping to get some extra tickets from Croke Park next week, but no tickets will be on sale to the public. They will be distributed to more than 80 clubs in the county.
