GAA ‘has never done more’ to tackle touts

The GAA has “never done more” to tackle touts selling tickets at astronomical rates ahead of tomorrow’s All- Ireland football final.

Online auction sites such as eBay have been awash with tickets — most of which are selling for sums way over the face value of €80.

For example, bids for a single Hogan Stand ticket on the site yesterday stood at €870 — more than 10 times the face value price. Other tickets were going from €100 upwards. Earlier this week, a pair of tickets for the clash between Dublin and Kerry went for €2,020.
