GAA fans forced out to the wings
It is their practice now to close off some of the best seats in Croke Park, the upper-levels in the Cusack and Hogan stands, during these fixtures.
As a result, the worst quality tickets were offered for sale to the queues waiting at Nowlan Park, Kilkenny, in the run-up to the hurling semi-final against Galway. The better seats had already gone to the clubs.
