Replay crowds to pay semi-final ticket prices

ADVANCE sale of tickets for Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC semi-final meeting of Kilkenny and Wexford in Croke Park meant that the GAA were unable to consider an accommodation for Cork and Waterford fans who now have to pay the cost of semi-final tickets (€45) for the quarter-final replay.

It amounts to an extra €10 per adult ticket, on top of all the costs that are incurred in travelling to Dublin and further increases the expense for Cork supporters who will attend the footballers’ game on Saturday against Sligo.

According to GAA spokesman, Feargal McGill, the sale of numerous tickets before the arrangements for the quarter-final replay were confirmed ‘hampered’ them in making a gesture.
