Touts seek €550 for All-Ireland final tickets

GAA President Nickey Brennan has conceded it’s “very, very difficult” to stop the sale of All-Ireland final tickets for up to 10 times their face value.

One particular website has cashed in on the interest in this weekend’s hurling decider between Kilkenny and Limerick by putting stand tickets for sale at €550 each.

They’re even brazenly advertising tickets for the September 16 football final between Cork and Kerry at €400 each, with the participants only known since last Sunday.
