GAA set for €1.5m replay jackpot

With no American football scheduled for headquarters, the GAA are set for a €1.5million windfall as Croke Park hosts the All-Ireland semi-final replay between Kerry and Mayo.

Three years on from their Limerick epic, Croker will house the 2017 repeat encounter at 3pm ahead of Sunday’s clash of Dublin and Tyrone, meaning the GAA will expect around 130,000 people through the Croke Park turnstiles next weekend.

Ticket details have yet to be confirmed for Saturday’s replay, although prices were reduced for Mayo and Roscommon’s quarter-final replay by €5 (from €35 to €30 stand tickets and from €25 to €20 terrace tickets).
