Tracey Kennedy ‘surprised’ by demand for Munster SHC final tickets

Cork chairperson Tracey Kennedy admits that trying to meet the demand for tickets from clubs for Sunday’s Munster SHC final against Clare has been challenging.

With all online and agency (Centra and SuperValu) ticket allocations for the game in Thurles being sold out last Friday — soon after they were put on sale — both Cork and Clare boards have faced significant ticket requests from their clubs.

“The reality is nobody expected a sell-out game initially given that for the same pairing last year there wasn’t anywhere near a sell-out,” said Kennedy. “I think it’s fair to say everybody was surprised by the demand. The reality is when there is such a demand all requests can’t be met.
