All-Ireland Club Championship finals to be all ticket

Next week's All-Ireland Club Finals at Croke Park will be all-ticket.

The GAA's move ahead of the St Patrick's Day showpiece comes as a result of thousands of fans missing last year's finals at Croke Park due to poor turnstile arrangements.

Association president Sean Kelly has said they have learnt from their mistakes.

“People would tell you that you are crazy and would say that there is no need for it you should only really have all tickets for All Ireland's and a then for big matches, maybe the provincial finals," he said.

“Certainly to see the All Ireland Club finals go that way is a good thing for patrons in the interest of safety and that is the most important thing at the end of the day.”
