Many fans responded angrily to the announcement, saying they had been unable to access the website to buy tickets.

@Tickets_ie I had 6 tickets reserved and due to your inadequate system they timed out before payment, joke!

@breakingnewsie Shameful selling tickets when people are travelling home from the match and website crashes and they now pull the plug #GAA

Others complained that some people were allowed purchase tens of tickets.

One of our friends was in the queue this morning and allegedly one tout bought over 20 tickets . There should be 2 per person so it's fair!
