The GAA are experiencing unprecedented demand for tickets for the forthcoming All-Ireland senior football and hurling quarter-finals.

The public sale of 17,000 tickets for Saturday’s Cork-Galway and Clare-Wexford hurling games in FBD Semple Stadium has sold out with little or no tickets from the four counties’ allocations expected to be returned. The Thurles venue has a capacity of slightly below 46,000.
