Tickets for the All-Ireland senior hurling championship semi-final between Cork and Dublin have been snapped up after going on sale this afternoon on Ticketmaster.

Tickets went on sale at 12pm but just after 2pm there was no ticket availability left on the website.

This will be the eighth game in a row that the Cork hurlers have sold out, dating back to the thrilling semi-final win over Limerick last year. 

Dublin stunned Limerick at the weekend following a thriller in Croke Park and playing with 14 for the majority of the game following a red card to captain Chris Crummey to set up a mouthwatering semi-final clash.

All-Ireland senior semi-final ticket prices have increased for the second year in a row.

Stand tickets, starting with Saturday and Sunday week’s hurling last four games, are priced at €60, €5 more than last year’s figure.

The same €5 increase applies to discounted student and old age pensioner stand tickets, which are now €55 in the Cusack and Davin Stands.

Admission to Hill 16 remains €40 as was the case last year. Entry for a juvenile (U16s) for the Cusack and Davin Stands is €10.

Last year, admission rose by €5 for adult stand and terrace tickets as well as concessions having been €50, €45 and €35 respectively in 2023. In two years, a stand ticket for an All-Ireland semi-final has jumped by nearly 17%.

The news for Cork, Dublin, Kilkenny and Tipperary supporters comes after Tipperary and Galway fans were charged €40 for their standalone All-Ireland SHC quarter-final in Limerick on Saturday, the same price as last year’s double-header.

In May last year, the GAA confirmed it was increasing price points for the All-Ireland quarter-final and semi-finals by €5, as well as raising a stand ticket price for an All-Ireland final to €100 and terrace to €55.

For the second year in a row, the Munster Council last month increased ticket prices for June 7’s Munster SHC final and stand admission cost €50, having been €40 in 2023. That was in line with their decision to raise the admission prices for round robin games for the second successive season, with a stand ticket now priced at €40, up €10 from two years ago following the two bumps.

Tickets for this forthcoming weekend’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final double-headers, which were last year priced at €45 for a regular stand ticket and €35 for Hill 16, will go on sale early this week.
