Behind the Story: The 'massive scramble' for All-Ireland final tickets
It's All-Ireland Football final week as Kerry and Donegal fans gear up for Croke Park on Sunday. RTÉ's GAA Correspondent Marty Morrissey told Behind the Story where all the tickets go – and why it can be so hard to get them. "It is difficult to get tickets, and I understand the frustration and the anger," he told Fran and David. "There's 82,300 tickets to go into Croke Park – that's the capacity crowd. "The two contesting teams roughly get 20,000 tickets each. "All the teams in the finals, despite it happening year after years, are spoilt when it comes to semi-finals because they can get 40,000 each really. "But when it comes All-Ireland finals, there is a process [where] tickets go to every unit of the GAA nationwide and abroad." Marty says ticket allocations quickly add up and the policy of sending tickets to all counties can frustrate fans from the two teams playing in the final. 10,000 tickets in the stadium are also for the corporate and premium sections. "The GAA that I was brought up in didn't have the corporate boxes; this is the world we live in," he said. "For the GAA to survive – or any organisation – it is about money. "I will say that the GAA do one good thing: everything goes back to the clubs." Marty said he believes every GAA fan should get the chance to experience an All-Ireland final once in their lifetime. "You don't have to be from Donegal or Kerry on Sunday to appreciate the pride that comes with even the parade, even the cheer," he said. "I've been lucky in my lifetime to see Clare win a couple of All-Irelands and to see that saffron and blue running out on to the pitch. "To see your neighbours running on to the pitch is truly historical and emotional." You can watch the All-Ireland Football Championship final on Sunday from 2.15pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
