All-Ireland semi-final ticket prices to increase again this year
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 the All-Ireland senior hurling semi-finals will go on general sale on Monday at 12pm (Cork-Dublin, July 5) and 2pm (Kilkenny-Tipperary, July 6) respectively. 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.

Tomás Ó Sé: Kerry's support cast need to step up for 'defining' clash with Armagh
While the full draw for the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals is yet to take place, there's every chance the meeting of Kerry and Armagh next weekend will be top billing. The draw will take place live on Monday morning on RTÉ Radio 1 with the four preliminary quarter-final winners – Dublin, Kerry, Galway and Donegal – up against the winners of the four round-robin groups, Armagh, Monaghan, Tyrone and Meath. As Armagh have three possible repeat pairings, they are automatically matched with the Kingdom, a repeat of last year's All-Ireland semi-final where Kieran McGeeney's men emerged victorious en route to Sam Maguire glory. The Orchard County failed to add provincial silverware earlier this summer, but have at times looked in top form in the championship. Kerry, by contrast, laboured to victory over Cork and fell to a heavy defeat to Meath in the All-Ireland series before putting Cavan to the sword in their preliminary quarter-final as manager Jack O'Connor continues to battle an injury list, with Diarmuid O'Connor forced off and Mike Breen ruled out before throw-in. Speaking on The Sunday Game, former Kerry player and five-time All-Ireland winner Tomás Ó Sé says the win over Cavan was a "marked improvement" from a Kingdom perspective, led by the 3-07 haul of talisman David Clifford. Tomás Ó Sé expects the Armagh quarter-final to be Kerry's defining game of the championship, and they will have no fear, while adding that he could make an argument for six of the eight teams to win the All-Ireland. #TheSundayGame — The Sunday Game (@TheSundayGame) June 22, 2025 "David Clifford has been absolutely outstanding all season long and he gave a performance yesterday that was brilliant," he said. "The first ball he got, he made a statement. He got the ball in the corner, took on his man and buried the ball to the back of the net." Looking ahead to next weekend's quarter-final, Ó Sé believes the game will offer a true litmus test for O'Connor's side. "It's the defining game of the season," he said. "They won't fear it. Kerry are more than capable of showing up on the day, but they will have to offer more in scoring than David Clifford. "Kerry will need a full team back. Diarmuid O'Connor is a huge loss in the middle of the park and Paul Geaney is possibly gone as well, their second highest scorer. "Everybody is saying that Armagh, even though they didn't win Ulster, have been the team of the season so far. "It's going to be a cracker of a game."

Shane Walsh 'nasty' shoulder injury, as Kerry, Armagh quarterfinal confirmed
Pádraic Joyce says Shane Walsh sustained a 'nasty looking' shoulder injury in today's Pairc Esler victory over Down, which sent Galway into next weekend's All-Ireland quarter-finals. With all four favourites winning their preliminary quarter-finals over the weekend, it means that Kerry and Armagh will go head to head in a repeat of last year's semi-final epic, which Armagh won on their way to the All-Ireland. That's because Armagh can't play any of the other preliminary round winners - Donegal, Galway and Dublin - as they've met them already in the provincial final or All-Ireland group stages. The draw takes place this morning, ive on RTE Radio, with Joyce's men set to play Monaghan, Meath or Tyrone. Whoever it is, Joyce will be hoping for an extra day's rest after yesterday's 2-26 to 3-21 victory in Newry. Two quarter-finals are set for next Saturday and two for Sunday - and with Galway having gone to Cavan and Newry over the past two weekends, and heading for Croke Park next weekend, it's a hectic schedule. Speaking about Walsh, Joyce said: 'He got a nasty injury. He fell forward and the Down player followed through with the knee on the shoulder so he's a bit of a bother there. 'We left him on for 10 minutes just to see how he got on but he's getting no better so we'll assess him here. We'll go back and see what it is. It looks a nasty injury. 'He was quite sharp after 15 minutes when he got into the game and got the shackles off a bit. He kicked a couple of great twos, kicked the free and kicked the goal.' On next weekend's scheduling, Joyce said: 'I'm not going to ask for anything but you'd be hoping you'd get a break somewhere. 'It would be brilliant if we got a Sunday fixture but again it's not my decision. Whatever's on, we'll show up and play it. 'It's massive. It's huge. But look, we put ourselves in that situation so we're not going to be complaining. We'll get on with it.' The weekend results mean the folllowing for the eight sides. Listed are the counties and who they can play next weekend with the draw due to take place on Monday morning on RTE radio. Kerry: Armagh Armagh: Kerry Dublin: Tyrone, Monaghan or Meath Galway: Tyrone, Monaghan or Meath Tyrone: Dublin or Galway Monaghan: Dublin, Galway or Donegal Donegal: Meath or Monaghan Meath: Dublin, Galway or Donegal.
