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.
