Munster hurling final sees another ticket price hike
Adult tickets for this year's Munster SHC decider between Limerick and Cork at TUS Gaelic Grounds have been priced at €50 for the stand, and €40 for terrace.
This represents a €5 increase on last year's Munster final between Limerick and Clare at Semple Stadium and is in line with the price hike for Munster round robin fixtures in 2025.
It is the second successive €5 increase for Munster hurling final tickets, the 2023 showdown between Limerick and Clare in the Gaelic Grounds costing €40 for stand and €30 for terrace.
Tickets for U16s will cost €10, while the usual €5 concession applies for OAPs and students.
Munster GAA confirmed on Monday that tickets for the final would not go on general sale and would be distributed through the competing county boards.
This reflects the extremely high demand, with the seven-in-a-row chasing Limerick facing off against the league champions, Cork, who scuppered the former's bid for five-in-a-row at All-Ireland level in 2024.
In Leinster, meanwhile, the provincial council has made 20,000 tickets available free to U14s for the 8 June Croke Park double-header of comprising of the Kilkenny-Galway Leinster final and the Kildare-Laois Joe McDonagh decider.
The scheme, announced on Monday, has seen strong take-up so far, with thousands applying. Eligible groups must consist of a minimum of 10 children (U14 or younger), and must be accompanied by at least two supervising adults per group (1 adult per 10 children).
For adults, tickets will be priced at €40 for stand and €30 for Hill 16.
The last Kilkenny-Galway Leinster final in 2023 attracted just 24,483, while the previous year's decider between the same times saw a crowd of 31,000, with the Joe McDonagh final preceding the game on that occasion.
