PÁIRC UÍ CHAOIMH is a sell-out for the National Hurling League Division 1 finals on Sunday 6 April.
The Leeside venue will host Cork against Tipperary at 4pm in the Division 1A decider, preceded by Offaly against Waterford at 1.45pm in the Division 1B showdown.
Tickets went on sale on Ticketmaster at 4.30pm yesterday afternoon, with both stands quickly selling out. As of Tuesday morning, no tickets were available on the site.
All tickets for the double-header went on general sale, with no allocations for county boards.
The Cork stadium has a capacity of 45,300, with the sell-out crowd set to surpass the 42,030 that saw Dublin beat Kilkenny in Croke Park in the 2011 final. The curtain-raiser that day was an All Ireland U20 final meeting of Galway and Cavan.
A crowd of 44,257 saw Limerick beat Waterford in the 2019 league final at Croke Park – a double-header with Kerry v Mayo in the football decider.
Croke Park was unavailable for this year’s final as Leinster play Harlequins in their European Champions Cup round of 16 clash at the Drumcondra venue on Saturday 5 April.
I know he’s a good looking guy but creaming him is a bit much
“Do the welfare?, do the welfare?, do the welfare know you’re playing?, doooo the welfare know you’re playing? “. Ian Bermingham captain fantastic omitted to add his dole fraud during 2011, 2012 & 2013 for which he was convicted.
@Michael McLoughlin: Fake news. He wasn’t convicted. He repaid the money in full (€4512) and the judge struck out the case. http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/soccer-star-avoids-conviction-for-claiming-4k-dole-while-working-31554451.html
Very nice piece Aaron. In a greatest Pat’s 11 not many would suggest other challengers to the No 3 jersey worn by Ian Bermingham.
He’s won 4 champions leagues
@James Baxter: 3 with the La Liga club as stated
