Dan Bourke of Offaly lifts the Leinster trophy
The All-Ireland U-20 hurling final between Offaly and Tipperary has been declared a sell-out.
Interest in this year’s competition has soared, especially as Offaly’s young guns blazed a winning trail through Leinster, and tonight’s news is further confirmation of the sky-high ticket demand.
A statement posted by Offaly GAA on its social media platforms confirmed the news.
The statement reads: “Due to the unprecedented demand for tickets for the under-20 All-Ireland match, we wish to inform you that all tickets are sold out.
“The high demand put immense pressure on the ticketing system, causing issues for supporters. This situation was beyond our control,” the Offaly county board stresses.
“Nowlan Park was selected as the match venue several months ago. This Kilkenny City venue is hosting this year’s All-Ireland under-20 hurling final to commemorate the 100th anniversary of James Nowlan's death. Kilkenny’s home ground and the under-20 cup have both been named in his honour since 2016, making this centenary year particularly significant.”
The statement concludes: “We hope that additional tickets may become available in the coming days. We will keep supporters updated on any new developments. We sincerely thank all the Faithful for their huge support.”
