County board confirm Cork club ticket allocations for Munster final

Cork County Board have confirmed the allocation system that will be used to determine how many tickets each club will be entitled to for next Saturday week’s Munster SHC final.

With the game against Limerick – which has a 6pm throw-in time – set to be a sell-out, the Munster Council confirmed earlier this week that there would be no public sale of tickets and that instead the competing counties would receive quantities which would then be dispersed among the clubs.

The quantities given to each club will be based on championship gradings. Premier senior and senior A hurling clubs will each receive ten stand and 50 terrace tickets, with premier intermediate, intermediate A and premier junior unit given eight stand and 40 terrace.

For junior A hurling clubs, the allocation will be six stand and 30 terrace, with two stand and 16 terrace for junior B and junior C outfits.

Football affiliations will only receive terrace tickets – 40 each for those playing senior, 30 for intermediate and premier junior, 16 for junior A and eight for junior B and junior C.

For instance, Nemo Rangers – premier senior football and premier junior hurling – will receive eight stand tickets and 80 terrace tickets, while Fr O’Neills, who are premier senior hurling and junior A football, will be entitled to ten stand tickets and 66 terrace.

Clubs will receive links and codes later this week with full details on how to purchase and download tickets. There is a chance that, if the full complement of tickets is not taken up in the first round of sales, more may be come available next week, distributed on a similar basis.

As revealed earlier this week, adult stand tickets are priced at €50 with terrace tickets at €40, representing a €5 increase on last year. The student/OAP prices for the stand and terrace are €5 cheaper than the respective full adult prices, €45 for the stand and €35 for terrace. All juvenile tickets are €10.

One possible way of attending for those left disappointed in the scramble for tickets is the opportunity to act as a voluntary steward at the game.

Limerick County Board is currently asking clubs in the two counties identify potential candidates able to serve at the game.

Stewards must be over 18, with a reporting time of 2.45pm.
