A PACKED TO CAPACITY SEMPLE STADIUM is set to host this year’s Munster senior hurling final.
An allocation of 11,000 terrace tickets sold out in the space of eleven minutes on Thursday morning following their distribution online and in participating Centra and SuperValu outlets.
In a statement on Thursday morning, Munster GAA outlined, “All remaining tickets are with the participating county boards (Clare and Limerick) and Season Ticket holders. It is not expected that any tickets will be returned from the County Boards and in that event, the Munster Hurling Final will be a sell-out event on Sunday week June 5th at FBD Semple Stadium”.
Semple Stadium’s capacity for the final will be 45,775 having been reduced in recent years due to health and safety regulations. The meeting of Tipperary and Cork in 2006 was the last time the attendance surpassed 50,000 at the venue for a provincial final.
