With Cork hurling fans dreaming of Liam MacCarthy’s return to Leeside, Cork City Council and Cork GAA have confirmed that the Rebels’ Fanzone will return to SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday, July 20, to coincide with the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final.
The family-friendly, ticketed event will offer fans the chance to watch the final between Cork and Tipperary live on big screens, with pre- and post-match entertainment creating a full day of celebration and support.
“Cork has been turned into a sea of red and white in recent weeks,” said Brian Geaney, Deputy Chief Executive of Cork City Council. “There’s huge excitement building across Cork and we’re hoping for an electric atmosphere at this free, family-friendly event at the home of Cork GAA.”
With demand for match tickets at Croke Park far exceeding supply, the Rebels’ Fanzone offers an alternative for those unable to travel to Dublin.
“Once again, demand for final tickets for the All-Ireland final is unprecedented,” added Pat Horgan, Chairperson of Cork GAA. “With the support of Cork City Council, we are delighted to bring back the Rebels’ Fanzone, which will allow supporters of all ages an opportunity to come together and support an incredible team from right across the county.”
The Fanzone will be an alcohol-free event, and under-16s must be accompanied by an adult. Admission will be free, but all attendees must have a ticket. Tickets will be released at 7.30am on Thursday, July 17 via www.gaacork.ie, www.corkcity.ie, and Eventmaster.ie, with a maximum of five tickets available per person.
Organisers are asking fans to only apply for tickets they are confident of using, with a ticket transfer and cancellation window available until midnight on Saturday, July 19.
