The GAA has announced that over 50,000 tickets have already been sold for Sunday’s Allianz Football League Finals at Croke Park.
As such this will comfortably smash the record attendance at a League final and that is a real boost for sponsors Allianz as they start into a renewed five year deal attaching their brand to the season’s first major tournament.
Sunday’s numbers will have been boosted by the fact of it being a repeat of last year’s All Ireland Final between Dublin and Kerry and also by the fact of it being the actual 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising.
The Stadium is putting on what it promises to be a stunning celebration of Ireland’s history before and since that fateful moment in the ‘birth of the nation.’
“This is a very special day for Cumann Lúthchleas Gael and we would urge all of our members and indeed supporters to join us at Croke Park for what should be a day to remember on the anniversary of the Rising 100 years to the day of this seismic event in Irish history,” said GAA President Aogán Ó Fearghail
“It is an opportunity for the wider membership of the Association to come together to acknowledge what is a day of national significance and we are pleased to host such an event at Croke Park.”
