The GAA have confirmed that Sunday's GAA All-Ireland SHC final between old rivals Kilkenny and Tipperary at Croke Park is an 82,000 sell-out.

Speaking in today's Irish Examiner, GAA Ticketing Manager Ronan Murphy revealed: ' Sunday's All-Ireland final is a sell-out. In fact both Tipperary and Kilkenny have been back to us looking for more tickets. There is an ancient rivalry between Tipperary and Kilkenny and the fact that Kilkenny are going for the four in a row also adds to the interest.'

Murphy also said that interest has come from all over the country as fans request tickets for what is expected to be a memorable game, with the Cats poised for four in a row and Tipp looking for their first Liam MacCarthy since 2001.

He added: ' Throughout the country the demand for tickets has been very strong.'

Murphy went on to reveal that this year's two football semi-finals were better attended than last year's equivalent, which spread over three games because of the Kerry v Cork replay.

He enthused: 'We had more people attending the two semi-finals than we had at the three equivalent games last year. Our ticket packages this year have been hugely successful and overall we are delighted with how tickets and attendances have gone in both Hurling and Football Championships.'
