The GAA expects to have a further allocation of tickets available for general sale ahead of Saturday's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final double header, with a full house anticipated at Croke Park for the first time in this year's championship.
Ulster rivals Armagh and Tyrone (4pm) renew acquaintances at headquarters, followed by the clash of reigning champions Dublin and Monaghan two hours later.
Tickets went on general sale yesterday morning and were quickly sold out, with the remaining allocation distributed through the clubs of the counties involved.

Speaking on RTÉ 2FM's Game On this evening, the GAA's director of communications Alan Milton provided an update on the ticket situation, telling listeners: "We’re expecting to be in a position tomorrow to put more tickets on public sale for Saturday.
"There were always extra tickets for sale on Sunday and Monday, but Saturday was the crunch one, given the profiles of the four counties involved.
"Keep an eye on GAA.ie, that’s where they’ll go and there’ll be an allocation expected to go to SuperValu and Centra stores as well.
"There’ll be a finite amount – we don’t know what we’re getting back from the counties yet, but we know we’ll have something, so keep an eye out tomorrow is the message."
The double-header will be witnessed by 82,000 supporters, more than 15,000 more than the most attended championship game to date this year, which was Dublin’s Leinster final victory over Kildare.
Last year, the Dubs also attracted a full house for their quarter-final win over Donegal, a double-header on the same day Mayo edged past Tyrone.
It is a busy weekend at Croke Park, with the All-Ireland hurling semi-final between Galway and Tipperary taking place on Sunday (4pm), preceded by Galway’s minor hurlers taking on their Kilkenny counterparts.
The action gets underway at midday when Dublin and Cork contest the Under-17 hurling final.
On Monday, the footballers of Mayo and Roscommon (throw-in 2pm) return to Jones’ Road for their All-Ireland quarter-final replay.
