15,000 tickets were made available today for the Rebels’ Fanzone at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh next Sunday.

There was phenomenal interest in the event, and all tickets were allocated within 45 minutes of going online.

Cork GAA and Cork City Council are appealing to those who have secured these free tickets to use them, and ensure the best possible atmosphere at the stadium.

People will be able to cancel their tickets via their Eventmaster account, should they decide not to attend.

Those tickets could then be made available to others closer to the time.

The match will be shown on a massive 9 metre by 5.8 metre LED wall, located at the city end of the stadium.

The family-friendly event will show the clash between Cork and Clare on a big screen, with the Rebels hoping to return Liam McCarthy to Leeside for the first time since 2005.

Tickets were free of charge and available via Cork GAA’s website www.gaacork.ie and Cork City Council’s website www.corkcity.ie.
