How to get All-Ireland Final Hurling tickets and when do they become available
They will not be available for public sale through the usual outlets
Galway have reached their first All-Ireland Hurling final since 2018 beating all odds by defeating favourites Cork.
The Tribesmen are now just one more Croke Park day away from putting the bus seat belt on Liam MacCarthy and bringing him across the Shannon for the sixth time.
It will be Galway’s 26th All-Ireland Hurling Final and seventh this turn of the century.
Now the scramble for tickets begins and whether you’re a diehard travelling the length and breadth of the country with them since January or have just gotten caught up in the Final fever, your chances are more than likely the same.
If you’re a season ticket holder, you can put the feet up and smile as you watch the rush happen all around you.
There are a few things you have to check to make sure you can purchase the final ticket through your season ticket though.
An obvious one but still, your county must reach the Final - so if you have a Mayo season ticket and fancy going to the hurling or helping out a neighbour, that is not possible.
You must have purchased all your 2026 Championship tickets through your online season ticket account and you need to have bought a minimum of five championship matches to qualify - that is the case whether you manage one or more than one season ticket on your account.
If you don’t have a season ticket, your only other hope is to get one through your club.
Each County Board in Ireland receives an allocation of tickets for both the football and hurling finals.
Competing final counties receive the largest and most significant of the allocations and these are filtered down to their clubs and to club members.
It might be worth buddying up with a Mayo neighbour or Louth, Kerry, Dublin friend and promising them the same in return if they can sort you out with a hurling ticket from their club.
Otherwise - best of luck, happy hunting and may the odds be in your favour.
