The price of tickets on the internet for Sunday’s All-Ireland hurling final replay has not reached the same crazy heights as last weekend’s football final.

So far, the most expensive standard tickets for tomorrow’s game touted on major online marketplaces cost €175, more than three times face value.

Official prices for the replay were reduced from €80 to €50 for stand tickets, while terrace tickets, originally €40, were €25. Juvenile tickets were €10.

Earlier this month, the GAA released a statement saying it would investigate ticket sellers taking advantage of fans.

“Any tickets on touting websites the GAA are made aware of, where the section and seat number can be established, are automatically cancelled,” it read.

“The association deems this a very serious and important matter.”
