IT’S ALL-IRELAND final week, you’re looking for a ticket and about now you’re starting to get a little bit panicky, right?

7. Stand outside Quinn’s or the Big Tree with a ball of cash
Don’t overthink it. You don’t have a friend in the world at this stage. the only thing that’s going to get you through that turnstile at 3pm is pure economics.
What are your tips for getting an All-Ireland ticket this week?
