TICKETS FOR THE first three rounds of the Munster hurling championship will be distributed through county boards, due to high demand.

There will be no public sale for games such as Tipperary v Cork, Cork v Limerick, Clare v Waterford, Waterford v Tipp or Clare v Limerick – unless county boards return tickets. In that case, they will go on public sale on the Wednesday before each game.

Munster GAA have said this is due to smaller capacities in grounds such as Cusack Park, Ennis and Walsh Park in Waterford, and the demand to see teams such as Cork, Limerick and Tipperary in bigger venues such as Semple Stadium and Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

“This approach reflects the fact that four of the first six games are being hosted in smaller-capacity venues, while the other two games involve Cork, Limerick and Tipperary, with the first round game between Tipperary and Cork being a repeat of last year’s All-Ireland Final,” Munster GAA said in a statement.  

Round 4 and 5 tickets will go on general sale on 8 April.
