Frustration for fans trying to buy tickets for Women's All-Ireland finals

Meath football supporters trying to get their hands on tickets for the Women's All-Ireland Final against Dublin on Sunday 5th September have been left frustrated by the online purchasing system after tickets went on sale this morning.

Fans eager to see the Royals in Croke Park joined the Ticketmaster queue from 9am. Purchasers were shown what number they were in the queue. When they reached the top, many found themselves redirected to back of an even longer queue without any explanation and a longer wait time.

Many took to social media to voice their annoyance.

The LGFA has said the problems being experienced by supporters were beyond their control.

In a statement the LGFA said: "We are aware that many fans attempting to purchase tickets this morning are experiencing issues with the Ticketmaster system.

"The LGFA has no control over ticket sales – and all tickets must be purchased through Ticketmaster, to ensure compliance with Covid regulations.

"We are aware that many fans attempting to purchase tickets this morning are experiencing issues with the Ticketmaster system."
