If you are trying to get your hands on passes to the Fan Zone Big Screen event at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday for the All Ireland final - do not panic, they are due to go on release very shortly. The early demand for the passes this morning appears to have crashed the official Cork GAA website - which has not been operational for some hours, almost certainly because of the volume of people trying to get on and book their tickets. However, CorkBeo understands that work is being done to get the site up and running again from midday today, which will see the official release of the tickets and fans should be reassured that there will be plenty of room in the stands.
A spokesperson for the organisers told us this morning: "Details will go live on the Cork GAA and Cork City Council sites before lunchtime. It will be simultaneously posted on our social media channels, with a link to the ticket provider. We would please ask that you only seek tickets should you intend to use them.
" The best way to get the tickets will be to check the Cork City Council Website, the official Cork GAA website and the social media for both ( Cork GAA on Twitter and Cork City Council on Twitter ). The match will be shown on a massive 9x5.8 metre LED wall at the city end of the stadium, with music and food concessions to really get in the match atmosphere.
Cork GAA has told anyone hoping to get down to the Fanzone to be aware that: Also - if you are in Cobh over the weekend - you can see the match live.
