People will be able to cancel their tickets via their Eventmaster account, should they decide not to attend.

Those tickets could then be made available to others closer to the time.

Tickets for the Rebels’ Fanzone at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh for the All-Ireland Hurling Championship final were made available at midday today, Tuesday July 16.
