As always, the Ulster Football Championship is one of the more competitive and popular of the provincial inter-county competitions, and tickets for this year's final between Armagh and Derry are very hard to come by.
The final is scheduled for this Sunday, May 14, to be played at St. Tiernach's Park in Clones, which offers a capacity of 29,000.
However, due to demand, Ulster GAA have only released tickets through GAA clubs, leading to fans lamenting the fact that the game was not moved to Croke Park.
One supporter wrote on Twitter: "Armagh and Derry fans could easily fill Croke park on Sunday.. Brutal hearing about fans who have travelled the length and breadth of the country all year and haven’t been able to get tickets."
Another spoke up for the fans who live outside of Armagh and cannot secure tickets through a club:

Seeing the posts from clubs about the tickets for Ulster final. Again they should have taken the game to Croker. What has clones to offer, traffic tailbacks, paying to park in a field, if raining sitting on seats with no cover, drunk ppl, broken bottles and glass over the street

Every Armagh home game packed and fans queuing from over 2 hours before throw in to get into the game. Always bringing a massive crowd to every away game. Not sure how Ulster GAA decide who gets however many tickets but they should’ve foreseen this. https://t.co/j1c5rwssAV
