Munster GAA have confirmed that tickets for the Munster Senior Hurling Championship final between Cork and Clare are now available online.
The two counties met in last year's decider in front of a crowd of 45,558 at the same venue and there had been concern amongst Cork fans that they could not find tickets this time round. Earlier this week Cork clubs criticised the number of tickets that were available through private sales rather than clubs. The full capacity for Semple Stadium is 45,600.

A spokesperson for Munster GAA told the Evening Echo there is huge demand for the game:
There are 75,000 registered members in both counties combined. There are also thousands of people who support the games, but would not be members of clubs. Therefore, there simply isn’t supply of tickets to meet the demand.
As of tonight, Tickets.ie, Centra/Supervalue outlets have a limited amount of Cork Clare tickets for sale. Currently, online consumers can purchase tickets for the Ardan o Coinneain (old stand) and the terrace.
Clare have not won a Munster title since 1998 and only lost one game in the round robin Munster Championship, against Cork on the opening weekend.
You can buy tickets here.
