The following is a statement issued by Munster GAA on problems encountered earlier today on purchasing tickets online and through retail outlets.

The problems encountered earlier today purchasing tickets for the Munster hurling final online and through Centra and Supervalu outlets occurred due to a technical issue with the GAA's ticketing partner, tickets.ie. Tickets.ie have made the following statement on the matter:

"Tickets.ie regrets and apologises for any inconvenience caused to Munster GAA customers who were delayed in purchasing tickets for the Munster GAA Hurling Final either online or from designated retail outlets this morning.

We encountered a technical problem that took some time to resolve. Once the work was completed all tickets available to us to sell were placed on sale. The tickets available to Tickets.ie for the Munster GAA Hurling Final have since sold out.

Tickets remain available for all other GAA fixtures this weekend from tickets.ie and retail outlets."

Munster GAA also regrets very much the inconvenience to patrons as a result of these problems and would like to apologise to all who experienced difficulties purchasing tickets. Tweet
