Ticket sales for Sunday's Allianz Football League Division 1 and 2 finals and the LAOCHRA show at Croke Park have already passed the 50,000 mark.
The GAA's Head of Communcations Alan Milton tweeted the news this afternoon. The figure is well above last year's attendance of almost 31,000 and is on course to surpass the 59,703 that watched the 1993 final replay between Dublin and Donegal. The biggest crowd for the league's showpiece game in recent years was 46,445 for the Armagh-Wexford final in 2005.
When Corporate and Premiem Level ticket holders are taken into account, a near-capacity crowd is expected at GAA headquarters for the finals and for the GAA's official role in the 1916 Rising Commemoration.
