Over 70,000 hurling fans are expected to flock to Thurles over the next two days.
An attendance of between 30 and 35,000 is predicted for tomorrow evening's All-Ireland SHC qualifier double-header involving Tipperary and Dublin, and Waterford and Kilkenny, while a capacity crowd of 49,000 is expected for Sunday's Munster SHC final between Cork and Clare.
With Coldplay performing before a sell-out crowd in Croke Park tomorrow, it promises to be a lucrative weekend for the GAA.
