I'm sure there are many people on this forum who do not live in Monaghan or Ireland and who travel at great expense to see the county team whenever possible, and not just for the good days. Many of them are likely members of GAA clubs abroad who will not have access to tickets.
Why should they be excluded?

No one is asking for them to be excluded, If your a paid up member of a club in the county you get first access to the tickets, If there is any tickets left over from the Monaghan or Armagh club allocation they will then go on general sale.

Same with concerts, taylor swift, coldplay etc, signed up presale and artist fans get first crack then general sale, simple as.

Will there be any available for general sale? Big demand from Armagh.

I believe there only will be general sale if clubs don't use all allocated tickets. Highly unlikely in my opinion.

Every club in both Monaghan and Armagh will have requests in for more than they will get.

what a game Saturday evening.. still not over it.. incredible. That will live long in the memory.
Bobby McCaul has to start next time if fit for full 70 mins as we his physical presence and need a blistering start. If we let Armagh go 10 points up, we are goosed.
What's the news on Wylie and Mohan ? aother two lads we could use over the 70 mins.
Counting down the days now to the Ulster Final.. Muineachán Abú!!

Whisper it quietly but I think Derry might actually have a stronger first XV than Armagh. However, if Armagh do get ahead by 8 -10 points in the Ulster Final, which is more than possible, there's no way they will let that slip against a team like Monaghan. The key for Monaghan will be to stay with Armagh for 60 minutes and have something in reserve down the stretch.
Matchups, matchups, matchups- huge work to do for GB and co in the next few days.

Question is do we start with the team that finished? Not much point bringing these boys on if we're 10 points down again. An Ulster title is there for us now and is something we need to go all out for.

Ah yes, Armagh have a great record of holding on to leads.

Having the draw before provincial finals gives the likes of mayo and teams like that a clear advantage as they have a chance to get a good at there opposition in clones croke Park and other provincial grounds and plan ahead like mayo can plan from yesterday to the end of May whereas monaghan has to concentrate on armagh first think the draw should have been made after provincials and give provincial finalists 2 weeks prep
