The GAA have announced that certain tickets for the hotly anticipated All-Ireland Football Semi-Final between Dublin and Tyrone have been cancelled, after it emerged a number of tickets were being sold online above face value.

The tickets which have only been on sale since yesterday were being sold on Ticketmaster's reseller website Seatwave.ie, above and beyond the original face value price.

The GAA revealed on Thursday that some tickets bought had been affected.

The GAA can confirm that it has cancelled a number of tickets for the upcoming GAA Football semi-final meeting of Dublin and Tyrone on August 27.

Requests have also been made directly to platforms selling tickets above face value to remove them from sale and the situation continues to be monitored by the GAA’s ticket office.

Supporters and members are urged not to buy tickets from unofficial sources for above face value as they risk purchasing tickets that may be cancelled.

Demand for tickets were already high and Seatwave.ie were offering individual tickets for as much as £132, or €145 apiece.

Face-value tickets in the Cusack, Davin and Hogan Stands set fans back €45, while standing in the terraces would cost you €30.

It is unfortunate for people who forked out a lot of money for tickets on the website, but it is refreshing to see the Association clamping down on this trend that is not just happening in the GAA. Concert tickets are constantly being sold minutes after they are released for sale on other reseller sites for astronomical sums.
