My family is taking a trip to Ireland this summer to celebrate a college and HS graduation (results pending). We will be on Dublin on July 23. The All Ireland Hurling championship will be held that day in Dublin at Croke Park, which apparently is the third largest capacity stadium in Europe (82,300).
I think I’ve overcome the initial hurdle of convincing the family to be interested in attending.
The next: Getting tickets. My initial internet searching seems like they might eventually go on sale to public, but also that it’s possible the individual county clubs throughout Ireland may get first dibs in such tickets.
Has anyone here been to this event, or have any thoughts or ideas on attending the event, or hurling in general? I know a little about the sport - it looks like it could be a uniquely fun experience to attend this event.
Thanks for any thoughts and responses.
