CORK hurling fans who have missed out on tickets to the Rebels' All-Ireland final against Clare this Sunday will be able to soak up the big match atmosphere in Páirc Uí Chaoímh, with tickets for a special fanzone available now.
The family-friendly event will show the clash between Cork and Clare on a big screen, with the Pat Ryan's team hoping to return Liam McCarthy to Leeside for the first time since 2005.
Tickets will be free of charge and available via Cork GAA’s website www.gaacork.ie and Cork City Council’s website www.corkcity.ie. Patrons will be accommodated both on the field, and in the North Stand depending on their ticket.
The Lord Mayor of Cork City, Cllr Dan Boyle said: 'The countdown is truly on to the big day next Sunday. And this year, we will hear the Rebel Roar ring out, not just at Croke Park, but at the home of Cork GAA, SuperValu Pairc Ui Chaoimh where there will be a hugely exciting atmosphere at the first ever Rebels’ Fanzone. Make sure you, your family and friends are there by booking tickets today.'
