The GAA has reduced ticket prices for the Dublin v Kerry All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final replay by a third.

Stand tickets for the Saturday September 14 head-to-head are now priced at €60 and terrace tickets at €30.

Discounted children’s tickets, costing €10, will also be made available to the competing counties.

''It is not expected that there will be a general sale of tickets, with all tickets being distributed through county boards,'' a Cumann Lúthchleas Gael statement said.

Meanwhile, Cork official Conor Lane will take charge of Dublin v Kerry All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final replay on Saturday September 14.

It will be the third Senior final for the Banteer/Lyre clubman.

He was the man in the middle for the 2016 final between Dublin and Mayo and the 2018 final meeting of Dublin and Tyrone.

Lane has also refereed the All-Ireland Minor final in 2013, the Connacht final in 2013 and 2016, the 2019 Ulster Final and the AIB Senior Club final in 2016.

In this year’s Senior Football Championship, Lane refereed the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final between Dublin and Mayo, the quarter-final between Meath and Donegal.

He also refereed the Ulster Championship meetings of Donegal and Cavan and Cavan and Monaghan, the Connacht Championship clash of New York and Mayo, and in the Leinster Championship, the meeting of Dublin and Kildare.

His umpires on final replay day will be Kevin Roache, DJ O'Sullivan (both Banteer/Lyre), Ray Hegarty (Bride Rovers) and Pat Kelly (Kilshannig).

Laois’ Maurice Deegan will be the standby referee.

The other linesman is David Coldrick (Meath) and the sideline official will be Niall Cullen (Fermanagh).
