THE GAA has cancelled some tickets being re-sold online for the All-Ireland semi-final between Tyrone and Dublin.
Tickets for the eagerly-awaited clash, which cost €45 for a seat and €30 standing, sold out within five minutes on Wednesday but were later being advertised for up to €150 each.
Now the GAA has stepped in and cancelled some tickets, meaning buyers will not be able to gain entry when the barcodes are scanned at turnstiles in Croke Park on August 27.
Long-term and premium ticket holders found to have resold their tickets at inflated prices also risk being banned from buying them again.
A Croke Park spokesman warned fans who buy tickets from "unofficial sources" that they could miss out on the game, expected to be an 82,000 sell-out.
"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," he said.
"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."
