[@76ludlow]

It is not unusual for a GAA final match to go to a replay, or even a replay of a replay after a further draw, just to get a result. That has happened! As for the supporters sitting peacefully side by side, it is worth noting that there were two finals games played that day - a minor final followed by this senior final. That means there could have been up to four different counties teams playing, and maybe four sets of supporters sitting side by side in the stands.

[@GerryBolger]

I was at that match, I legitimately cried when the ref called for HawkEye. An old Kilkenny lad wished myself and my Tipperary friends the best of luck. And Bubbles missed it. The atmosphere was beautiful though. Both sets of fans reckoned a draw was fair...

[@davebyrne1980]

Think you may be forgetting... but up to 2010, if the English FA Cup final ended in a draw, it went to a replay, with the last final to go to a replay being in 1993. The GAA are very seeped in tradition, and this rule will probably never be changed. As an association that filters right down to the community and parish level, the GAA invest a lot of money it earns back into the grassroots level, and one of it's biggest incomes come from the All-Ireland Final. 82,000 tickets nets about €7 million for the association, and I think they secretly hope that every final will end in a draw, so they can sell another 82,000 tickets 2 weeks later! Obviously, if the replay ends in a draw, extra time & penalties decide the outcome

Shame tickets for the Hurling final dont go on general sale. :(

[@STHFGDBY]

@@RobReacts1 That's impossible. They are like gold dust. Many fans are season ticket holders and they pay a lot of money for that privilege. But there are rules attached. They must attend so many games throughout the season or they will not receive a renewal. And the GAA do release a fixed amount of tickets for the public, but they are snatched up very quickly. The main battle the GAA have is ticket touts that buy up tickets, especially for match finals, and sell them for anything up to 800 euros for them. But new laws and crackdowns have had a good negative impact on these criminals.

Why not go to a replay? If neither team can win in 70 minutes then where's the reason for giving them a few minutes more?? Better to give them another 70 minutes to test their skills against each other. Also it's another chance for 80,000 people to have a great day out. I smiled when you commented on the fans mixing!! It's a small country and both those counties are neighbours so a lot of the opposing fans would be related and it wouldn't be unusual for them to be from the same family.
