There was widespread commentary from supporters nationwide that the GAA having to put tickets to Sunday's hurling final on general sale is an indictment of the cost of living crisis Ireland is engulfed in.
While we're so used to All-Ireland tickets being labelled 'gold dust' in the run-up, it appears that doesn't apply to this weekend's showdown between champions Limerick and Kilkenny.
The cheapest tickets going are in the Nally Stand for €50 but that's only the beginning of the expenses that tot up for fans who come up to Dublin for the big occasion.
