GAA: Dublin Versus Derry Sells Out

The GAA has confirmed that all tickets on general sale for the Bank of Ireland senior football championship quarter-final between Dublin and Derry on August 11 have sold out.

The tickets went on sale on Tuesday morning.

All other tickets for the event are to be distributed through County Boards in the participating counties.

The GAA said that further sale of tickets for the game is not likely, as returns are unlikely due to the "huge demand" to see the last eight encounter.
