Even though Croke Park's capacity will be around 63,000 for Sunday the demand, as always, far outnumbers the supply. But all is not lost and there are some late opportunities to get a ticket.

1, Attend the All-Ireland Sevens: Kilmacud Crokes have three pairs of tickets to raffle on Saturday. They will sell for £5 each, and depending on the attendance, the odds could be substantially better than Ireland getting an Olympian out of the first round.

2, Start shopping on Grafton Street: The window of BT2 is still attracting plenty of attention with the display of two tickets up for grabs in the in-store competition.

3, Get on-line: A number of established auction sites - such as www.ebid.ie - have already become a popular option in the ticket search.

4, Get a job with one of the GAA sponsors: each year they are allocated 230 stand tickets.

5, Hang around outside the Gresham: if all else fails . . .
