GAA fans in Roscommon and Offaly have been left frustrated after major delays were reported in efforts to secure tickets for this weekend’s All-Ireland u20 final.
Fans from both counties have been stuck in hours-long queues on the Ticketmaster website in efforts to secure entry to Croke Park.
All tickets went on general sale on Tuesday morning, but fans have been expressing their outrage as the website kept crashing or fans were left without access just as they tried to checkout with their purchases.

I was 6000 in the queue but I opened a new tab, logged into ticketmaster and I was able to get 4 tickets in about a minute. Keep trying and good luck! #offaly #roscommon #GAA
