That’s the only neutral sections on Ticketmaster at the moment. I see there’s also been 4 tickets pop up in the lower tier in the pats end which is a big mad seen as the entire lower tier sold out last weekQuote:

As of today Monday, over 30,000 tickets sold for the cup final which is still approx 4 weeks away.Quote:

Ticket sales have probably slowed now after the early rush by both clubs. I reckon it is well into the mid 30,000 + now.
The extra fans will now come from the casual fans who decide on the day to turn up which could bring it over the 40,000+ figure.
All in all a great attendance will be there. :rolleyes:
Any update been provided on ticket sales?
There seem to be quite a few left on Ticketmaster for the top tier in the Bohs section in particular.
Still likely to be a bumper crowd, and the biggest in modern times, but not sure it'll exceed 40k? Probably all depends on the weather for it on the day now.
Doesn't look like it'll break 35k at this stage. After the initial burst of sales it's gone dead altogether.
Like you said in your post ticket sales have probably slowed now after the early rush by both clubs.Quote:

It’s come a long way lads, imagine a few years back being disappointed that the final didn’t break 40000!!
It's such a good day out. If it doesn't break 40k it won't be long. I'd nearly go myself but.....I wouldn't want to help give bohs or pats the record crowd. Because I'm small and bitter. As it should be.
Pints at a game as well. What a small joy.
I'm going just to annoy myself.Quote:

Annoy yourself less by shaving the soul patch for charity. You can donate it to the fund to keep Pat Hoban.....Quote:

Watching Bohs lose the cup final and miss out on Europe would be a good reason to go but on the other hand watching them win would be a right pain.
I'm small and bitter as well ;).
Its probably unfair of me as all the Bohs fans were cheering us on in Europe :)
In all serioiusness i wont be there this year as im away but regardless of the record attendance or not it will still be a mostly full good advert for the league.
Hopefully its a good game with a few goals
Still two weeks to go however and imagine the clubs and the FAI will continue to market the build-up nicely. Not much else on either with the rugby over and GAA county finals finishing up so expect the sports pages will have a few featuresQuote:

Over 35k gone already according to FAI.Quote:

The tickets with the QR code are available in your Ticketmaster account now. I’d say some are looking to swap sections etc.
You'd still have to be confident it'll break the record at the very least. Once the season wraps up today you'd imagine the cup final will come into sharper focus. Domestic football has gotten a much better coverage in the past couple years and I'm assuming there'll be decent previews of the game in the week leading up to the final. On paper anyway the game sells itself to the neutral.
Hopefully it's a dry day and everyone who's bought tickets actually goes. Should be a cracker.
