Fans hoping to snap up tickets for Sunday’s eagerly-anticipated Ulster SFC final between Derry and Donegal may be disappointed as the game in Clones is heading for a sell-out.
The Ulster Council says it is unlikely that any further tickets will be available on general sale after a small number sold out when they went on sale online and in selected stores last Friday.
The remainder of the tickets will be distributed among the clubs of the participating counties.

Sunday’s senior game between Derry and Donegal will be preceded by the Ulster Minor Football Championship final between the Oak Leafers and Tyrone.
Derry were last in an Ulster SFC final back in 2011 when they lost out to Donegal. Derry boss Rory Gallagher was part of Jim McGuinness’s management team that day while they’ll be bidding to lift the Anglo Celt Cup for the first time since 1998.
Derry shocked All-Ireland champions Tyrone in the quarter-final, winning by 11 points in Omagh, but they backed it up when they took the scalp of another Division One outfit in the semi-final - beating Monaghan 3-12 to 0-17 in the Athletic Grounds.
Donegal defeated Armagh and Cavan on their way to the Ulster final having lost out to Cavan in the 2020 decider when they were the defending champions.
It has also been confirmed that the safe capacity of St Tiernach’s Park has been set at 28,750.
A health and safety review of the famous venue ahead of the 2019 Ulster Final cut the capacity from 34,000 down to 29,000.
