The GAA are calling on patrons attending Wednesday's All-Ireland club finals to purchase their tickets in advance.
Kilkenny's Ballyhale Shamrocks and Portumna of Galway face off as regular finalists at this stage of the hurling championship, while the clash of Antrim's St Gall's and Kilmurry-Ibrickane is a little more novel in the football competition.
Either way, after seeing delays at turnstiles in recent years on St Patrick's Day, the GAA want fans to take advantage of the pre-match discounts available until midnight on Tuesday, as well as the wide range of outlets at which tickets are now available.
"We would really urge anyone coming to Croke Park on Wednesday to try and purchase they tickets in advance," GAA press officer Alan Milton said in the Irish Times. "We've put on a number of additional outlets to cater for this in the best way we can, plus there is great value now, with the discounted price still available up until midnight Tuesday. We've also had a strong advertising campaign around this.
"Also, originally the plan was to reduce the discount as the game got closer, but it was decided instead to keep the discount at 40 per cent right up until the night before. We will also be providing a number of additional outlets on the day, but these are the last resort, as it is in everyone's best interest to purchase tickets in advance. We've had some criticism in the past about delays in the getting tickets on the day, but there will be no excuses this time.
"If it's a good day, you're still going to get quite a few people coming up to the ground on the day. But the value and opportunity to purchase tickets in advance is there now."
