Rebel fever grips the city

With the city and county painted red and pre-All Ireland excitement at fever levels, Cork City Council and Cork GAA are appealing to fans to use their ‘Rebels’ Fanzone’ tickets or pass on any they’re unlikely to use.

Over 15,000 tickets were snapped up earlier this week in an astounding 45 minutes for Sunday’s family friendly viewing event at Super Valu Pairc Uí Chaoimh.

An electric atmosphere is promised as the ‘Rebels Fanzone’ has quickly become THE place for fans to savour the Cork v. Clare All Ireland final beyond Croke Park itself.

Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr Dan Boyle said: “ We are appealing to those who secured tickets to use them so we have the best possible atmosphere at the stadium. If you, your family or friends can't attend, people can cancel one or multiple tickets via their Eventmaster link. Every returned tickets gives an opportunity to another Cork fan to cheer on the team!”.

Those attending please note:

• Doors open at 2pm  and only valid ticket holders will be admitted
• TV coverage will be shown from 2:15pm
• All u16s need to be accompanied by an adult
• There is to be no consumption of alcoholic beverages at the Fanzone event
• Patrons are to obey stewards and Gardai at all times
• Pedestrian access to the stadium is via Centre Park Road 
• Use public transport and city centre car parks 
• No parking is provided in the vicinity of the stadium
• Please respect our neighbours around the stadium and do not park illegally
• Dress for the weather, no umbrellas or hurleys allowed in the Fanzone

The match will be shown on a massive 9 metre by 5.8 metre LED wall, located at the city end of the stadium.
