A sell-out crowd is expected for the Dublin-Donegal All-Ireland SFC semi-final on August 31.

Croke Park's 82,300 capacity is set to be tested after it was revealed that the GAA had already sold 15,000 advance tickets by yesterday for the eagerly-awaited meeting of the last two All-Ireland champions.

"I think it will be as close to a sell-out as you'd get," Dublin chairman Andy Kettle said in The Herald.

"Donegal will bring a big crowd, no doubt in the world about that. There will be a fair deal of interest from neutrals - and a good Dublin crowd, with two teams on the day, the minors as well."

Last Saturday's attendance of over 72,000 for the Dublin v Monaghan and Donegal v Armagh All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals was the biggest Croker has seen so far this year. Tweet
