Mayo say they are struggling to satisfy ticket orders from their clubs for Sunday week's All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Dublin, the Irish Examiner reports.

A huge number of sales both online and via SuperValu and Centra outlets suggest another sell out at Croke Park on August 30th and Westerners' county board PRO Aiden McLoughlin anticipates that some fans will be disappointed next week when tickets go on sale to the general public.

"So many tickets have been sold online," said McLoughlin. "If there were any left over we were planning to make them available but that won't be the case. We're currently compiling orders from the clubs and the deadline is tomorrow (Wednesday 9pm). Even at that, it's possible that we don't even have enough to meet demand."

Since 2010, all five semi-finals Dublin have been involved in have seen attendances at Croke Park rocket to over 81,000. The Dubs' defeat to Cork in '10 was the largest with 82,225 at HQ, while last year's last four clash with Donegal saw 81,500 in attendance.
