Tickets for the replayed All-Ireland semi-final between Dublin and Mayo are like gold. dust. Yet it has been revealed that there was no limit on the number of tickets being sold to individual punters on Dorset Street yesterday.

The GAA's own ticket office on Dorset Street was inundated with fans trying to get their hands on tickets with hundreds queueing, some for up to four hours.

The Irish Independent reports that there was no limit on the number of tickets that could be purchased, with some individuals buying a dozen or more tickets. After lunch on Monday a limit of eight tickets per customer was introduced.

Yesterday afternoon a number of tickets began to appear for sale online, selling for way above the €30 price.

This morning donedeal.ie announced that they would remove any tickets for the Dublin-Mayo semi-final or both All-Ireland finals being resold on their portal, a move which the GAA welcomed. Adverts.ie followed suit saying they would not allow any tickets to be sold that were above face value.

@allthingsmayo Hi, we have reviewed ads, consulted with the GAA & decided not to allow the resale of All Ireland final & semi final tickets.

Thank you @DoneDeal - tickets for #GAA fixtures seen online or on sale above face value will be cancelled https://t.co/q0X5fOJo55

Just to reiterate, as always with ticket sales, we only ever allow at face value and delete any listed above that. @officialgaa @MayoGAA
