Dublin supporters can expect a ticket frenzy for their Leinster SFC semi-final against either Westmeath or Wicklow on June 28 due to the fact that the game will share the same billing as the other provincial semi-final. While tickets may have been easily accessible for yesterday's quarter-final against Meath, Dublin fans are likely to find tickets much harder to come by for their next Croke Park outing if, as expected, Kildare are involved in the other last-four clash. Kieran McGeeney's charges face Wexford in the quarter-final next Saturday and, if recent form is anything to go by, they should advance to face either Laois or Louth in the June 28 curtain-raiser. Support for the Lilywhites has dwindled in recent years, but with confidence and expectations rising all the time, they could be looking for up to 20,000 tickets if they are involved in the semi-final. Westmeath and Laois have both experienced a dip in form of late, but they too would be looking for a large allocation of tickets - possibly in the region of 15,000 each - if they should account for Wicklow and Louth respectively next weekend. This could spell bad news for Dublin's massed ranks, who went close to selling out Croke Park yesterday with an attendance of 75,250 turning up for the football and hurling double-header. Tweet
