I'd say the drama of the weekend will give it a boost now, for next weekend you imagine sell outs for Galway V Mayo and Donegal v Tyrone while Kildare and Cork supporters will be heartened by the weekend. Armagh and Derry will be bring a massive crowd to the quarter final I'd say.

For neutral venues they are ok I suppose except Armagh v Galway. Doesn't Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada hold 9,300? Unbelievable that Armagh and Galway could only 2/3 fill that! Would have looked ridiculous if the game had moved it to Croke Park as requested, good call by the GAA there.

In the hurling pre quarterfinals the attendances were good.
I think around 10000 in O Connor Park. With Tipp bringing a big crowd
And around 7000 in Netwatch Cullen Park but with a very small Dublin support.

Anyone know the attendances at Kerry/Louth or the Breffni double header?

A little over 5 thousand at Carlow v Dublin. Definitely not 7 thousand.

I'd guess there was around 10,000 in Cavan. Almost all Dublin and Tyrone but very few Tyrone in for first game and most Dubs left early as the rain and thunder began so always looked much less. .

No official figure for Carlow game probably somewhere between 5 - 7 k
It felt around the 7 as I said
My point of post was more the paltry Dublin crowd.

Galway v Mayo was a sell out but the official attendance was reported at 23,897. Pearse stadium has a capacity of 26,197. There's a discrepancy as there room for an extra 2,000 supporters. Can anyone explain this anomaly?

tickets sold and people not turning up?
but they counted tickets sold instead of people in through the gate. often happens in many sports.

Possibly because someone decided it was a good idea to make the stand tickets general admission instead of allocating everyone a seat and the terrace tickets covered all of the terraces instead of allocating everyone to a specific area. Both of which mean the capacity has to be further reduced for safety reasons. Couple of thousand people denied the chance to attend and €50k lost, all because of poor ticketing policy.

Capacity in Connacht venues is reduced when matches are unreserved seating. Connacht championship matches are reserved seating so 26k plus would be allowed to attend matches in Salthill.

1st time since the 1999 Connacht final Galway outnumbered Mayo in a championship match. Not quite 2 to 1 but I would say we had close to 60% of the crowd.
