Tipperary travel to Glenisk O'Connor Park, Tullamore to take on the beaten Joe McDonagh cup finalists Offaly this Saturday afternoon in the All-Ireland hurling championship Preliminary Quarter-Final.
Tickets are currently on sale for the game with Offaly going in to the tie as rank outsiders with the bookies after a disappointing Joe McDonagh cup final result for the midlanders against Carlow.
Offaly stock however is generally on the rise following their good run in the recent Under 20 championship, where they claimed the Leinster title, but Cork eventually ran out winners of the All-Ireland series.
This Saturday's game gets underway at 4pm and tickets are available on Ticketmaster with adult tickets selling for €25.00 each. Juveniles must be accompanied by an adult and tickets are priced at €5.00 each.
There are also discounted tickets for old age pensioners and students which are on sale for €20.00 each.
As well as on the Ticketmaster website, Tipperary supporters can also purchase tickets through their local club. For those that can't attend the game can be viewed on the GAAGO online platform.
The winner on Saturday will go on to play Galway in the All Ireland senior hurling Quarter-final on June 24th.
A large Offaly following is expected with the game on in Tullamore, and supporters making long journeys are advised to travel early.
