How many tickets do All-Ireland finalists really get for friends and family?

It's All-Ireland final week and for some Kerry and Dublin players there is pressure beyond what will happen on the pitch.

Ever wondered how many free tickets each player will get to give to their friends and family members? Well, Off The Ball's Colm 'Wooly' Parkinson has been finding out as he verbalised on tonight's newsround.

"I was just interested how many tickets do players involved get because there is a lot of pressure coming up the week of All-Irelands with people pestering you and annoying you about tickets and it's stuff that you don't need to be hearing in the week of an All-Ireland.

"Dublin and Kerry footballers get eight free tickets and they have an option to buy twelve, so they're kind of getting 20. Now, the difficult part of the option to buy 12 is you buy the 12 but the relations that usually get them are thinking 'okay, will I get one of the eight free ones?' So there's a weird awkward standoff between relations and players."
