X Factor judge Louis Walsh had to pull in big favours to get two tickets to the All-Ireland Football Final to see the boys from his precious Mayo battle Donegal in the hopes of taking home the coveted Sam Maguire.
It seems even celebrities are having difficulty nabbing the gold-dust tickets and Louis had to trade much-sought after tickets to the X Factor final in order to land two seats in Croker today.

However, Louis won’t be going to the final this afternoon, but will give the tickets to his brother Paraic.
Paraic must have done something right because Louis left his seven other siblings hanging after failing to provide them with an entry ticket to the match.
Louis told The Irish Sun: “All my family are going mental ringing me for tickets. This is the biggest thing for them.
Will Louis’ precious Mayo take home the Sam or will Donegal come out champions?
“I got really good tickets for my brother. I called in a favour but I have to give that person X Factor tickets,” he said.
Louis’ brother will join the thousands of fans who are lucky enough to be packing into the stadium this afternoon.
Will Donegal take home the Sam today?
Will Louis be happy with Mayo this evening or will Donegal lift the Sam for the first time since 1992?
