However, many will be disappointed as tickets for the homecoming event were snapped up within minutes being made available.
While Cork GAA came in for criticism for charging €4 into their homecoming at Páirc Uí Chaoimh following their defeat to Clare in last Sunday’s epic hurling final, tickets to Armagh’s homecoming were free but restricted to six per person.
Fans who have missed out on tickets can add their name to a waiting list in case some become available.
There will be live entertainment from More Power to your Elbow and turnstiles will open at 3.30pm with the team expected to arrive at 5pm.
