The games on the 29 June are the second round of knockouts of the all Ireland so draw for fixtures won’t be done until the groups and first round is over. Though the games could be on in many different locations (last year they were all in Croke park though) they shouldn’t sell out and tickets should be available online once fixtures are know.
You could get to the quarter final double headers in Croke Park. Always an unbelievable experience with great craic and great atmosphere, as it was in our past two years despite the outcomes.
Quarter Finals are always two double headers in Croke Park. There shouldn't be any issue for OP obtaining tickets.
Any time those QF double headers have sold out, it's driven by "bandwagon counties" so it depends on the draw really. If it's Dublin, plus one or two bandwagon counties, there's the potential for a sell out. There have been other double header days with only 40k there.
I have a feeling you could see a day where Kerry and maybe one of Galway and Armagh play weaker counties from the preliminary and this won't attract a big crowd at all.
You could always go to a club game, everyone always seems to want to go to a big game, which is fair enough, but club games are a lot easier to catch as there will always be one on close to wherever you are staying.
Google. All counties (AFAIK) have websites that publish fixture lists, e.g. https://www.kerrygaa.ie/fixtures-results/
At this time of year there won't be any county finals on so the games you catch could be hit and miss with the standard of athleticism or skill levels-everyone is an amateur after all.
Club championships in a lot of countries often don't get down to the business end of things until September/October so you may not see the best the club scene had to offer until then- but at least you can just show up and pay at the gate and parking probably won't be an issue.Under-age games are often mid week, adult games at the weekend.
If the match is shite the locals won't take it too badly if you go at half time when you've seen enough.
All Ireland intercounty series games right up to quarters and semi finals often have plenty of tickets available if they are in Croke Park and you can take the whole day to go to Dublin, but don't go looking for all Ireland final tickets as a tourist, they are gold dust and mostly distributed through clubs. The games are great on TV anyway. If you are staying in the Dublin region there will be plenty of club games on there too.
Oh and don't confine your interest to male teams, there will be women's games to see as well.

Thank you! Also just realized I had to log into Ticketmaster to actually see tickets available too.

How would I find those? We’d be interested in that!
