Having never done the trip to Limerick, how long is the trip by bus?

Thanks - we've booked refundable hotels so may do the same day option - we'd still have to stay in Dublin over night mind as we'd not get back to the UK that late...so a night in Limerick or Dublin....when you have done the bus trips do they leave directly after the game, or allow beer time then leave?!

In the past (for TP) they get to the ground 60-90 mins before KO and normally leave 30 mins after the final whistle (buses leave from right beside stadium).

seen this over on boards from the Munster branch:
Magners League Grand Final - Tickets
14 May 2011
Munster will play Leinster in the Magners League Grand Final on Saturday 28th May at 5.05pm in Thomond Park.

The Celtic Rugby tournament rules state that both teams participating in the final receive an equal split of 50% of the tickets.


Supporters Club Allocation:
Leinster have not taken their full allocation of tickets for the final. The Supporters Club are now in a position to offer all Full and Associate members of the Supporters Club for 2010/11 with a season ticket the opportunity to purchase one ticket. However it is quite possible that we will receive an additional allocation of tickets by Tuesday and will be in a position to offer additional tickets to all members. We expect that members without season tickets will be able to purchase at this stage. These additional tickets may also include junior tickets and family packs.

As the ticket allocation is not the same allocation as Heineken Cup matches or Magners League matches, unfortunately members cannot be offered the same seats as their season tickets. Choice of tickets are available on a first come first served basis.


Ticket Prices:
Category A Stand - 40 euro
Category B Stand - 30 euro
Terrace - 20 euro

A standard 2.50 euro transaction fee will apply. Tickets will be paper tickets.


Dates:
Tickets are now available to purchase until 10am on Tuesday next 17th May.

Should we receive additional tickets these will be available for members to purchase from 2pm Tuesday 17th to 10am Thursday 19th.

Should tickets remain on Thursday 19th May they will go on public sale.


Somewhat surprised we didn't take the full 50%, €20 for a terrace ticket sounds good though! Hoping this day bus has space for everyone, seems to be good demand this year due to cost cutting. Great service provided by the OLSC

Going to try for East Terrace this time. Was in North Terrace last time out view was grand, but we were vastly outnumbered there. Reckon side-on would be preferable.

Me too, might have something to do with the 'deal' the provinces did to increase the season ticket numbers?

edit: "Great service provided by the OLSC" Absolutely!
