Connacht v Leinster January 1st 2012

Post by suisse »

Hello boys and girls,

Does anyone here know when tickets for this game will be going on sale? I'm making the long trip home for Christmas and New Year's, so would love to make this fixture. No word on the Connacht or Ticketmaster sites just yet, but I see Munster's game with Connacht on St. Stephen's Day is selling already.

Thanks

It sold out last year! A mate of mine left it late with the tickets and he ended up not being able to make the trip.

Indeed. I made that game last season.

Connacht have added seats behind the goals, has this actually increased the capacity by much, and will it mean tix are easier to come by?

Hopefully the OLSC will be notified when tickets are going on sale and they'll let us know.

Wouldn't expect an allocation for this. Got tickets for the main terrace as well. Is the Clan Terrace reserved for their season ticket holders?

Just got email about the leinster allocation.

Looking at the seating plan, the "clan" terrace is where we all were last year.

If you follow the Leinster sth link, the main terrace is sold out.

Just go to the main page for the event and there's plenty.
