There's usually an allocation made available to the visiting club. They have a limited time to sell them, after which they have to be returned to the home team. Keep an eye on the Leinster website, as it's often announced there.

ST holders get emailed for away HC games with our allocation, the supporters club are pretty good at posting updates too.

My OH is the assigned e-mail address, and he tends to delete lots without reading them. Must make sure he doesn't do that this time around!

Has anyone else gone for the Friday evening Aer Lingus flight into Cardiff? There are a couple of us heading over on that and trying to decide whether to stay in Cardiff that night and head up to Llanelli by train on Saturday or get a taxi that night from the airport and stay in Llanelli.

Any suggestions on cheapest/easiest/most enjoyable would be welcomed!

By Taxi to Llanelli is around 1.3 hours: http://www.airporttaxis-uk.co.uk/Cardiff/index.htm - Standard return taxi fare is £130 (single £65). Cardiff Airport is a small airport. Quotes on request and pre-booking is recommended.

I have hired a car for the whole weekend for less than the price of that 1 way taxi. OK I'll have to put juice in it but.......

Even if I just drive it from Bristol to Clanethly and park it, it is a bargain. Probably use it to fart about Wales on the Sunday on the way back.

Hm, taxis definitely not looking like the way to go on that basis then.

Head up by Train on Saturday. Plenty to choose from. (There's one about 09:50 which is direct to Llanelli). Plus you might get a cheap Hotel deal in Cardiff.

Everyone going for the terrace?

I always wonder if it's best to have everyone together, or to have a couple of pockets of Leinster fans around the ground?

Depends if you want to stand or be seated!

Would assume most will be standing (so terrace).

At our last H Cup game there the ground was half empty think you should be able to pick your spot.
Just got my North terrace ticket, really straight forward. :happy clapper:

Based on last time there were tickets on sale on the day.... Whether or not the north terrace sells out before then (we we are) who knows.

3 stand tickets purchased. Didn't seem to let you select any particular stand.To be allocated later. Anybody else get that or did I mess up?

I think the allocation Leinster have got is for one particular stand so there was no other choice as such (even for those looking for seats as opposed to terrace)

What's also puzzling is that in the e-mail which I just received confirming purchase of the tickets,they state the k.o. time as 15.35 - I assume this is an error - everywhere else it is given as a 13.35 (doubtless to fit in with SKY t.v. schedules) ?

Misprint I hope. Otherwise I and a lot of others are rightly f#cked as have to catch 19.55 flight from Bristol.
