Looks like we'll be sitting together on our own!

This way you avoid the booking fee. everybody gets to sit who want to sit buy and theres no need to collect tickets from the branch during work hours

Why don't we all just book online with Edinburgh for Section 17?

I know! Doesn't make sense to pay extra for seats that could be anywhere in the stadium, if you ask me.

I can't be doing with all this indecisiveness. I'm just going to get two through the branch and trust in them to sit me somewhere nice.

Sure, if it's not sold out I'll just move.

We need a Poll from SS to help us with yet another troubling dilemma!

I've no problems with Áine at all. I just emailed her to ask where the tickets the branch have are for and she replied immediately. Unfortunately they don't know where they are for as they don't actually have the tickets yet.

I booked with the branch as well.

Thats because;

a. You've never actually bought a ticket.
b. You don't actually go to games

I didn't get the email (instead of my usual 3) and judging by the number of people posting on this topic, I don't think too many did.

One way or another, should make fock all difference. Max attendance will be 10,000 of which we will be 2,500. I haven't booked anything yet, if anyone is going for a section, count me in, but I don't see why LM's idea won't be a runner. Just arrive and take up some space.

and anyone who's stuck up in the Upper West, haha.

We did it before, we'll do it again. Not being vengeful, but the branch focked up again. Sent emails to some of the supporters club, for an undesignated and unknown zone in the stadium. IMO it'd serve the branch right if they only sold 500 tickets and 3,000 supporters showed up in the stadium...

Ah right Ted.
Just checked my work mail - no mail from the Branch. Fock them. Let's do what we di the last time and just buy on the day.

Wait and see, no rush, just more incompetencies and failings. If this happens before the Glaws game, the branch will be stormed & ransacked.

No rush? Errrrr, for the HEC away games last season I had the tickets in my paws about a month before the game.

Yeah but this one is Murrayfield, no probs, just an annoyance...... Now Glaws is something we need to get some answers for. Any idea what the allocation is and what KT's cut is?

Our allocation is 16% I think - so a bit over 2000.
Dawson said at the Q&A that us "pondlife" (tm Leinsterman 2006

), sorry, SUPPORTERS would have a majority of tickets. He didn't say "sizeable majority", just "majority".
Now, being the eternal optimist (glass half full etc) - a majority is 50.1% so I wouldn't be surprised if half the tickets are made available to us, then a certain amount to Killester with the rest being held in reserve for the "highest bidder".

Not that I'm cynical about Killester or anything like that.
