QF tickets

Post by kpb »

Sorry if already spoken about on here, it has been a long time since my last visit.

I have my tickets for the QF but have noticed online their is still thousands available!?

I was shocked to see so many remaining tickets for such a big game! Any ideas of why or even how this is possible?

It'll be hugely disappointing if we don't get close to a sell-out for this one. Biggest game at the club for what, five seasons now? More?

I was actually shocked to see many available!

Would be embarrassing to see such a empty stadium

Don’t forget not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to a) afford a season ticket or b) afford a one-off ticket. In the grand scheme of things, food, energy bills etc are taking up a lot of people’s budget at the moment. Sorry for putting a dampener on it, but there you go.

to be honest the kick off time will put some people off. Don't know how may Leinster supporters will travel

This I think. Not included in the season tickets don’t know ticket prices off the top of my head but I would imagine for a couple minimum £50 before an spending on the day.
Disappointed if we don’t get 18000 not many more maybe

£67 for my 86 year old Dad and myself on the Terrace, purchased on general sale, so with a couple of beers each and travel - close to £100.

I had to think about it first, but it ended up being £100 for a family of four in our normal ST seats. Having the semi-final the week after isn't ideal either; that's two significant outlays in two weeks for some people.

As for the play-offs...

As you both say, I think a bit of realism and context will be needed around all attendances not included in the season ticket . They could appear to be really disappointing.

With increase in the cost of living, energy, fuel, some peoples priorities will not include rugby or being selective on which matches to attend.

Don't forget the price from Leinster could be prohibitive. Late after noon kick off' plane fare plus most probable hotel accommodation etc. drinks and other food, makes a very expensive weekend for the Irish.

Last home Champions Cup quarter final was Stade Francais in 2016, attendance was 20,866 - I can't remember what the capacity was at the time but there were 1,500 more supporters at the Gloucester game a week earlier. Even the semi at the City Ground was only 22,000 so I suppose these non-season-ticket knock out games are usually not sell outs anyway, regardless of cost of living etc.

Away trips are very expensive, our 2 to Clermont came to nearly £1000, we have supporters that go to every home and away matches, they must spend a fortune. Leinster usuall have a large travelling fan base, I bet many are leaving it late to book, Im sure we will have more or less a sellout. Take me home to Welford Road, Leicester Tigers. :smt035 :smt034 :smt041

We are going but I know fans who aren’t as 5:30 impacts on family life especially if there are young ones at home.
Think the prices are reasonable.

For 2 tickets in our normal seats it is a "special price ST early booking" of £50 each plus a booking fee whatever that is for given they are e-tickets. We are fortunate to be able to go, but for many it will be about choices at the moment.

In my experience, if there are spare seats, they’ll be filled by travelling Irish support by match day
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….
