My first rugby game last week and loved it! Been following rugby for years but never got off me arse and gone to a game. The two ticket deal finally swung me though. Great night out, great win and can't wait for next week!
I'l definitely be in regular attendance from now on

I just read on the website that there's a new go green for connacht competition this yr?? That look class in the town last season i hope the businesses buy into it again. If nothin else it'l show the blazers and alickadoo's from the pale that we exist and have a decent support!

Nope, they've sold out already for this game. There were still tickets on the gate for the Bayonne game last week.

Robbo

In truth, you'll always get in. Just be there a bit early on the day and you should be be sorted. There were ~1000 tickets left this morning so it shouldn't be an issue either way.

Steyr

Looking forward to another night fellas!

You wanna meet up with Myself/Robbo/Spender J??

We are normally directly behind the dugouts on the Clubhouse side screaming out "chase it" when the high ball goes up!

brianthebard

Going to be going with a friend and meeting my cousin and her friends, although I imagine we might not be anywhere near the latter since they've already gotten tickets and we haven't. We'll see how things go and where we're located.

fatguy2k1

there are exactly 18 tickets left for the match tomorrow - only available from the branch office tomorrow from 11am. that'll make 5,000 tickets sold - it'll be jammers tomorrow so arrive early.

***MATCH ALL SOLD OUT***

There are zero tickets left for this match. if you don;t have one already you're not getting in.

not to be hash or anything but they've been on sale since september.

Connacht supportes really need to get into the habit of getting tickets early for the big Derby games.

The munster game on the 26th of December is already on sale so don't say you haven't been warned.

Not to be harsh or anything but if Connacht want to get as many people as possible into games they need to have tickets available on the gate as well as online. I'm sure there are reasons for having ticket only games like keeping accurate attendance numbers or something equally integral to the game, but I don't see the harm in having 50-100 tickets at the gate for the day of the game.

For a game that is most likely going to be a sell out, it's safer to not have any tickets at the gates.

If you have tickets at the gates, you run the risk of people travelling (possibly long distances) and being turned away.

Hmm, 4852 at the game, seems a bit off 5,000 tbh....

fatguy2k1

tickets sold vs. people who actually show up are different things....

Rain might of scared a few off. Twas flipping freezing once the sun went down.

Unfortunate for Connacht, they could of gone in a half time winning but missed their penalty, and awful unlucky to loose out on the bonus point.
