He's playing the nice guy and the victim when the truth is he has players associated with him bullying people and trying to display their superiority by grinning at the cameras and pulling faces whilst wearing the Irish jersey. When someone who has integrity like myself sees someone acting without it by taking advantage of their position on the Irish team it gets my goat watching Venjur playing the nice guy and the victim when the truth is the complete opposite. It's no laughing matter watch someone take advantage of their position in life to act without integrity whilst in the Irish jersey

I understand those words but that sentence makes no sense.

I think what Granny really means is, "Frank Carson, News at 10, 2 boiled eggs." Or other words also in random order.

Huh?

Dubinusa · 21-01-2019 11:35pm

I find Mr Venjur very knowledgeable and accommodating.
I can't recall Venjur bullying anyone on this forum!
I may be wrong though?
More scrutiny is needed, when Venjur posts.
Maybe I am missing the point and am clueless.

Up there with the best that surrealism has to offer. Much like "Son of Man", I don't get it, but then I was never ever the arty type.

Quarter final ticket sorted. I can confirm it's the same seat your arse graced for Bath. Not necessarily the one you were allocated.

Synode · 22-01-2019 11:22am

Yeah I upgraded my 2 kids to adult tickets for Bath and they've stayed upgraded for the QF

So, are the tickets are on sale for Season ticket holders?
Has the venue and time been announced yet?

Leinster are giving season ticket holders the chance to buy the same seats they had at the Bath game. Season ticket holders can't start just buying up seats wherever they want until next Tuesday.

Then the general sale is on next Thursday.

They've confirmed it's in Lansdowne but no date yet. They said it'll be announced this week.

Tickets are fairly pricey

€50 for top tier, front row, sideline seats?

Bargain.

ktulu123 · 22-01-2019 12:07pm

60 Bills for mine

dregin · 22-01-2019 12:13pm

The price isn't what bothers me. I was pretty annoyed by the fact that we've been moved from one end of the block we're usually in right down to the other end. I assume this is to accomodate sales of extra corporate tickets closer to the half way line. A real slap in the sack.

Where were you originally? I'm front row, block 505 and they didn't move us.

Went from the halfway end of block 122, to the south end.

€60 for seats in the Aviva with a worse view than our seats in the RDS. I'll be waiting til next week to change them. Bottom tier in the Aviva is dreadful

Shefwedfan · 22-01-2019 12:45pm

Are they letting people buy for friends? no season ticket this year?

How much for the premium level?

Disagree on that entirely. Some of the best views I've had have been in the lower tier. Admittedly I would only sit from the half way point upwards but the views are good.

From Tuesday to Thursday next week, there is a presale yes.

My tickets are on the 22 in the premium section and were about 160 for the two so just under 80 for that end of the premium level.

They're opening up additional tickets to STH on Tues 29/1/19 @ 10am until it opens to the public on Thu 31/1/19 @ 10am. They're also doing the following:-

Special Offer of €10 tickets available in Upper Stands + 2 for €100 South Premium

What are the corners like? I'm in row Q in block 517 in the south west corner for the England game.

Richie_Rich89 · 22-01-2019 2:13pm

Interesting piece on Conor O'Brien here https://www.the42.ie/conor-obrien-henshaw-toulouse-minis-4451464-Jan2019/

He's lucky to be seeing a bit of action considering the Leinster regime's plan was to have an NIQ wing playing 12 in all the games Henshaw was unavailable for.

Corners on the lower tier are tricky because you can end up behind production equipment or pillars but corners in the upper tier are absolutely fine. The height helps with a better overview of the game too.

Lower tier unfortunately. I'm close enough to the back though I think.

517 should be upper tier as the 5 indicates the fifth floor. If you meant 117 and are in Row Q, you will be absolutely fine as regards 'things in your way', will be a good view!

It's really the first ten-ish rows that can be a lottery.

Sorry yes, I meant 117.

Grand, you've put my mind at ease. The seat viewer thing on the Aviva website never works to double check.

Ah you'll be absolutely fine. Good seats at a good height! It's only the first ten or so rows where camera rigs can start getting in the way.

Block 517 is upper tier.

Upper tier are the best seats in the house. The Lower tier is mostly rubbish
