Anybody know where to get a few tickets?
If you hold a 10-year croke park ticket, would that give you an option to buy one?

They are supposedly on sale on ticketmaster from yesterday but when I went to buy a couple it said none were available.
yeah heard the 5000 available were sold out with in 30 minutes.
Any other way of getting hold of a ticket?

Appears to be the ticket situation $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$

Not a great fan of Rugby. Cant stand the Munster "best fans in the World" @( official copyright) attitude. Binmen v Lawyers.......mmmmmm Imo the Munster team attract the small town Golf Club jersey type ........ think they are better than everyone else.
Hope Leinster win to shut these hooray Henrys up and also have 2 mates who suport Leinster and would be delighted for them. From what I hear there is more of a GAA background in the Leinster lads and that is good enough for me.

Another "greatest day ever in history of Croke Park" heap of drivel to listen to in the next few weeks together with listening to that cliche ridden clown Gerry Thornley on the wireless.

Will also have to bite my lip when Ryle calls kicking a ball over the sideline as "pure class".

I have to agree. Have to listen to more cliched bullshit about rugby being the heartbeat of the nation when we won the grand slam and 15k turned up. But there is an element of the leinster support that I can't stand either, but I'll be hoping they win. They'll probably let us all down like they invariably do. They could at least throw a leg at it this time round.

Living here in the heart of Munster I should really be shouting for them but I am hoping that Leinster win to be honest! The amount of shite being spouted by the Munster fans is unreal i.e the best fans in the world, the win over the All-Blacks, the heartbeat of a nation etc etc. I was told over the weekend that the GAA is fucked that rugby will be Ireland's biggest sport and the Leinster team is only a shower of west brits, and if you're any kind of man you'll be shouting for Munster! I am sick and tired of it to be honest. These people by the way are not members of any rugby club, nor do they coach youngesters in rugby nor have they ever played rugby at any level! But they are members of the Munster Supporters Club and have tickets for every match! The closer the game comes the more the hype will be and I am sure it will be a great day for Irish sport but save me this drivel!

And that is precisely why the Gaa have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Myles Na G. · April 14, 2009, 11:01:32 AM

Would like to see Leinster win it - the Munster lot are so up themselves they can be hard to stick. Also don't like the fact that for some of them, Munster comes before Ireland on their loyalty list.

Fully expect Ulster to be involved in the final stages of the HC next season.

Main Street · April 14, 2009, 12:04:25 PM

It would be a mercy killing if someone shafted that Nugent guy with his hyperbole "Glory Glory Munster".
Even more ridiculous is Brand Leinster criticing Munster for their Brandness or vice versa.

It's unfortunate for Irish people that if we look forward to and want to watch some top class rugby from the countries best players we have to be treated as if our brains were in our arse, pummelled with the most inane commentary drivel and peppered with 'stereohype' about Brand Leinster and Brand Munster.

Not bothered that much either way but If i had to choose then I hope Munster win.

AZOffaly · April 14, 2009, 02:18:46 PM

Clever move by Leinster re Tickets. After the red invasion last time around, they are allowing their season ticket holders buy 6 each for this game, which should ensure most Leinster tickets end up in the hands of Leinster fans.

Munster season ticket holders are only allowed buy 1 each.

Teams in red do it for you?

I'm a complete neutral when it comes to the semi-final. I've got my ticket for the final and I've booked the accomodation so just looking forward to the weekend in Edinburgh in May. The success of both teams is great for Irish rugby and hopefully Ulster will be more competitive next season as well. It's amazing how strong Ireland is internationally with such few professional sides.
