Connacht Away 7th October 16

by 10 or 15 only
As 4 of us are going to this game, hotel booked, I wondered about tickets.

Connacht have on sale their Sept. home games. No Clan Terrace or Main Stand Terrace tickets available for those games.

I emailed the ticket office regarding our game and got this reply,

"It doesn’t look likely that there will be any Main Stand tickets available for the rest of the season."

So which end do we pick? The wind and rain in our backs or in our faces. Pray for a dry day.

Just as expected STs have obviously sold well. The sooner they increase the capacity the better.

Hotel booked day the fixture came out....as for tickets , got a couple of freebies via work, went to a couple of their games last season and had a great time whilst in the terrace and afterwards in their hospitality tent.

Top folk and top time.

Contacted UR to ask if there would be an "Ulster allocation" for this game or just buy direct from Connacht...still waiting for a response.

There is an alternative option to standing behind the posts and gambling on Galway's very unpredictable weather...the enclosure :duck:

Normally just buy direct from club for PRO12 matches.
They were advertising a job for someone in ticket office so perhaps you are caught up in changeover?
Trouble with the enclosure is you get a good view but no atmosphere from outside, though suppose easier to get drink and bogs

What is unpredictable about Galway weather?

They never used to check tickets at the sportsground . Will an enclosure ticket not get you into the terrace?

Yes - Enclosure tickets get you into the general mix area at the bar downstairs and there's no check to get onto the terrace from there.

You do get queue less bogs as well.

The Connacht fans have made Murty Rabbits as their main pub for this season. Was previously the Dail Bar.

Tickets not out yet but the ticket prices will be:

Adult Terrace 27.50 Euro
Main Stand 37.50 Euro
Enclosure 44 Euro

Concession prices will be reduced naturally. They are putting in a new temporary stand for this season beside the main stand which will seat 300 which they claim will be covered. The tickets should be available in the next couple of weeks.

Thus the new temp stand, tickets for it now appearing for the Glasgow game on Sat. Not surprisingly the Ulster game along with the other inter-pros and the Not the Heineken Cup games are Cat 1 matches along. The other Pro 12 home games v the likes of Glasgow etc are Cat 2.

Adult Terrace 27.50 E - Cat 1/22 E - Cat 2
Main Stand/Reserved Seat Stand 37.50 E - Cat 1/32.50 E - Cat 2
Enclosure 44 E - Cat 1/33 E - Cat 2

For anyone heading down for the game, there is also a jazz festival on the same weekend, if that's your thing.

I am told that due to this festival being on, hotel prices are higher than normal.

The Enclosure has sold out. Tickets still available behind the posts and in the Reserved Seating Stand. Corporate options also available.
