Ulster Rugby will take its full allocation of tickets for the match, which equates to 25% of the stadium capacity. There will be a priority booking period for season ticket holders, during which they will be able to purchase up to 8 tickets
So unless UR have got their facts wrong, then it's 20,000. Mind you, if STH can have up to 8 each then the rest of us are fecked. :banghead:
I'm not sure UR have a history of being that precise. They could easily mean 25% of available tickets.
Can I come out from behind the sofa yet?

wonder if many leinster and munster fans will go along? Tickets should be easy enough.

UR need to be careful not to hold tickets back for too long. Certainly let season ticket holders have their chance but need to get them onto the free market,

Going by the price of our flights (For those of us unfortunate enough to be flying from Dublin), ALL the Leinster & Munster fans will be in London that weekend. If 10% turn up we could be outnumbered, Saracens should market it to Leinster and Munster fans as a freak show or 80's night with the slogan "Come and see more than three Ulstermen play in an international stadium"

Look, it was flagged by relatives in London. Don't think the sarcy response was helpful.

Cheers for the heads up.

To be fair most of the sites I looked at said the 6 apr but booking flights last week represented a leap of faith given sarries previous form.

Kalms has kicked in nicely!

Booked flights last weekend and bloody glad there wont be a scramble for tickets now... contacted a few friends in the Southeast and they will take 4 of my allocation of 8 - think the uncertainty was putting a lot off committing but now the floodgates will open!

There must be a massive Ulster diaspora over there who would fancy a day out at rugby HQ?

Agree Bangorboy...4 ulster exiles have contacted me already since the twickers announcement asking for a share of my allocation :red:
