Ulster Rugby seem to be desperately trying to flog them even now.

Hasn't been a squeak about sales numbers this year.

They were only about 600 behind target two weeks ago , not bad considering the ballix of the last year

I believe they were comparing two different time scales

Depends what the target is, last year's total, or last year - 25%

Numbers are meaningless. There could be an increased uptake in new season ticket holders masking the fact that previous season ticket holders are not renewing. The loss of free to air coverage might encourage some lazy feckers to actually attend.
It will be interesting to see if we can actually manage to sell some games out.

Optimistic with that last sentence, Dave.
Have you had a look at the ticket availability for Saturday - Scarlets were the second best team in the PRO14 last season. Then again they are the Welsh.

When Logan is finally replaced I may renew our season tickets.

I would suggest that there are many armchair fans out there who don't even realise that they won't get to watch on free to air this season.

They may not notice this week, thinking Saturday was always a bit different, but I think it will come as a big surprise when they tune in to BBC2 NI the following Friday night for the Embra match and there's nought to see.
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

I saw UR advertise a box which had come available for the season but seems they couldn't flog it as it was later advertised available on a match by match basis.

You've got to wonder from a sponsor perspective how you'd feel about going from 100k+ per week watching on free to air v maybe 10k + on PPV.

If only there was a way to enquire about the possibility of a game being televised....

If I'm not mistaken I think there has always been a box like that, I see Cool FM have their ad up on the old BBC box

Logan Paul and KSI drew 800,000 concurrents on a YouTube PPV and 1million watching a single illicit stream on twitch

I'd feel like I'd be looking to renegotiate my signage sponsorship fee down by ~90%.
