Rabo Final Tickets

Is there something else on in Dublin on the 25th?

Availability in hotels is very low and I can't see it being due to us playing the locals.

There are some resonable deals here........ http://www.trivago.co.uk

4 x in The Clyde Court.

Perhaps good forward planning on the part of Ulster supporters - booked in anticipation with the ability to cancel free of charge

There aren't enough Ulster folk travelling, with good planning skills or otherwise, to make as significant an impact on the availability of rooms in central Dublin as is evident on the night of the 25th.

Not a cost issue, but literally one of "no room at the inn" in many cases.

Don't know - but - Bewleys wasn't booked out on Wednesday - it is now!!!

Looked at 6 hotels in and around the RDS on Wed - all were available - all are fully booked now.

Anyone catch this in the match programme last night?

'Victory for Mark Anscombe's side on Friday, however, would force Ulster to play the Final at the Royal Dublin Showground rather than in Belfast. Tournament regulations stipulate a ground must hold at least 18,000 to stage the RaboDirect PRO12 Final but should their side triumph in their Play-Off, ULSTER SUPPORTERS CAN AT LEAST LOOK FORWARD TO A 50% REDUCTION ON THEIR TICKETS FOR THE FINAL AS THE DESIGNATED 'HOME' TEAM'.

Be interesting to see how this pans out.

WW - perhaps I'm being thick here, but am I right in reading the above as our tickets will be half the price of those sold to the "visiting" supporters for the same seat / area?

Thats what I would read into that Rovi.

That's an interesting development.

That's certainly my take on it Rovi.

I've just never seen it quite that bad for an Ulster game. The HEC semi last year was a lot easier to book. Hence wondering if there was owt else on that was likely to be pulling folks into Dublin.

[Wee Woman]

Still availability in the Ballsbridge Hotel but the prices are pretty high now.

Aye, sorted... I think.

Just need to work out getting to bloody Liverpool on the Sunday morning now.
