There’s a direct flight from Dublin but only lands 90 mins before KO
Easyjet from Belfast via London/Paris/Bristol is your best bet.
Belfast to Paris on the afternoon of the 7th.

Trains to Brive on the 8th, Toulouse on the 9th and Montpellier (for Quins) on the 10th.

I just need to work out how to get back and then ask Mrs justinr73…!
Well she’s booked the days off work…

Personally, I think it should be one (if any). It's a slap in the bake for anybody that goes most weeks, pays their money but doesn't have a ST.
Im pretty sure they did 6 before (maybe 6 total, i cant mind) and it worked grand.

The ST holders just made sure the deserving got a ticket. It would more a slap in the gub if a regular doesn't get because a bunch of bandwagoners are faster at getting on to ticketmaster.

As a community we know who twhe good guys are.

Also IIRC the URSC mou with UR gives priority to URSC members (after season ticket holders). I dont remember being asked for subs this year. Am I still a member? Is anyone?

They sent us the URSC Covid (we haven't gone away you know) masks last year.

I think we're still on the books.

Possibly? The URSC tends to be added as an afterthought after much wailing and teeth gnashing on social media.

But if it is in the agreement between URSC and UR, then it should happen. It definitely has in the past.

Whilst season ticket holders must take priority without a doubt the 6 additional tickets is bit much. There's a lot of people who due to work commitments and other circumstances don't have season tickets but attend as many games as they can on adhoc basis. Perhaps the 2 pool games should have been taken into consideration or even a loyalty points systems for games attended throughout the season.It would take a bit of working out but I am sure it's doable with all the digitalisation etc. You'll never keep everyone happy though ...

They are still around but have not done any activities in last couple of years given the situation, so may start activities again next season and start charging a subscription again.

Read on the Leinster forum that they are getting approx 800-900 tickets as an away allocation for the Galway game (10% of capacity), so Ulster should get 3,300. Plenty to cover any demand.

Assuming you want to sit with other Ulster fans, they will receive an allocation of 3,300 in theory and those will be offered to STHs 1st then on general sale. Should be zero issue getting a ticket and people usually say which section they have booked before general sale starts. Will post on here when Ulster send out the email re tickets for the away game etc and if people say which section they are going for.

Alternatively, keep an eye on the Toulouse website if you wish to buy from them directly.

That's what i thought. We are still technically members although our subs have been reducced to zero. We would therefore be entitled to priority tickets. (Assuming I remember the agreement with UR and it has not been amended)

Toulouse have just lost for the 5th time in a row and they were at home to an average Stade team. Good win for Ireland U20's.
