40 quid for a stand ticket is a bit steep in my opinion. The tickets for Twickenham last may weren't as dear as that.

And the programme could be wrong as well!

C'mon Roost...this is sexy play-off rugby...are you suggesting that their is a lack of interest in this format?

The Ospreys being crowned champions last year raised the profile of the league no end...ffs get with the programme...and less of that oul apathy talk!
Trouble is browner, Rooster is wrong. It did sell out.
Take yourself off!;-)

Stand tickets for Ravenhill are 38 or 40 quid. Being stuck up at the back of the stand with the lovely pillars in the way is not my idea of prime location.

That's all organised now and I'd assume that there are many others who took the "hint" and organised thir own thing little expecting Scarlets returns.

UR need to get it out there that there are tickets available.


Well said Mr Knight - the whole marketing has been a complete shambles from queuing for hours on end on Saturday - one ticket per transaction ... an online ticket clusterballix powered by North Korea's third best travel agent ... and then the – “don't bother asking we're all sold out nothing to see here, I think” - radio silence about getting what's left of tickets out there.

300 Scarlets fans coming - we knew that was about it - so the other 1500 tickets - what happens them ... it's a PR disaster. Team will be mighty impressed by a half full stadium with the stand populated by eejits sitting miles from each other cos the online hamster driven ticket machine couldn't organise a pi$h up in Danny Cipriani's bus terminus.

Prom and Terrace sold out with a few hundred left in the stand and behind the posts. Should be full or near to, though it has been a bit of a horlix.

I suspect many casual fans who would normally fill the stand probably bought standing tkts for this one.

The Leinster Ulster semi didn't sell out. One of my party purchased at the gate.
Can I come out from behind the sofa yet?

Leinster v Glasgow not sold out - plus still over 1000 seats available for HC Final - looks like the D4's wallets are getting a bit light and the market has been maxed out!

Ravenhill will be full on Friday :fleg: :red:
Finished
