I thought tickets for the Aviva game against Connacht were to go on sale yesterday? Nothing showing on ticketmaster.
edit - On sale via Connacht site.
No shortage to be fair. As things stand, no Enterprise that day, bus substitution from Drogheda. Doing work on the line.
Only the lower tier and premium level on sale so far. Cheeky gits star3ting by selling only the most expensive seats first. Did not know about the enterprise that day. The decent M1 Express bus from Glengall Street never went back on sale either. i might have to explore parking options at this rate and make it a dry day.

Think it is only the lower tier and premium level for this game, i.e. only 1 day after crowd restrictions lift down South so Connacht going for 50% of Lansdowne Road v Sportsground - 25k v 4k.
Got lower tier for 37 Euro Inc service charge, not bad.

We usually take about 500 to Dublin so I’m quite glad not to be perched in the top tier.

Difficult not to pay the extra for a premium seat. Given it’s a bank holiday weekend there’s no chance I’ll be staying over so that’s a hundred euro saved.

Ger. Parking at Malahide and using the Dart has worked very well for me in the past. Parking in Dublin is a mare as I'm sure you're well aware.

This is the ticket. Dart the whole way to Lansdowne road as well. Hard to beat for the cost of a ticket and a few quids fuel. Good shout. Thanks.

Another Alternative is The Dart at Sutton with good parking and convenient to Suttonians Rugby Club.

So Connacht have moved the game to Dublin on an Irish Bank Holiday weekend with no Enterprise service and no Dart service north of Connolly.
Bold Strategy Cotton, lets see if it pays off for them!

Watching Premier and awaiting the Connacht v Bulls game.
They are stating the SA sides are capped at 4.5million and Jackman is saying Leinster are north of 10millions.
Is this right and what’s Ulsters spend?

Heard that about Leinster. The Boks one is factored in by the weakness of the rand of course. Top 14 is €10MN this season, Premiership is £5MN + 2 players outside the cap. Welsh around £4MN mark.

It’d be nice to get some accurate visibility on budgets. The numbers floating around are all over the show. I think i saw recently one of the Welsh articles having Leinster close to £13m, w/ Munster around 10/11 and Ulster 8/9.

South Africa off UK COVID Red list, means the Welsh sides can play their away games down there in November instead of the games being in Italy.

Think Translink are running coaches for the Connacht game.
