    When are you heading over? If you are arriving Friday you can collect them between 9-5 rather than match day. I was onto the ticket office as wasn't keen on doing it match day.
    That's what bothered me too - we're not going over until the Saturday, so I sent an email about getting delivery to Ireland. It'll be interesting to see what it costs - they said they would keep my email on file and contact me several weeks before the match.

    Not sure if they are open the saturday, the reply I got was 'The ticket centre will be open from 9am on match day and in the week leading up to the match from 9am to 5pm.' so not sure if that includes saturday. We said as we are there early Friday morning we will just get them on the way in from the airport. Or following on from you guys might look at getting them posted over.

    Howdy.

    Could anyone tell me if id have any chance of picking up 2 tickets to the Wales vs Ireland 6 nations match?
    I have never gone to an international before so have no idea about the ways to get tickets, are there "away supporters" tickets i can get through MRSC or do I need to go via club or whats the craic?

    Cheers for any help.

    Via clubs would be your best bet...

    Also season ticket holders of the provinces usually get an option to put their name into a lottery. I know they do this for leinster anyway. No guarantee of a ticket though...

    Some people might have spares in pubs etc and willing to let them go for face value...

    What sections are left that you think aren't great? To be honest, I've pretty much sat in every seat possible in Lansdowne Road and I've never had a bad view...

    501, 502, 528 and 529 all have tickets left, in cheaper areas that is! Budget isn't the highest!

    Not sure if this is the right thread for this but here goes. Me and a couple of friends are going heading out to Musgrave Park for the Munster game in Febuary and I was jsut wondering what the best way to get out there is? Also how long before the game would it be a good idea to arrive and finally is there a pub nearby to hang out in if we're early? Anything else I should bear in mind?

    I ordered from Ticketmaster UK before Christmas and got the email from SRU last week about delivery. Rang them, paid the £8 and received the tickets yesterday. They arrived by courier (well, a guy driving a Ford Focus!), but were just dropped through the letterbox - no signature required.

    Just saw this now..

    It's about a 30 minute walk from the city centre, so it's easy walking distance. Or, you could grab a taxi, or take the 203 bus which goes right by the stadium. If you're cheeky, you could take the (free) Park 'n' Ride bus which goes to a car across the road from the stadium. Once there, you'll be inside in 5 minutes, there are never big queues.

    Outside the stadium, there aren't any great pubs; the Tory Top is the only one close by. You could try the Hawthorn pub, it's a nice spot right by the Lough (can grab food there as well) and it's a 10-15 minute walk from Musgrave. Otherwise, try pubs in Turners Cross, or in the city centre. PM me if you've any questions.

    Usually go to Edinburgh each time Ireland are playing and each time we just pick up our tickets at Murrayfield an hour before the game.

    Once you order online with the SRU, just pick them up at the portacabin thingy just inside the gates of the stadium.

    Maybe not the right place to post this, but I was wondering if a fellow Ulsterman somewhere might be able to help me out...

    So...need a bit of help with the ticket office. I ordered four tickets to Sarries-Ulster off Ulster's ticket site. So far so good. This was the first time I'd booked online, as I normally pay on the day if I'm over in Belfast and buy from the visiting club for games in England (currently live over here). Anyway, I clearly forgot to read the small print, and apparently away tickets are only able to be picked up in person from the TO. I'm hoping this might be different for such a high profile match, but yeah, that's what the booking confirmation message says.

    I've sent them an email explaining that I live in Sheffield and won't be over in Ireland until at least May...how likely is it that they'll make an exception? And am I definately right that they won't be posted out (this is really confusing me as I've paid £1 for postage...but they have said quite clearly they don't post for awaydays). They haven't got back to me yet after two days.

    I have 4 tickets for the Amlin final that I would like to swap for the HEC final.
    Would prefer to have 4 together or 2 sets of 2, as I'm taking the kids along.
    All 4 for the Amlin final are together in the South stand.

    Thanks

    not certain that this post will stay long.

    Leinster tweeted yesterday that they are permitting ticket swaps / sales on their forum on babblingbrook - http://forum.leinsterfans.com/index.php

    Failing that, Twitter seems a good place to organise tickets.

    Bernard Jackman sorting me out at the moment!

    Thanks Emmet,
    I've tried to register for that site without success - not sure what the problem is!
    If you know anyone on there looking to swap tickets please feel free to point them in my direction.

    thanks
