    When I booked tickets to this event I had to pay for adult tickets as the allocated childrens and family tickets were in such a bad area.

    In the last hour I have received an email from them stating that the stand I booked is now going to be closed and that we will be seated in the opposite stand on the day on a first come basis. I rang ticketmaster and they say it is part of the T&C's and they cannot do anything, that it is the organisers who will be sorting it out on the day.

    You're absolutely right - the family tickets are in the nosebleed section, not suitable at all for kids. Friend advised me to buy terrace tickets to allow access to kids activities on site. Hope you enjoy the rugby.

    The sales of tickets are woeful, so it's not surprising they closed one of the stands. The marketing of this outside of Limerick has been pathetic, so it's not really surprising that ticket sales are so low. Typical of the Munster marketing dept.

    I would expect you can, the Limerick game and the Women's WC game are being broadcast in the Dugout bar and the newly developed family area outside the ground.

    Fine thunderstorm in Limerick for those of us lucky enough to be left at home watching Setanta on loop.

    They've closed the west stand and terrace. They're very relaxed about movement on the east side, in the terrace there was room to stand out of the rain. Bertha leaving town tonight - should be better tomorrow.
