HEC Final - Still going?

Larbre34 · 02-05-2013 2:41pm #1

I got four tickets for the big final in Dublin, going to keep two and go with the OH, sell the other two. Talking to some of my match going friends, they are planning to flog all their tickets and not go at all, which surprised me.

So, of the rugby boardsies of all provinces who bought tickets in anticipation of a final appearance, will you still go and show your support for the showpiece of European rugby or make back the few quid and stay at home?

Add a poll there chief.

A HC final in Dublin, hopefully a cracking day out and a great game to follow. Damn straight I'm still going.

All of us who bought are still going. Gonna make a weekend out of it!

errlloyd · 02-05-2013 2:58pm

I couldn't not vote for Dennis.

Mostly because I didn't get tickets in the first place, but if I did have tickets, I'd defo still be going. Rugby is rugby, top class rugby is top class rugby. I don't know any rugby match that has that many world class superstars in it.

It's almost like the Baabaas playing the lions in terms of quality.

I'm heartened by the responses......'gonna go home n' smack my Leinster friends in the mouth'

Still heading along. we got 4 for both amlin and heineken cup. will be a great weekend

Brian CivilEng · 02-05-2013 6:52pm

I only bought my ticket yesterday, so I reckon I'll still go

Teferi · 02-05-2013 8:18pm

Me and Emmet got a pair yesterday. Leinster by the grace of Bod, Clermont for the day.

vienne86 · 02-05-2013 8:21pm

I always intended going, no matter who is playing - usually a good day of rugby, and goodness knows when we will next have this event in Dublin.

Very happy to support Clermont.

toomevara · 02-05-2013 8:27pm

Remember going to Toulouse/Perpignan in Lansdowne in 03. Bloody awful atmosphere, flat as a pancake, but reckon Clermont's fans should create a decent buzz.

Dave_The_Sheep · 02-05-2013 10:01pm

Are there tickets still available? I'd happily don yellow for the day.

Inventive User Name · 02-05-2013 10:10pm

Are all the neutrals supporting Clermont?

KJY · 02-05-2013 10:33pm

You'd nearly hope for Clermont to give them a drubbing, at least in the first half, as I'm afraid that's the only way we'll get a great game. Toulon really are a horribly dour team to watch. Hopefully watching them chase the game and/or watching Fofana and really flinging the ball around will the game live up to the occasion.

But yeah, I'd still go

The thought of a punch-up between Cudmore and D. Armitage is extremely appetising.

[Jackass] · 02-05-2013 11:48pm

Definitely go no matter who was ever going to be in the final, but if not Leinster, it will be nice to be able to go to a game and support Clermont.

Bought tickets to the Amlin as well, never imagining that I'd be going to see Leinster that day

Ah well, a trophy is a trophy if we can win it!

ScrubsfanChris · 03-05-2013 1:53am

Still going, haven't been to Lansdowne since the revamp so its also a bit special.
Never been to see a professional game as a neutral and 2008 was the last H-Cup final I was at, for obvious reasons

[Jackass] · 03-05-2013 1:58am

Is it sold out? Really hope we don't have a repeat of the last final in Dublin, which probably contributed to the 10 year wait to get it back...

chris85 · 03-05-2013 7:59am

I have both Amlin and HCup final tickets so should be a great weekend. Supporting Clermont on the day.

danthefan · 03-05-2013 8:00am

Bought tickets for the HEC and Amlin back last May and I would certainly go to the final but I'll be on holiday.

Would certainly encourage anyone with tickets to go, it's an amazing day out.

HEC sold out shortly after the tickets became avail.
Amlin sold out a few weeks back.

What happened the last time?

pc7 · 03-05-2013 8:42am

I swapped mine for Amlin tickets as I hadn't bought them, if I hadn't managed to swap and get the Amlin tickets I would have still gone.

03-05-2013 8:48am

Where's the option for "Got tickets this week"?

edit: there were some available on Ticketmaster ( that's where I got mine)

Got HEC tickets so far, now to source a pair of Amlins!

It sold out but because Leinster and Munster got knocked out in the semis, about 30,000 turned up for the final between Toulouse and Perpignan.
It was still a sell-out though.

Honey-ec · 03-05-2013 10:26am

Yep, still going.

Will silently support Clermont, as I plan to have absolutely no voice left after the Amlin final.

thomasm · 03-05-2013 10:30am

Still going, some players on show

That and the wife has a teenage girl like crush on Jonny Wilkinson.

If I had tickets I'd defo still go. Sure I flew to Paris for the 2010 final that Leinster didn't make so why wouldn't I go in my hometown?! But I wasn't quick off the mark so I didn't buy tickets, then they sold out, and now I'm broke. But I'd defo go - the Leinster Clermont game in Landsdown was one of the best rugby days out so I'd go and don yellow for the day!
