    Are any of the regulars here going to the Moseley friendly?

    Yeah I probably am. It's the same weekend as the Craft Beer thing in the RDS so it's a nice prelude to that.

    Probably, what date is it again?


  • Administrators Posts: 53,127 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    28th august.Week after the Ulster friendly.

    Are you going to the stand or the terrace?


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    I didn't get a free ticket so I probably won't. Even with the 20% discount it's not worth it. I'll wander down after though.

    Think I got stand tickets... but I wouldn't be surprised if you can go wherever you want.

    Terrace all the way. You can't beat being that close to the action. And I'd expect this one to be reasonably entertaining tbh even if it's a low key one.

    It's actually the craft cider if truth be told. The variation in those at these things is fairly surprising. And I'm not talking about sugary pear/berry type concoctions.


  • Administrators Posts: 53,127 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Craft cider, cause craft beer is now too mainstream. :(

    I love cider. It always annoyed me how difficult it was to get good stuff in Ireland and the general view of the drink. Was one of the best things about living in England - getting good and varied ciders.

    Alas, Switzerland (which has perfect bloody weather for it) doesn't do cider at all.

    I see Molloy trimmed the beard...

    Norman cider is lovely, very dry.









    F*ck, I've been assimilated by the hipster borg...




    And, also, way off topic. Eh, Leo Cullen's great!

    Pffft, look at you with your four friends! :rolleyes:

    I love how the 20% discount is counter-balanced by the 20% service charge :D

    Yea it's the usual nonsense from ticketbastard.


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    If I turn up on the night and get a terrace ticket I assume I avoid the TM charge?


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,073 ✭✭✭✭vienne86

    I was thinking the exact same! Miss out on the 20% discount though!?! If I do go, it will be a last minute decision anyway.

    If you turn up and get the ticket without the ticketbastard charge it'll cost the same as the ticket with the discount with the charge included.

    Either way you'll be paying a tenner.

    If the 20% TM charge is on the discounted ticket price technically its slightly cheaper to get online.

    Though I'm guessing its on the full price. Cause it's ticketmaster..


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    I would prefer to pay a little more if it meant TM gets nothing.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 6,524 Mod ✭✭✭✭dregin


    Can you still avoid ticketmaster charges by going to their booth in either Jervis or Stephen's Green shopping centres?

    There is still a €2.50 booking charge per ticket at the booths

    Yes, probably this week.

    Wow that jersey looks stunning! That's the standard jersey and not the European one, right?

    Sexton reckons Leo is "exactly what we need" according to an interview in the Sunday Times (who broke the Leo story in the first place) .

    Says of last season:
    "Maybe his influence dipped in the role of assistant coach and he was trying to keep to job spec"

    They also say that the IRFU have approved the appointment and Leo will shortly be looking for a backs coach.

    Interesting times ahead.
