Munster ticket plan to battle recession

MUNSTER COUNCIL officials will unveil a series of new measures next week to ensure that cash-strapped supporters have a better chance of attending the summer’s big championship clashes.

Provincial chairman Jimmy O’Gorman has revealed that a greater number of family packages will be made available for top games, with tickets situated in much better areas at the various venues.

The exact details will be revealed at Lismore Castle in Waterford tomorrow week, when the 2009 Munster hurling and football championships are officially launched.
