Munster ticket masters fall short of resolution

EMOTIONS ran high at an extraordinary general meeting of the Munster Branch on Monday night, called to discuss the controversial ticket distribution for next month’s Heineken Cup quarter-final against Stade Français at Thomond Park.

One hundred and twenty five delegates voiced their concerns, with Limerick senior clubs tabling a motion expressing dissatisfaction at allocations.

Garrett Fitzgerald, Munster Branch chief executive, told the meeting that the reduction in clubs’ allocation was unavoidable because tournament rules allow the visiting team and their commercial partners increased entitlements for the quarter-finals.
