Big ticket boost for the Red Army

HEINEKEN Cup officials confirmed last night that a further 1,750 tickets for Munster’s European Cup semi-final clash with Saracens on Sunday week have been allocated to the province.

Having already secured 14,000 for the Ricoh Arena on Sunday week, Munster will now have access to almost 16,000 tickets for the game. Additionally, 1,500 tickets will go on general sale tomorrow morning through Ticketmaster and a further 500 through the Ricoh Arena itself.

Munster rugby officials have also won their appeal to have their Magners League game with Ulster re-fixed. The game will now take place 24 hours after the original date, on Wednesday April 30.
