High price to pay for slow ticket uptake

THE depth of feeling against the IRFU’s ticketing policy for the autumn internationals has not stopped All- Ireland League clubs from getting creative in their efforts to shift their allocations and avoid a damaging financial hit.

Derek Clements, Dungannon RFC club secretary was critical of the IRFU and admitted they were “struggling at the present time” to sell tickets.

“Off the top of my head, most of the New Zealand ones have gone but South Africa is a bit disappointing and as you would expect, Samoa, there’s not a great amount of interest and Argentina’s somewhere in-between.”
