Munster fans snap up 4,000 Leinster tickets

THE FAI isn’t the only association finding it hard to shift tickets.

The Leinster Branch sent back almost 4,000 tickets of their 6,500 allocation for this Saturday’s Magners League meeting with Munster. Almost two years ago the sides attracted a world-record crowd of 82,208 to their Heineken Cup.

However, with Leinster winning five of the sides’ recent meetings, there is a huge appetite for the game amongst Munster fans who snapped up the tickets and the televised Thomond Park showdown will still be a 26,000 sellout.
