Munster’s season ticket sales slide

MUNSTER’S season ticket sales have plummeted by 15% at a time when the other three provinces are reporting an increase in sales.

The champions begin the defence of the Celtic League crown this weekend when they take on Newport Gwent Dragons in the opening game of the RaboDirect Pro12 but there will be less people in Musgrave Park and Thomond Park this season unless sales pick up.

Unlike the other three provinces, Munster have for many years sold their Heineken Cup tickets separately so this may be a factor in their sales dropping.
