Leinster scrap season tickets for 2020/21 amid pandemic uncertainty

Leinster Rugby have taken the “unprecedented step” of cancelling their season ticket offering for 2020/21 as the province grapples with the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing requirements which are likely to be in place for the foreseeable future.

Season ticket sales are the financial cornerstone of the business model at a professional club level. Leinster have grown their number of season ticket holders on a consistent basis over a long period of time. The number currently stands at 12,800 but the RDS will not be able to accommodate all of these people when it reopens for home games.
