29k was a very good crowd. I wasn’t sure it would break 25k. Given they’d a week to sell ticket.

They sold all the tickets that were available. As far as I can make out they took a view that Glasgow would beat Munster so had gambled that the capped lower attendance would be enough. They then organised the logistics and staffing for that crowd. It was too late to adjust it up when munster won

Ah come here, with the support Leinster have should be a sell out. Stormers had a week to sell tickets for a semi v Connacht and sold 45,000.

In Cape town population 4m+

Pro rata I’d say the Aviva attendance, even without the cap on tickets sold, stands up to that comparison

The Gahliban are seething

The Gahliban are seething

It’s a bit unhinged

Shows how nervy they are about the way the gaa is gone recently. Scandal after scandal and attendances struggling.

So weird, a scandal on a daily basis but up in arms about a team that seem to have a home game quite regulalrly “only” selling 30k tickets

The scandals won’t be slowing down either.

A prominent Limerick player is set to be sentenced in the coming weeks. Word on the street is that it won’t end well for him

Leinster and Munster must have a combined population of 2 million and sold less tickets than round robin hurling games.

I don’t have the time to read back on the thread. Has the underage mentor getting jailed at Wexford Circuit Court on Friday got an airing yet? I believe it’s the first time in the GAA that a term of imprisonment has been imposed for an assault on a match official. A new low.

Leinster stated if demand was there they would open the whole stadium. Obviously demand was not there.

Record number of tickets to be sold for Munster hurling championship according to John Fogarty in Examiner.

There’s been 4 years of the split season. This is the first time Waterford aren’t playing in their 10k stadium so the numbers were always going to be up.

We had no home game the first year either.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

In fairness ye barely broke 10k last night anyway.

[ChairmanDan]

The Waterford crowd there last night was pitiful. There was a small crowd there to begin with first day against Limerick and it’s tailed off every day since then. I doubt anybody outside of a few family member of players will travel to the last day dead rubber against Tipperary.

You think it’s a low that someone gets sent to jail for assaulting an official?

[Tim_Riggins]

Where was this? They are pretty much set once they announce the capacity. Even renting the Aviva on short notice is expensive.

[Perez2017]

Leinster announced they would sell more tickets if demand was there. It obviously wasnt. Doesnt surprise me, thousands of empty seats at Ravenhill for home quarter final, Leinster couldnt sell out a European semi, Munster cant sell out European games anymore. Outside of Ireland games demand is well down for rugby games and Ireland games consist of thousands of piss heads drinking at the bar.

When did they announce that?

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Tbh, i need an offsider to help me keep up

Maybe @padjo or @tazdedub might help out

[Gman]

Wasnt underage mentor, was manager of the junior adult team. Been spoken about lots at the time and since. Its a good thing he was jailed, scumbag going after the ref when the game was over.

[Thomas_Brady]

There’s almost 4 million people living in both Munster and Leinster… They couldn’t crack 30k last night.

Awful turnout to be fair.
