Will wait for allocation. Travel plans extremely flexible due to free accom at Hotel Senior Hornet.

Anyone have an idea about when Leinster get their allocation and when we might hope to get offered such tickets ?

This ones not far off being sold out now lads. Was going to wait to find out where our allocation is but I've decided to go ahead and buy some in the south stand to be safe.

Quins have just been given their allocation for the Aviva, so I imagine it will be announced shortly. They've probably put some aside as they have to offer some to travelling sides, but seeing the rubbish that Leinster have just given Quins, don't expect the best seats in the house!

Are you suggesting the Aviva has good seats?

I'm in the south stand for our visit to you and I can't wait.

Leinster have 'given' Quins no tickets, those are the tickets Quins have requested. If they're rubbish, then thats your clubs decision to request rubbish. The lower bowl of the Aviva sits 19,000 people - will more than 500 travel from London? They could pretty much be totally accomodated in any of the seat categories without any issues - but I would suggest that Quins decided to forsake location for a particular price point.

English clubs are absolutely hopeless at managing their ticketing entitlements in Europe. Our ticket officer will end up doing most of Quins ticketing for them, it happens every year with every English club.

No offence meant! Quins has gone backwards with ticketing over the last few years and by all accounts does seem to be only bothered by what happens at the Stoop. Wherever we all end up, I'm sure we'll all be made to feel welcome and have a great weekend; I'm looking forward to it immensely :D

As to how many will make the journey over, I have no idea. The supporters club is putting on a coach (yes, really, London to Dublin in December, eek!) but I am aware that a number of people (including me) will take the slightly easier (and much quicker!) option of flying. There tends to be better support when we go somewhere we've not been before, it's just before Christmas and we seem to be playing a bit better, so that will also boost numbers a bit.

Going back to the game at the stoop, we haven't sold out yet this season, but it wouldn't surprise me if we did sell out this game, so if you haven't got a ticket or are thinking about coming, do it! And get one quickly...

Hi, does anyone have a spare ticket (or 2) for the game? I'm London based so can meet at the stoop or at a bar in Twickenham, whatever suits. Any pointers appreciated, thanks.

The Cabbage Patch in Twikkers is the classic game day pub - http://www.cabbagepatch.co.uk/

But there are probably better options if you are heading a bit further from the ground - the above might be better for before the game

The Sun Inn and The Orange Tree near Richmond station are being suggested, started a thread on this on the Quins forum.
