Any sign of this ever coming back?
I remember when LR moved to the new Ticketmaster site/account management, they suggested that ticket exchange functionality would come along down the line..
No. It doesn't make sense at current median attendance.
Why would they not prefer you to buy tickets? Why would people rely on it when most people just go straight to the site and tickets don't get picked up.
Fairly short sighted if that is the case.
Firstly, from a commercial perspective, its free money for old rope for Leinster.
They get to sell a seat twice, albeit the second time around only getting a fractional cut, either way free money.
Secondly, they could sell better seats, rather than the excess capacity in the North/South Stands, especially in the dog days of winter where a parent might prefer the protection from the elements!
Thirdly, they should have this facility in place now, rather than launching it last minute when they really need it.
Think bigger Champions Cup games, Inter-Pros etc.
Fourthly, it was a great facility for season ticket holders to off-load tickets to matches they couldn't attend/give away.
Would Leinster not want bums on seats, whats the alternative here for season ticket holders? do they print out spare tickets and attach them to the flags on Anglesea Road?
Finally, some people just hate Ticketmaster and dealing with them and their service charges etc..
