Over half an hour to get into Thomond Park...

[Jofspring]

I noticed the queue moves way quicker through t4 and there is nearly always a big queue at t2.

i got outside the stadium at 7:40 and there was huge ques for the ticket office they had to of missed 15mins or so of the game.

It is gone beyond a joke if their are still problems getting crowds of less than 3k into a ground for a soccer match. Security firms like others are short of work these days so they could well be just trying to make themselves look useful. However the club needs to be careful as would be fans could well be turned off going to matches if the hassel of gaining entry continues.

There was absolutely zero hassle at the Shamrock game.

I was in the ticket box when I left my post just at kick off there was no more than 20 people getting tickets.

Limerick people just like a moan.

A trickle of people up to about twenty past seven, about 100 tickets sold in the week.

Then everyone else turns up at the same time.

And complain when they have to que. :bulgy:

[Lim till i die]

Actually just reading back most people seem to be givin out about the turnstiles.

Fair enough. :-P

[legendz]

Most other grounds and games I go to, you can turn about 15 minutes before a game, get your ticket then and be in the ground in time for the game. It won't affect the die hards I'm sure but when lesser teams are in town, it'll make people think twice. I didn't mind turning up half an hour before the Rovers game. I doubt I'll have that enthusiasm when some fringe Leinster teams who are only in the shadow of Dublin clubs are in Thomond.

Jesus wept, talk about a mountain out of a molehill. Can't believe this thread still has legs.

It's crowded before kickoff - whatever on earth could the solution be?

Meant to post here last week. For the Pats game, greeted by friendly ticket sellers. Security firm but chap was pleasant enough. Stewards and guards within the ground a pleasure to deal with. Obvious presence but stood back and let people (some extremely drunk) enjoy themselves.

The whole experience was top notch.

This seems to be the general experience from the away support so far this season. Glad ye enjoyed yerselves. Wish some of the home fans would have as much fun.

Turned up outside Thomond Park 10 minutes before kick-off tonight and was in my seat in no time, no problems whatsoever. About 20% or there abouts of that attendance figure will be there on Tuesday but I'll probably need to be there 20-30 minutes before kick-off. Crazy stuff.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Relatedly, is anyone else still finding it impossible to book tickets on Ticketmaster? Just checking to see if its just me.

Any chance you'd give it a rest no?

How long have Munster been there? Did you count how many gates were open? Actually don't bother answering I don't want to know...

I won't. If I'm paying to turn up to games, as I am, I'll make all the comments I want about it.

A huge majority last night though were at the stadium up to an hour before kick off, most had pre bought tickets, every single turnstile in the stadium was open, they don't have to search people and they open up the exit doors when they see the queues building. It might be same ground but its not like for like on match day.

I still haven't had to wait more than a minute to get into the ground this season with my season ticket. I usually stroll in gate T4 around 7:30, sometimes a little after, with no queue infront of me.

You should vote with your feet legendz and take yourself down to Turners Cross in future.

[Jofspring]

Ticket office at Thomond park already open.

Having the same problem. Couldn't buy them online for the Rovers match either.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Very annoying.

[legendz]

Was outside Thomond about 25-30 minutes before kick-off again so had no problems getting in. Straight up to get ticket and straight through T3.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Only a light pat down from a bored looking steward against Shels. Guy with scanner didn't care. Nice to see that the staff there are getting more relaxed about letting fans in.

[Fr. Joe]

Went online there to try buy a couple of terrace tickets for tomorrow evenings game but lo and behold you couldnt buy terrace tickets on the ticketmaster website, just stand tickets, are the club trying to turn people off from going to the game or something, absolute joke.

[NeverFeltBetter]

I'd be fairly sure that's a Ticketmaster issue, not a club one.

[nigel-harps1954]

There's a good reason for them being known in circles as 'ticketba*tard"
