Very few of the cheap 5 euro kids' tix left for Pro12 final. Mostly either end and very near the front, there are some corner seats 10-12 rows back and decently high up still available. Got mine pretty much under the big screen where east and north stands meet as the north stand itself has a very shallow rise and the view isn't great.

Is it just me or are the tickets more expensive that last year, I can't remember.


Don't think so. We paid pretty much €50 last year and there are better seats than we had going for €50 now.
You're right about the early bird though. The Cat 2 seats are the only ones with a decent saving (€35 instead of €45)

Somewhere around 505 Row AA is decent value. €38.50 to be on half-way. Some people don't like being that high up of course, but I reckon those are quality seats.


Fair point! I'm proably going to end up going anyway so might as well bite the bullet!

Which side do they film from? Would be nice to site the Connacht contingent directly opposite. Just in case.

Any argument for buying tickets early and getting a bunch of us in the same section?
I mean that in a "sure it's only up the road we may as well go" kinda way, as opposed to a "sure aren't we always in it" sense.

Where else would you have put it? Scotland had it last year, it's probably too early to get a crowd at an Italian venue, and the only Welsh stadium big enough either wasn't interested in bidding or wasn't available as they're hosting the Champions League final the following week.

It goes out to tender so I'd guess the irfu or Leinster bid for it and got it. Not wanting to go to Scotland again so soon and the Welsh not submitting a bid. it's no surprise it's in the Aviva

Hopefully Italian rugby along with zebre or Treviso put a bid in for Rome next year

Back in Ireland again, I can feel but the Pro12 dropped the ball on this one!

Personally I like the idea of moving it between the countries involved and having it in Scotland last year seemed to work well.
