EPCR have set their prices for Leinster’s Champions Cup semi-final against Northampton at Croke Park on average at €10 lower than was the case for the clash between Leinster and Toulouse at the same juncture at the Aviva Stadium last season.

The average price for a ticket for last year’s semi-final, which drew an attendance some way short of capacity at 46,823, was €49, whereas for the Northampton game at Croke Park at an average of €39.

Premium tickets for the game on Saturday, May 4th are priced at €90, Category 1 at €75, Category 2 at €55, Category 3 at €38 and Category 4 at €18. The latter encompasses the Hill 16, and compares with the €20 for tickets there at Sunday’s Camogie and Leinster Championship triple header, which was crowned off by the Dublin-Meath Leinster championship meeting, and the €25 charged for the recent National League final double header.

Leinster beat La Rochelle 40-19 on Saturday to progress to the last four. Leinster’s 12,500 season ticket holders will have first option to buy tickets on Thursday and tickets will go in public sale from Friday at 10am.
