Am logging in with my supporters club number (before Jan 10th), and its not showing up the Munster match. Has anyone managed to enter the ballot?  Just wondering , based on my number, are they only showing the ballot to season ticket holders only and if so, when can supporter card holders enter the ballot?

Just logged on myself and Im only an Associate with the Saints and have no option to buy yet...

This was the question I had asked on earlier threads. Does everyone enter the ballot now from today to saturday, and then its picked out in order, with season ticket holders first, then assoc members etc. Or do non-season ticket members have to enter the ballot on another day and when is that?

Same boat lads. Do not see the option to enter the ballot.

Just e-mailed them. Waiting for response. Will let ye know as soon as I get it.

UPDATE NEWS:

Just got reply back from Saints ticket office

The ballot started today for season ticket holders only. For members and registered supporters who purchased membership before 22/1/10 the ballot will open 6/2/10.fficeffice" />>>

From the information I can get from the Saints site it appears the first round is open to Season Ticket holders only. This closes at 5.30 pm on Saturday February 6th, at the moment I am presuming all others can enter from this time.

Is this everyones understanding?

That is what I make of it.

It a trick he is trying to fool everyone so he can get a ticket.. Look
at his name

6th it is then

Yeah not clear if it works like Munster lottery entries that are staggered and what the opening times would be for subsequent rounds...

This ballot will open at 12 noon on Wednesday, January 27th and close at 5:30pm on Saturday, February 6th.

First phase - Season Ticket Holders only - drawn on Monday, February 8th. Entrants will be notified of the outcome via email on Wednesday, February 10th.

Second phase - (Open 6th Feb?) Associate Members and Registered Supporters who joined the club before Friday, January 22nd. Drawn on Monday, February 15th and successful entrants will be notified via email on Wednesday, February 17th.  (Close?)

Third phase - (Open Period of sale to all Season Ticket Holders, Associate Members and Registered Supporters on a first come, first served basis. There will also be a limit of one ticket per person.

In the event that there are still tickets left following this phase, they will go on general sale on Monday, February 22nd, again on a first come, first served basis.

Cant see why any confusion myself?

To ensure a fairness of allocation, the Saints has organised a ticket ballot for the game. This ballot will open at 12 noon on Wednesday, January 27th and close at 5:30pm on Saturday, February 6th (after the LV= Cup game against Leicester).

The first phase of the ticket ballot is for Season Ticket Holders only and will be drawn on Monday, February 8th. Entrants will be notified of the outcome via email on Wednesday, February 10th.

Entry for the ticket ballot is either via the online ticketing system or for personal callers to the Saints Ticket Office only. In both cases Season Ticket Holders will need their customer number for identification. Season Ticket Holders should note that the ballot will be completely random and entrants will all be treated equally, no matter when they apply.

The ticket allocation will be restricted to one ticket per person. However if a group of Season Ticket Holders wish to enter the ballot together they can do so via the 'Friends and Family' options of the online ticketing system (for full details of how to set up your 'Friends and Family' group click here).

Tickets will be allocated on a 'best first' basis. Ballot entrants are unable to choose either which price band of ticket they will receive, nor change it for a different area.

Entering the ballot online is very simple. Just log on to the 'Members' section of the online ticketing system, select the game, place the ticket into the shopping cart and select which Season Ticket Holders in your 'Friends and Family' group you are entering on behalf of.

All Season Ticket Holders who enter the ballot will be required to pay a £5 deposit. This is to ensure that all entrants are committed to purchasing the tickets they order and eliminates the possibility of wasted tickets. Should entrants be successful this £5 will be taken off the price of their ticket; unsuccessful entrants will be refunded their deposit.

Once Season Ticket Holders have entered the ballot and paid the deposit they will be obliged to pay the remaining balance on the ticket(s) that have been allocated.

Prices for tickets have been set by Munster Rugby at €50, €40 and €30. Taking exchange rates into consideration, the Saints will be selling tickets at £47, £37 and £28. Tickets will also be subject to a £1.50 booking fee and a £1.50 postage fee, which will be applied to the overall transaction. All tickets will be posted and are non-refundable.

Any remaining tickets after the first ballot will roll over into a second phase, this time open to Associate Members and Registered Supporters who joined the club before Friday, January 22nd. This phase will follow exactly the same rules as the first.

The second phase of the ballot will be drawn on Monday, February 15th and successful entrants will be notified via email on Wednesday, February 17th.

The third phase of the ticket sale will be a period of sale to all Season Ticket Holders, Associate Members and Registered Supporters on a first come, first served basis. There will also be a limit of one ticket per person.

In the event that there are still tickets left following this phase, they will go on general sale on Monday, February 22nd, again on a first come, first served basis.

It's when the subsequent ballots are opened that is not clear

Edit:  Assume opening at close of previous I suppose...

In fairness, the confusion was caused by them not specifying when you should enter for the second phase.  As is often the case with the MRSC, it could have necessary to enter your name for the ballot before the first phase in case it reached the second phase.

I, for one, appreciate the clarification sought and provided above.  Cheers.

Console yourself for the next 10 days by entering the ballot for England v Ireland tickets instead

Meant to post on this the other night.  Has anyone entered that ballot?  I couldn't find any details of it on the website, how many tickets etc.

The 3rd phase is puzzling to me. Does this mean that it is possible to buy a second ticket during this process ?

Log into your account and go to purchase "tickets", basically this enters you into the ballot and it doesn't cost anything, worth a punt....

So glad I spent 6 quid on this now.

In case there was any doubt it's def not open now so presume
17:30. The longer the wait the more likely I am to forget to
enter.......

what makes you think its at 17:30? I'am sitting in airport for a 12 flight that takes 9 hours. Does anyone know what time the ballot opens as I'd love to get in there before my flight.
