Heineken cup Racing v Munster cheap tickets

[rebelyellow]

How are we getting there? Those Aer Lingus effers have made Cork to CDG unaffordable.

Theres no cheap way to get there, from Cork you could try flying aer lingus to Brussels and getting the train down (1hr 20mins), or fly to London with AL or RY and getting the TGV straight to Paris. Both options around €80 minimum, plus airport to city connections. Getting back is dearer, especially if you want to spend a few hours in Paris on Sunday, TGV and flight from London is €100 minimum. Ryanair from Dublin isnt a whole lot cheaper. I did see a cheap flight from Shannon to Nantes on Friday morning if thats any use.

I plan to drive to Dublin on the Wednesday before the game and do sail & rail to London. I will spend the night there and head to Paris on the Thursday by Eurostar. I will stay in Paris for 3 or 4 nights and then do the return journey over 2 days.

Depends on where you stay. Get somewhere near gare de nord, then absolutely. I would advise somewhere along that rer line from cdg.

As a recommendation pre match try terminus nord opposite gare de nord. Good brasserie with best fish soup I have ever tasted.

What's the best area to stay in Paris. With HCup Final I stayed near bastille and went to a nearby English pub which was good fun.

Bloody Tapatalk. I was trying to reply and said thanks instead.

Depends on what you want really. To be close to the nightlife or to pay less for a good hotel.

Most of the central Parisian hotels are expensive, overpriced rip offs at weekends. I've honestly never stayed in one that was less than 120 a night that Id call "good".

We usually stay in La Defense, which is the business district. Because of where it is, you can get a great 4 star for about 100 a night - and sometimes less. It's on the fast RER so its about 15 mins from "town".

In saying that, my wife has booked the Novotel by Gare du Lyon this time. It looks pretty nice, but its a 3 star, and was a bit more expensive at stg 130 per night ...

[Chrizzzie]

I'm going low budget and will go for a Hostel. There are actually several ones so would like to be close to the "action".

[thomond2006]

If you're free Friday and Monday, flying Shannon to Nantes return on Ryanair and getting trains to/from Paris is a good option.

The train prices do increase though and the Paris station you come to (Paris Montparnasse) is quite far from Saint Denis and Stade de France.

he flights I booked came to €132 return for 3 people, flying out in the morning on Friday and coming back early Monday evening .

(€16 fare x 3 + €6 booking fee x 3) + (€16 fare x 3 + €6 booking fee x 3)

Nantes is a very nice city and definitely worth a day visit.

When was the last time Munster played in France and what's the place people went after the cancelled 6n game to drink there sorrow?

[kermit]

When was the last time Munster played in France

About 3 weeks ago against La Rochelle. Last competitive one was Castres last season.

[Chrizzzie]

sorry meant Paris

[Chrizzzie]

Only three weeks left until the trip. Very much looking forward to that!

I was in Paris in 2010 during the HCup Final and remember three Irish bars in close proximity near Moulin Rouge. (Which is distinctively painted in Munster red ) Also opposite to these bars is one of Paris biggest Rugby stores for those who would like to do some shopping. (Who doesn't want the pink Stade shirt?)

Best bar imo was O'Sullivans although prices where quite steep however we might be able to negotiate happy hour prices.

We belatedly decided to make the trip, reasonable flights ex Dublin and will sort a reasonable hotel off the beaten track. Now to buy the tickets - where in the stadium are most people sitting?

As we are in the midst of recession some of us bought €5 tickets from Racing Metro.

[Eastender]

You won't be on your own there,

[Paddytheman]

You'll be amongst your own there

[The Last Stand]

Will the stadium sell out? Hope so as it will be a great atmosphere.

Thought I wasn't going to be able to get there but something at work changed so short term organisation of the trip unfortunately. I#ll try LLCool's tip even if Dump is scathing about it...

[Cill na Martra]

Just wanted to let everyone know francebillet.com put tickets on sale this morning for the Racing game in stade de France including very decent seats at €5 (limited amount) and €15. Already got mine. Enjoy!!

Eph.

Bought ome of these tickets and it says on the email to "collect in store". What store? Do tehy mean the stadium? Would hate to get there and find out we can't get in. Anyone enlightened on this point?

[The Last Stand]

Think you may have to collect at fnac or Virgin in Paris. Look at page 1 or 2 where it was discussed.

NOT TO THE STADIUM ! Be careful they won't give you nothing there !

That depends where you'll be close to : http://www.francebillet.com/listePoi...to.do?_lang=en
Supermarkets Carrefour or Casino or Virgin stores or Fnacs, etc....

Don't forget your receipe and an ID because if you don't want any problem : the one who paid it online (named on the credit card) is the one who can get the tickets at store.
