Champions Cup organisers have reduced the price of semi-final tickets ahead of Leinster’s Croke Park semi-final against Northampton Saints on May 5 – and supporters will be able to secure a Hill 16 ticket for just €18.

After criticism from Leinster about pricing policies for previous semi-finals held in the Aviva, EPCR have announced a €10 reduction on all ticket categories.

Premium tickets will be priced at €90, Category 1 at €75, Category 2 at €55, Category 3 at €38 and Category 4 at €18.

GAA supporters paid €20 for Hill 16 tickets for Sunday’s Leinster championship clash between Dublin and Meath and €25 for the League final against Derry; albeit neither of these were standalone fixtures.
