There's just under 50 days to go before the Heineken Cup quarter-finals when Cardiff Blues play defending champions, Leinster Rugby, at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, 7 April.
It is anticipated that almost 50,000 will pack the Aviva Stadium for the match which not surprisingly, is in stark contrast to the last time the two clubs met in the knock-out stage during the tournament’s inaugural season in 1995/96.
On that occasion at Lansdowne Road, Cardiff defeated Leinster 23-15 in front of a crowd of just over 7,000.
Cardiff Blues have now received their ticket allocation for the match which goes on sale today at 4pm.

Adult: £27 and £45

Supporters must collect their pre booked tickets before the day of the match from Cardiff City Stadium Ticket Office. Any tickets that have not been collected by the day of the game will not be taken over to Ireland.
