Stade Francais Tickets

As I know that some supporters don't necessarily read the message board, I make no apologies for repeating news from the club regarding the Stade Francais tickets.
Mark Smith sent me this press release earlier, and I thought that even though it's on the offy site, it's worth repeating here to make sure that everyone knows the ticket situation.
"Newcastle Falcons have urged supporters to get in quick to book their tickets for the Heineken Cup quarter final against Stade Francais in Paris on Saturday April 2, after the news that the French club have sold almost all of their tickets.
The Falcons have sold around 1,500 of their 3,000 allocation, but as Stade Francais have sold nearly all of their tickets for the 44,000-seater Parc des Princes, Newcastle will return around 1,000 unsold tickets at the end of this week.
The club will retain around 500 tickets after this date to satisfy late demand, although the absolute cut-off point for buying any remaining seats has been confirmed as Thursday March 24, at which point all unsold tickets must be sent back to Stade Francais for general sale.
Falcons commercial director, Mick Hogan, said: “We expect a great travelling support in Paris, but the message is that you have to act quickly if you want to make sure of your place in the stadium.”
