There was a heated debate at the most recent Waterford County Board meeting over the procedure to distribute tickets for the Munster SHC round robin series.

The Munster Council have informed county boards that tickets would be made available through retail and online outlets.

Waterford chairman Pat Flynn agreed with the structure as he stated that it would be impossible for clubs to meet the demand of allocating tickets for four championship games in as many weeks.

Nonetheless, delegates from Waterford clubs were vocal in their disagreement over the tickets and they stressed that it wasn't fair on paid up club members.

The fact that the tickets were in the public domain meant that people who had no affiliation to clubs or were paid up members could get tickets, while a person that was a member and indeed active in a club may not get a ticket.

Delegates added that with no guarantee of tickets, club membership may decline meaning in a loss of revenue.

Flynn concluded by stating that a small number of tickets could be allocated to clubs on a no-return basis.
