Edinburgh is going to very busy that weekend with not only the record-breaking Guinness PRO12 Final crowd in town but also the many thousands of runners taking part in the city's marathon the following day. The best advice is to get to the stadium early on Saturday - there's lots to do at BT Murrayfield before the match!
WEST FAN VILLAGE
The popular fan village is situated behind the West Stand and opens at 2.30pm. As well as food and drink and rugby skills games you'll be able to watch the Aviva Premiership Final (Saracens v Exeter) on a big screen, kicking off at 3pm. The ever-popular Guinness Inflatable Pint is located in this area, with the Guinness Travelling Band setting the tone for the big game ahead with some pre-match entertainment. The West Fan Village can be accessed via Gate B off Roseburn Street and via Gate D off Riversdale Crescent and behind the Ice Rink.
COLLECTING TICKETS
If you are collecting your tickets they will be held for collection at the Scottish Rugby Ticket Centre, Gate A, BT Murrayfield. The Ticket Centre will be open from 10am until 8pm during the week prior to the final. If you are collecting on match day, the ticket centre will be open from 10am until half-time. We do strongly recommend that you collect your tickets no later than 2 hours prior to kick-off to avoid queues. Tickets must be collected by the cardholder. The card used to make the purchase must be presented at time of collection.

ACCOMMODATION
For the Guinness PRO12 Final we have, in conjunction with the SRU & Celtic Rugby, blocked off a limited number of hotel rooms at three Travelodge properties in Edinburgh. Most hotels in Edinburgh will be fully booked for this date (if they are not already) as the marathon is on the same weekend in addition to two conferences. Prices shown below at the Travelodges are per room regardless of one or two persons sharing.
For any enquiries out with the offering please email: rugby@alba-travel.com

If your friends are feeling a bit envious of you coming along to the Guinness PRO12 Final and want to buy tickets, you can let them know they are still available. However, the advice is buy them quickly - there will be a rush for tickets! Also, remind them they should buy their tickets by next Friday (26 May) to avoid the matchday prices.
