If the Racing Club Narbonnais does not yet know its opponent in the semi-finals, either Carcassonne or Albi, on Saturday May 10 (7 p.m.), in less than 48 a.m., the ticket office was taken by storm.
It is no longer a secret, the sports and friendship park has had the biggest crowds in national for two seasons now, if not three. Already last year, the Narbonnaise speaker hosted around 4,500 – 5,000 supporters on average. When more than 8,000 people had garnished the stands for the semi-finals against Carcassonne, on May 11, 2024. And the first window closed for (very) many years had been recorded during the access-match against Montauban on June 2.
4,000 tickets sold
Saturday evening, after the improved victory against Langon (61-31), and therefore the direct qualification in the National Semi-final, the Racing Club Narbonnais had immediately launched the ticket office for this long-awaited meeting on the banks of the Robine. The subscribers received an email very quickly to confirm their usual headquarters. When the general public could recover their precious sesame online or at the park shop.
While the ticket office has been opened for less than 48 a.m. on Monday at 6 p.m., the Orange and Noir club announced, 4,000 tickets have already found a taker. Another strong marker, if one still needed one, the huge fervor around Racing. At this rate, the sports and friendship park will quickly reach a record crowd. And to say, that this semi-final has not yet chosen its opposition. Certainly, if it is a seventh Aude derby in a year and a half, this figure could climb visibly. But there is no doubt that if Albi passes the Carcassonnais obstacle in a dam, Saturday May 3 at 3 p.m., Tarn supporters will make the trip and will take many places in the span of the stadium.
This nationwide semi-final in Narbonne is already boiling. The atmosphere will be there.
