Leinster have confirmed that the capacity of the Aviva Stadium will remain at 27,000 for Friday's Champions Cup quarter-final clash with Leicester Tigers.
The province took the decision to reduce the numbers due to the six-day turnaround from last weekend's last 16 victory over Ulster, which housed a 52,000 sell-out.
Blues bosses had also left it open to increase numbers if the demand was there.

But as of this morning 23,000 tickets have been sold and the decision has now been made not to open the upper tiers due to the additional costs involved in having a full stadium opened up.
Leicester have taken approximately 500 tickets for their own supporters and returns are now on sale, and it is expected that the 27,000 tickets will sell out ahead of the 8pm kick-off.
The province say they are happy with the 27,000 capacity, which is 9,000 above what was initially planned for if the game went ahead at a sold-out RDS Arena.
Remaining tickets on leinsterrugby.ie starting at €25.
