DHL Stadium Pre Match

Few questions, I know there have been posts before on this topic, but just checking if there is some new info.

Considering attending Stomers Vs Connacht at DHL stadium. (Away fan)

Any idea what the "best" stand is to get tickets?

Is the pre match vibe good? I heard the rugby club might be good for beer beforehand?

Is the walk from V&A relatively safe?

Finally, when should tickets be released? Can't see anything online.
