**Please Read** Match Tickets

Lord Trollington

Would someone like to explain to me what the restricted view and ordinary tickets are on the IRFU website for the Autumn internationals?

http://www.irishrugby.ie/tickets/ticketsales.php

What do they mean by restricted view

connundrum

Behind a post, or with a screen in front of you.

I remember getting tickets for the missus for Take That in Croker which were described as restricted view - she said she's a perfect view, the only thing was a stall partially blocked the way.

I paid full price for tickets in Croker up in the corner of the Canal End and Hogan Stand - only to be stuck behind the bleedin screen. Had to nearly lie down to see anything.

Pot luck I reckon, could be not too bad or could be shite.

I'm not affiliated with any club but would like to go to an Ireland game in the Autumn series.

How could I go about getting one? I hear they can't get rid of them but where do they sell them if not through the clubs?

Thanks.

duckysauce

there's a link two posts up.

heya

anyone think there's any chance that tickets for the AB match only will be on sale, or is it the only definate sell-out?

i'd love to take my wife to see it, but can't afford to shell out the best part of 400 for a two match package....

pinkheels88

Anyone know if tickets are still available anywhere for Munster vs Ospreys Dec 12th Thomond Park??

stepbar

Anyone selling a ticket for today's match ? I might be interested if the price is right.

Hey lads,

what's the best way to get tickets for either of these two games?

I found tickets on the internet at outrageous prices (not less than 250£ for a single ticket!!)

is that the only way?

Cheers

You gotta talk to a local club. That's how international tickets are sold, essentially. Don't pay that stupid price - they're just touting.

thanks for that, but am I supposed to be a club member before I can buy?

Usually, but if you had walked in off the street to most clubs and asked for a ticket to one of the autumn internationals, you would have had your hand bitten off. I assume that France and England 6 nations tickets will be harder to come by though, but go in and talk to them.

The idea of selling international tickets through clubs is that it helps grow the grass roots following. Normally members get involved and help out somehow, by playing or by working on something.

If you know someone in a club, they can help. Otherwise, if you wait until closer the time,tickets will turn up.

Lord Trollington

Lads will there be tickets available on the day for the Leinster v Clermont game?

Ticketmaster are the biggest shower of cowboys.

davidpfitz

Does anyone know where to get tickets for the away Racing game (against Leinster in Paris)? Been trying to find out... but no luck!!

Thanks,
D.

Sheep Shagger

Tickets are currently on sale to Leinster season ticket holders at the moment, think Racing may have also started selling them on their own website also.

Spud83

Anyone know when or if 6 nations tickets will make it to the supporters club.

There'll be news in the next couple of weeks and it will be posted on website and sent to mailing list of members.

LandoCalrissian

I am not attached to any club but I am looking for tickets for 6N away in Cardiff any ideas on how best to source some tickets???

mr magu

Would there be available tickets outside the grounds for the Italian match in Rome?

Sheep Shagger

Normally Yes.

RuggieBear

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED BUY OR SELL TICKETS ON THE RUGBY FORUM.


Please do not offer to sell or offer to buy tickets on the rugby forum. These posts will potentially result in a ban.

Brenireland

I just wonder,will tickets for the home games be made available through ticketmaster at all?

duckysauce

nope they are the two biggest matches so it will sell out no problem

Brenireland

so no luck with ticket master,maybe a local club.

kensutz

Clubs tend to only deal with their members so unless you are a member of a club, you will find it hard to get any ticket.

chris85

ok so thinking of heading over for the game. Anyone know where can get a couple of tickets for the game.

Not a club member so cant get them through that avenue.

Also if some people some spare feel free to send me a PM or if they can secure me a ticket through their club i would be grateful.

Noffles

Good luck with getting a couple, have had no luck this year of getting any for the Millennium... none went out to the general public..

Lord Trollington

Anyone know where i would get 2 tickets for the Ireland v France game?

OldRio

Just checking if anybody has recieved their Scotland v Ireland tickets from the SRFU. Starting to worry a little. Paid for them in December.

Check your confirm but they don't normally post them to addresses outside of the UK, you need to collect from the ticket office at Murrayfield. Am fully expecting to have to do that this year (Like every other year). The SRU don't post any tickets abroad (even ML tickets!)

OldRio

Thanks for that.
Just checked my email. I'll pick them up on the Saturday before the drink.

vkid

Not sure if this is the right thread but just got an email offering 6 nations tickets. Check the prices (per ticket) of the Ire v England game

http://www.getmein.com/tickets/six-nations-ireland-v-england-tickets/dublin-176400.html

How is this happening?

Sheep Shagger

Get me in are a subsidiary of Ticketmaster.

clubs (both in England but probably more in Ireland) who are struggling to financially sell some or all of their tickets at higher than face value to raise cash. Getmein apply their margin and that's how you to the prices being asked on the website.

It's well documented and has been happening for years....sad but true.

Because firstly, people are greedy/desperate/opportunistic/scalpers I]delete where appropriate[/I and secondly, it technically is not illegal.

Where possible and if caught tickets such as Irish Rugby Supporters Club allocated, if being hocked above face value will be nullified without rebate and memberships cancelled.

One other thing to remember re.scalpers is that they most likely are not yet in possession of the actual ticket per se but speculate ahead of issue.
If you buy off a scalper then expect to be burned in one or more ways.

vkid

Suppose i am just completely shocked at the price per ticket..400+Stg.
Thats 5/600Eu per ticket.

I know it can't be fully stopped but this is a joke by anyones standards especially if they are a subsidiary of ticketmaster which the IRFU use for some games. Surely if thats the case the IRFU can and should have some influence here?

connundrum

Just saw the email:

Returned Tickets On Sale
For immediate release: Thursday 3rd March 2011
Issued on behalf of The Irish Rugby Football Union

A very limited number of tickets for the RBS 6 Nations clash against England in Aviva Stadium on March 19th have been returned to the Supporters Club.

Tickets will go on sale at 3:15 pm today March 3rd. Please note tickets will sell out fast.

Any member who has already purchased tickets for this year's RBS 6 Nations through the Supporters Club will not be able to purchase further tickets. This is to ensure that those members who missed out in the first sale have another opportunity to purchase.

Looking to buy two tickets for Munster v Leinster at Thomond Park. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful.

What about this guy?

Selling 10yr Ticket and bizarrely hasn't obscured his name in pic of tickets.

Also I'd be wary of this seller offering 10 tickets at relatively low prices

they went on sale today to season ticket holders and supporters club members.

[Jackass]

Roll up, Roll up, Leinster quarter final tickets available from Leicester returns, from E30 in upper tier on halfway line! (all be it at very back, but still great view).

Leinster season tickets also going on sale.

Check out ticket section on Leinsterrugby.ie

http://www.leinsterrugby.ie/newsroom/7740.php

Season tickets (get in early, sold out last season and are on sale early for next season and will sell out again). Must join the waiting list for tickets if you are not already a season ticket holder - get in early and you'll pick up season tickets from non-renewals

Seems only section 523 of East Upper has any really decent seats left.

Sitting way up the back, much of the spectacle, garryowens etc can be obscured.

If you hadn't spotted the error, I'd frankly be disappointed in you.
