RWC 2015 - Rugby World Cup 2015 Travel Plans

exiledelbows

Stratford's the most well-connected place in Zone 2 so anywhere should be fine. Check for hotels along the Central, Jubilee, DLR and North London Overground (the one that goes from Willesden Junction to Stratford) lines. For reasonably priced, hotels in the Docklands area and the City might be pretty cheap as it's the weekend, but there'd be no craic there. I'd recommend looking around West Hampstead/Kilburn/Brondesbury as there's good value and it's a bit more lively.

France and Italy tickets gone up again

Awesomeness

Ireland v france there at the minute. Tickets listed for italy as well but cant add them as usual

thomond2006

The crap euro really doesn't help at times like this. £250 tickets equals nearly €350.

Managed to get some cat D Romania tickets in my basket before realising I'm away that weekend. Damn it all.

Im based in London which makes it even more annoying. Couldn't get any Italy tickets either.

Theres Italy tickets available now, just bought 2, there was Cat A and C but A's are now all gone. There were France tickets too but gone now as well.

Finally got around to booking flights for Quarter final weekend....in and out of Cardiff, Friday night to Sunday night for €250. Not too bad when all said and done. (With FlyBe)

Sorted for two games.
the idea is to swap if we've the "wrong" QF which I believe is what people usually do in these situations.

Are you planning on just going to Cardiff and doing a swap? I have tickets for a QF and a SF, but like you say, they could be the 'wrong' ones.

Hey tommiejoie

As I say, like you I've a ticket to one QF in Cardiff. Games are 8pm Sat or 2pm Sunday. Whatever game Ireland are in we'll drive over from London the same day.

My buddy in London was at the last RWC in NZ and in his experience once you know how the games pan out the fans tend to find some way of doing swaps. Will be relying on that method at the time. All a bit vague for now I know but these things usually work themselves out in the end.

Booked my flights last month. Over to London on the Friday and back to Dublin on the Monday so I should knock a good long weekend away out of it.

Was originally faced with same dilemma after purchasing a ticket for sunday qf praying we top the group.
When tickets went on resale got lucky enough to get a ticket for the Saturday qf too. (Had been kicking myself that I hadn't just originally bought for both)
I'm flying in saturday lunchtime (bristol) and out Monday.
So now I'm going to both matches irrespective of the line up. (Ideally tho it'll be ireland v scotland sunday, having watched a classic heavyweight slugfest the night b4 between france and NZ!)

It won't be Scotland anyway, it'll be someone from Group C regardless, i.e., NZ, Argentina, Georgia, etc.

Italy and France Tickets up again

thomond2006

£315 for Cat A for England vs Fiji. :pac:

Are they actually going to fill Wembley for Ireland vs Romania at those prices?!

Edit: These were the prices for 2011 btw http://static.stuff.co.nz/files/rugby-world-cup-ticket-prices.pdf

From looking at that, the knock out stage prices for this years competition are comparable to the 2011 prices but they have seriously hiked up the prices for the group stage games.

Like you could get a top price Cat A ticket for Ireland v USA or Ireland v Russia for £47.50 in 2011 and cheapest Cat D ticket for Ireland v Canada or Ireland v Romania is £50. Something's not right there.

I'd say for the Canada and Romania games will be 3/4s full at a push considering the prices.

Finally got around to booking flight to cardiff for qf weekend. Going for the week Wed-Wed and staying with cousin in cardiff. Flights only cost e67 and with free accomodation and tickets already got all i need for week is spending money Love how this is shaping up

otterj

Anybody know of a place where I could leave luggage around Cardiff ? im staying in Swansea the Saturday and Sunday but my flight leaves early Monday morning, I was thinking about going straight to the Airport Sunday night instead but there doesn't seem to be any left luggage facilities in Cardiff

Super Sidious

A hotel should be able to help you out, it may or may not charge a fee, but I'm sure it will be so busy they probably won't ask if your staying in the hotel.

I posted a ticket for resale a few weeks back for the France - Canada game but the ticket never sold. Odd thing is when I look at available tickets, there are no tickets available for that game. So not sure why my ticket is not showing up to buyers. Anyone having similar issues?

I'm after withdrawing it and reposting the ticket for resale so waiting for it to be released now.

I know. I'm bringing my daughter to that game. 100 sterling for the two of us. It's a disgrace. Can't imagine Wembley will be even half full. I love the sport but it leaves a bad taste in the mouth being effectively gouged like this. France 2007 was great. Made two games and apart from the results (v France and v Argentina) it was brilliant and had the bonus of being affordable. This on the other hand....

Just booked 2 nights in Swansea for the Ireland France game! 500 total for 2 rooms between 4 people so not too bad! Now to book the transport. I'm thinking Rosslare to Fishgaurd is the best option.

Many people staying in Swansea? Hopefully there will be plenty of Irish there on the Saturday.

Tickets for France (CAT and the QF CAT C up now.

Super Sidious

I could only get 1 ticket into my basket... anyone have better luck?

In the faq it says they will be dispatched in summer 2015 and that they will contact us closer to the time.

Load of tickets came up about half an hour ago. I got 2 for the Italy game. Best way to get tickets is to be online every morning from 9am and keep f5 ing. If you have a job that lets you get away with that!!!

The confirmation email says re postage:

"Your tickets will be sent by registered mail after 1 July 2015. A Royal Mail / DHL tracking number will be emailed to you once they are on their way"

Awesomeness

Finally got my Italy ticket. That is me sorted for all matches now

millhousegirl

Lots of tickets for sale this morning people.
