Lads - a friend of mine got work off at last minute and is heading over with us on Friday. We are going rosslare - pembroke, no problem with that but the return on Monday 14.45 is booked out. Anyone able to help regards this?

Taking the train up to Holyhead and ferry from there would probably be cheapest but they could also get a flight from any number of airports.

For those of you that post back ticket after resale I assume you used the following address:

England Rugby 2015 Customer Service Team
Resale
PO Box 798
Manchester
M60 1WU

Did any of you use registered post? How did it work with the PO Box?

I used registered post to return them. I also emailed RWC website to ask about insuring tickets in case they were lost. They said if the tickets went astray somehow they would be refunded post tournament anyway.

Cheers for that.

Yeah, I was thinking it would be harsh to stiff people with the bill in that instance. I'd say the return postage thing is to discourage touting already resold tickets.

Question about the resale - if I put my Cat C for the Argies game up on the official website will I only get paid after I post the ticket back? Need the cash for the weekend (ticket is up on toutless if anyone is looking!)

You'll only get payment when they receive they receive the physical ticket. Waiting another 10 working days then for payment to your card provided

If anyone is looking for a last minute place to stay in Cardiff on Saturday night. I was originally supposed to stay with them but a friend got us a place with his relative free of charge. I have never met these people but they seemed nice on the phone. They said they'd include breakfast and a lift from the train station and into the match on Sunday morning. I know it's Gumtree but they were only looking for payment on arrival.

Or just take a chance that he can get on if ye turn up early and go to booking office

He is just going to have to blag his way in or hide in the boot. This weekend will be one for the ages!!

According to the site, yes.

Although there seems to be plenty of tickets for Saturday game now. I've had my Cat C's on sale since Monday evening with no luck.

Any stories regarding hipflasks in Millenium Stadium last week? Were there checks on the way in? Might need a bit of encouragement to get going early Sunday.

Only backpack/large bags were checked on the way in that I could see, and anyone carrying bottles of anything or food was taken off them. I had a handbag with me and they didn't want to check that, so I imagine if you have a hipflask on your person you should be grand!

Anyone going over from Shannon saturday morning and wants to share a taxi into Cardiff let me know. Also have cat b ticket for saturday and cat a for sunday for sale if anyone interested - face value naturally.

At the 2011 RWC match V Australia in Eden Park we almost got ejected from the stadium. What really got us was the speed of the incident. The tiny hip flask had barely touched our lips before we had 4-5 security guys on top of us.We were taken to the back of the stadium and made beg to be not kicked out of the ground. Eventually got away with it but the resounding feeling is Heineken have paid good money to fully harvest people once inside the ground and the IRB are enforcing this very strongly.

In terms of checks on the way in you'd have no problems getting a small flask in. I think they have eyes in the sky watching this stuff though so be careful.

I am doing the Park & Ride from "the wave" whatever that is on Sunday morning, it opens @9am and is 2.5miles from Millennium stadium with frequent buses. If its a nice morning and I am down early like I plan I might just walk around from there for breakfast etc.

Hello guys just looking for a bit of advice. Group of 6 going this weekend but 2 had to pull out. I relisted the other day and they were bought. Got the wife to post today but she never registered them. Very worried they won't arrive . What happens with refund if the tickets don't get there?
Thanks

Normal post is fine. Have done it twice that way myself. No problems.

Thanks just panicking as I gave them their money back already. If they don't arrive surely they still have to refund you.

No need to panic, worse case you'll be refunded after tournament ends. Got this from the rwc website when I asked same question.

"We would advise that tickets are sent back via secure post to ensure that we receive them, you will be refunded within 10 working days of us receiving the tickets back in our office. If you decide not to send the tickets back to us, then your refund will be processed when the tournament has ended."

Thanks that's a relieve I can enjoy the weekend now.

Anyone help me with the best way out of Cardiff to Cardiff airport on Sunday? Do the bus services still run as normal or should I get the train? I hear the queues at the stations can be crazy?How long should I give myself to get there?
