Got my Argentina tickets around a week and a half ago but the NZ tickets are yet to show up. Should I get onto Ticketmaster? Seems kinda strange that they didn't come around the same time.

Its says for my status for these tickets on Ticketmaster that they are in the process of dispatching them and not to contact them unless you haven't received your tickets until 1 week before the event!

Haven't received any of mine yet but not worried at all.

Jeez 67 for cat 4 is high when you'll likely have a pole or something in the way. wow! don't remember them being that expensive last time. Think I got my french ones for 80 and they were good seats iirc.

I'll have to wait for it to go online so.

Any idea when they'll be released to the clubs/supporter's club?

I paid €150 (face value) for category 3 in Twickenham last year so not that bad.

these prices are from the clubs invoices.... so youd want to be getting your speak in pretty quick

id be highly surprised if any go online (possibly some premium packages?)

the actual tickets wont be released until about 4 weeks prior, but the are usually all spoken for by then.

no idea re supporters club

They’re similar prices to what they charged for the England game in 2017. Tickets for the France game were a bit less expensive IIRC.

My tickets only arrived this morning. I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.

I think they prefer to be called Polish.

Hi guys just wondering what are the chances of this years six nation tickets going on general sale to the public as im only an associate member of my club .
I was looking at maybe the france game , also has anyone bought tickets from the french federation for a irish home game

Highly unlikely unfortunately. The England and France games generally don't make public sale.

USA tickets arrived in D18 today.

Grand, hopefully I'll have mine.

I'm still waiting for Ticketmaster to get back to me on the damaged barcodes on my tickets.

The amount of tickets the away teams get is usually pretty paltry. Getting tickets officially from another union is incredibly difficult.

Supporters club might be your best bet.

It's 50 quid or so and gives you the *chance* to get tickets. You need a bit of luck but I've found you need a lot less luck with the supporters club than with any other options available.

I've been pretty successful with supporters club in the past

USA tickets arrived last week, Some NZ tickets arrived this week.

They won't really entertain calls unless it's less than a week out so I wouldn't bother.

Only letting you know as I had to call recently about a U2 order and it took me 58 calls to get through to an operator over the course of an hour.

It's brutal trying to get someone.

Got a three match pack here. They only arrived today. That’s probably the latest I’ve ever got AI tickets.

I got the double header for 135. How much was the 3 games on package?

If I join the supporters club now would I be eligible for the pre-sale for both the 6N and WC warm up games? I’ve exams the week after the England game so the only 6N game I’ll be able go to even if I get a ticket would be the French game. I think I’ll join the supporters club though if I’ll have access to the pre-sale for the warm up matches.

Been trying a week now to contact them, it’s so annoying.

You might be better off contacting the sports office for the season tickets and getting them to transfer you.

I've done that before. At least they can put you on hold, the main line doesn't.

Was looking last night, there's some tickets for Ireland v NZ on secondary sites for ridiculous prices. Not sure those sellers have the tickets in the first place, but do you reckon they'd come down to a reasonable price as the match comes closer?

You'd probably be better off wandering around Ballsbridge before the match chancing your arm. I'm thinking of doing it myself.

This is definitely the best approach. A friend picked up a ticket for Ireland v Wales earlier this year on Baggot Street the day of the game for 100 (probably 35 markup) so he could come with us whereas they were going for about 500+ on Viagogo etc.

Yeah, that's my plan anyway. See what the going rate is, I'd go €150 at a push if they were decent tickets.

Ah nice one! Yeah could be worth a try. I'm sure there'll be some fans with tickets for a buddy who can't make it on the day. I'd be wary of touts tbh but beggars can't be choosers I guess

Try the local bars on the walk up, anytime we've spares if someone drops out we always go to the barman and see if he knows if anyone is looking.

Just wondering about tickets for the USA match, I had heard it might be a bit of a "couldn't give them away" scenario...... but there don't appear to be any on sale anymore....

Anyone know how I might go about getting 2 (or more)? Just so happen to be in Dublin that weekend so it'd be nice to go

I think they sold out in the last few days. It's a bit unfortunate for you but to be honest, selling out in November is an incredible result for Irish rugby.

Ordinarily the damp squib game would have plenty of tickets even up until match day, so it's quite a pleasant surprise it sold out this time.

Synode

All games are sold out. Outside chance they might release a few more but ypu have to be lucky and watch ticket master like a hawk

Fully agree, very impressive really and can only be a good thing for Irish rugby - I won't be complaining about missing out coming this late looking for tickets - just the way it fell that I'll be in the city visiting family.

I might get lucky yet!

ETA - just realised I have an email from Connacht Rugby from a couple of hours ago..... fingers crossed!
A very small amount of tickets for the Autumn Internationals against Argentina and USA have become available. As a valued Season Ticket member we would like to offer you exclusive priority to these tickets. If you are interested in purchasing please complete the form below by 1.00pm tomorrow afternoon.

Commanchie

Ticketmaster wont issue more tickets. What was sold was what was given IRFU cut back to take from scalpers.

shaundolier

Some Argentina tickets on ticketmaster now.

Some Argentina tickets on ticketmaster at the moment

All Blacks tickets arrived this morning

I would never pay over the odds for a ticket and would rather watch in a pub than do so. I knw people want to be at the game at all costs but nah face value or nothing
