That's ****, you have a lot of trust in a person you don't know to lodge money into their account.

Absolute scumbag. If I come across anything on the Scottish site I'll alert you.

On this. I have entered into a dialogue with someone online to purchase tickets from them for the game. Price seems reasonable. However, I am dubious about handing over money to a stranger online (for obvious reasons). They have told me that they have the tickets in hand. If tickets have not been sent out yet that sounds a bit suspicious right?

Could be... Unless clubs have them in hand? I don't know if all tickets get dispatched at the same time or not.

How did you first get in contact with this person?

I think the price being reasonable for a sold-out game could be a red flag. Not sure if people could print tickets at home or received them earlier. If you're meeting in person you could suss it out? Wouldn't pay in advance on promise of tickets being sent on..

Caranica

Some people have their tickets, I've seen them on my friends ' Facebook. Would be club tickets

Has anyone got any tips on how I could get some tickets to the Scotland game?

Clubs, schools etc will have their tickets. I was due to collect tickets for one of the games over the weekend

I dont see why it would be red flag.
Clubs, schools, provincial branches will have tickets already and could have distributed some already

Paying online in advance is a red flag.

Be very wary, if it sounds too good to be true. Can you drive to them? Or do PayPal and then raise a dispute if it’s a scam?

I have my tickets - got them via club.

I'd ask them to send a pic of the tickets together with something specific (proves they didn't google and find an image elsewhere). This should have name of club/school/etc printed on them, and at the very least you'd have a route to complain/persue them afterwards if they turn out to be dodge

Exclamation Marc

Meet them at their house or require that they walk you into the ground (if there are multiple tickets, ensure that one of the tickets work before you pay over). Or perhaps proof of address in another manner, essentially cover that you can report them to the guards easy enough or verify at the ground that they work.

I wouldn't say run a mile unless you can get no serious assurances as to the tickets like above. If I couldn't go to the game and had tickets, I'd probably sell my tickets to a genuine fan at a reasonable cost so the price isn't an automatic red flag, guy might be genuine.

Ah hopefully they have sent out England tickets then too. Would be a bit odd otherwise with France game not til 10th March

Yeah I guess face value is grand provided they're genuine, guess I meant if price seemed too reasonable!

MikeCork2009

Well they did say that they had gotten them via a club and are just asking for face value. They were happy to meet to exchange the tickets but they live really far away so that's not practical for me so they have agreed to post them. They have asked if I can transfer the money to their account so we both have records of payment and I have asked them to send me a photo of the tickets with a code word so I know they have them. I'm waiting on that now.

That's sounds credible. Prudent move with the codeword.
Was it on toutless that you encountered him/her? If so they might have a track record that you could gage from their previous posts.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd actually be suspicious of this. I managed to get tickets for the same match myself, and I know that if something happened and I couldn't go, I'd only have to ask some of the neighbours or put the word around the local pub about it, and I'd have people queueing up to take them from me at face value. I certainly wouldn't have to go advertising them online or engaging with people who live 'really far away'.

The thing is that they are in England, as am I, and I guess it would be harder for their neighbours etc. to head off to Dublin at short notice for an Ireland rugby match (and be willing to pay a fair chunk for tickets, flights and accom.) Whereas I was already heading to Dublin anyway and have free accommodation.

Ah, that makes a difference. I wouldn't be as suspicious now.....

There was another drop of singles for the England game on TM around 9 this morning. All seem to be gone now.

Well that photo of the tickets with the codeword never came so I guess it might have been a scam. It was on Gumtree that I found the guy. Hopefully this tactic of asking for a photo with a codeword might help others in the future avoid getting scammed.

When I’m searching for tickets for the England match I only seem to be able to look for 2 tickets. Any idea why I can’t look for single tickets?

The website changes when there are actually tickets available in a sales period, it lets you search for singles then.

If it defaults to two, then there's nothing available.

Also I had to buy my two this morning in separate transactions, it kept bombing out if I tried to buy two.

Ya it’s very strange. I only seem to have the option to search for two which obviously reduces whatever slim chance I have of getting sorted. No problem just searching for one on the app but it was handy to just have the tab on browser and refreshing that!

I noticed this morning that it automatically defaulted to 1 ticket when there were only singles available so you don't need to manually change it 1.

Don’t know how to put a screenshot up here but it’s definitely down as two for me. Such a pain as it was easier to refresh on the browser.

It doesn't make a difference. It has two as the default outside of a sales window.

If you keep refreshing and a sales window opens up, it defaults to one ticket.

You might get luck over there. Have you tried Facebook or Twitter? Maybe Scottish rugby supporters groups? Or Irish fans with spares

SRU sent an email yesterday to say all their three 6 Nations games are totally sold out now. I’d say there might be a few on sale around the ground on the day
