Rugby World Cup Tickets on sale on the 15th

So did anyone figure out a secret on how to get through the queue quick the last day or is it just enter at 5 o clock and see what happens??

There's always going to be tickets floating around on the day. The follow my team pack's major advantage is locking in the QF no matter where we land. Means a repeat of 2019 won't happen with the shifting and ticketswaps were going on til just before kick off for some.

If I wasn't getting a FMT I would grab a city pack for St Denis. If you decide to go to the lesser games in our group you'll have no issue picking up tickets in the lead up to it or on the morning of.

Putting all your resources into the QF and SF moving forward now is also a better way to go about it as they're always harder to come by naturally. That being said, it's nice to be sorted over 2 years out from the tournament. Never before has it been like this for me and some in my group.

How does this work in practice (I've not been to a WC before)? Are the tickets printable PDFs? I've 2x FMT packs, 4 games plus QF, so can I print out 10 individual tickets before we travel, and/or email them on to someone?

As it is, knowing I've got this coming 30 months away, I can possibly save up enough leave to take a nice long extended holiday, but it's probable my partner won't be able to. So I'm wondering how easy it is in practice to swap "their" ticket to someone else if a friend is coming over for a weekend, or if I want to sell on a ticket (at face value).

A load of us on a WhatsApp all trying to get them on Monday. Some of us got the 25% - 30% - 35% - 15% - 20% thing and eventually did get in (in my case after about 45 minutes); others got the "site is busy" message and never even got on to a queue until what they wanted was sold out. It seemed completely random.

Bringing a family of two adults and two kids means the only way that is going to happen is picking up one of these packs.

Yep that was me in the first sale - luckily got an Ireland pack.

No idea. There was 5 of us online the last day trying to get tickets and none of us got in until they were all gone. Will try again today but not very optimistic seeing as there could be 400,000 people trying to get 300,000 available tickets but each person could be looking for 2-4 packs each.

how much was the Ireland pack


I was hoping for the St Denis city pack but would take the team pack as a back up. The first 2 matches should be easy to shift

I found the city packs easier to get than the ireland ones. So potentially if you really wanted to ensure you get the ireland games, you could try get the bordeaux and paris city packs.

it was the city pack for Paris I wasted 5 hours of my life trying to get on Monday!

Got 4 of the cat 3 Ireland packs and that was €1240

We'll do the last 2 games as a family and flick whatever ones we don't use for games 1 and 2, there will be an official resale portal avaliable next year.

Cat 4s had gone by the time i got in about noon the other day.

They say there are 200,000 tickets being released today - that's only 50k packs, good luck to those trying.

I can see a few people with advice on reddit /r/RugbyUnion and on twitter searching for "rugby world cup tickets".

What worked well last time was to set up about 50 minutes beforehand, have a few different devices (computer, phone, tablet, other browsers), and to make sure you are on attente1 if you get pushed onto a supposedly non working server.

I'd heard of users having lots of login problems so from the beginning I've only used the "login with Google" option which has had zero problems. If your email is a Gmail then use this (or similar I think another option may have been Facebook).

Where can you log in prior to sale? I just get sent to a generic page. Nothing in my email, etc.

Nice to be able to sit back and watch the feeding frenzy and panic, knowing you have your tickets already!
