TICKETS FOR THE RUGBY WORLD CUP 2015 – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Background
You may have read that the 500,000 tickets which are to be made available through RFU clubs to the rugby community will soon be on priority sale. Tickets will be sold directly to members nominated by this club and will be processed online through the RWC 2015 Ticketing System.
We now know how many tickets have been made available to our Club:
- We have a very small allocation for each of the ten games being played at Twickenham, including the Final. (Only 6 tickets per game so do not get your hopes up too high!)
- We have a somewhat larger potential allocation for the matches being played at other venues.
The club has decided that our tickets will be allocated on the same basis as we do for International Tickets.
All members who have paid their annual subscription for the season 2013/2014 are invited to apply under the process detailed below for an allocation. The Committee will then determine how and to whom the tickets should be distributed based on the key criterion of contribution to the club now and in the past.
Unless there is a very good reason otherwise, I would expect anyone applying for tickets to have applied for tickets to the 150th Jubilee Dinner/Dance on 9th May. Tickets are still available from Stan Coats.
Warning Notice
These tickets are for personal use only and cannot be used for hospitality or sponsor programmes and corporate names will not be accepted by the ticket website. Any misuse will bring the club into disciplinary proceedings which could result in future ticket allocations for all international matches being reduced or cancelled altogether.
Process
On 6th May, the Club’s ticket organiser will enter online the names of our members who have been pre-allocated tickets for specific matches onto the system. There will be a maximum of two per member per match for Twickenham and four per member per match in the other stadia. Those members will then be sent an email from RWC 2015 inviting them to register on the ticketing website ahead of the tickets going on sale on 16th May.
On the 16th May the online ticket sale starts when those with an allocation can purchase their tickets. Tickets at the various prices will be sold on a first come first served basis, so it will be important to get online as early as possible on the 16th May to get your tickets at the choice of price. The club priority sale will close on 30th June and sales to members of the public will open in September.
Details of all the games being played and the stadia are available at this link
and see below a list of the games being played at Twickenham.
What you should do now and when
- Have a look at the Twickenham match list and the website for the other matches and decide which games you are interested in attending.
- Respond to me by email at with your request for an allocation (Remember two for each Twickenham match and four for each other match is the maximum) and for which games.
- To give the Committee due time to consider all requests we must receive your response by the 25th April 2014. If successful you will be notified by me by 1st May.
- Any questions should be directed to me.
Kind regards
Nick Alway
