Third time queuing, first time getting into the system. Almost every package sold out, those that aren't showing as sold out don't add to cart. 3 match packages showing as available with only 2 games not sold out. Tickets available on second hand websites at 3 times the price though.

Total joke of a system.

That is appalling. Fans just getting stiffed by ticket tout agencies. There should be mechanisms in place to ensure as many tickets as possible get directly into the hands of real fans.

I got in early via Gullivers for semi-final tickets when they came on sale
May be worth a try?

Yeah it looks like that might be the best way. Had been hoping to sort my own travel on cost grounds.

Gullivers looks like the best option unless anyone can do better?

£550 for a minnow pool game is steep even if it includes a hotel though.

...found some suspect tout sites based abroad selling tickets I am sure they don't actually have.

My tickets are match and hotel only. Will book Eurostar when the 2023 timetable is publisshed
My son booked via Gullivers for England match in Nice got hotels and a charter flight from Stansted which seemed reasonable for a long weekend in south of FRance

Yes, had a few mates who sat for hours last night only to find nothing available.

Are the pubs open again in Scotland?

It's a bigger clusterf**k than 2007. Looks like I won't be going either: I'm not paying touts a penny.

In 2015 tickets became available really close to the actual match dates. I'm assuming the same this time.

Thinking about it, no way am I paying for something 2 years in advance.

If I can buy tickets in April 2023 then I will buy some.

I could understand when it was being held far afield and people want certainty for booking planes/hotels etc.

next phase on September 28

Don't worry even the FFR members that were supposed to have a coupe-file have been very frustrated.

It's somehow worse than the last time which is some effort indeed.

Not sure I can be bothered to get my hopes up. I really, really want to go but I'm not paying tout prices.

I already gave up and I'm pretty well connected [/Globus].

…and they’re back on sale.
Got both my laptops in the queue, when I reached 99% it goes straight to ‘you missed your turn’, and repeat. Don’t think I’ve actually got in once yet, and yet I see plenty of tickets from touts already up. Farcical

Got 4 quarter final tickets for Paris Saturday & Sunday and 2 Ireland vs Scotland tickets.

That's what most people get (I can't be bothered).

Yup. I gave up after the 1st tranche attempt proved the system was going to be at least as sh*t as it was last time around.

I did get on yesterday, again most of the city packs showing as available were in fact unavailable as you needed to select three games and only two weren't sold out. Cracking system.

Could have got Category 1 tickets for the two potential England QFs but at 450 Euros per person per game opted out.

Even the restricted access (for FFR people sponsors ...) was a mess.

I'm still angry that it's not in South Africa. You guys would have laughed all the way to the bank, while drinking Castle, having a braai and visiting all the game farms.

Next chance tomorrow at 6 pm

Today was a miraculous day and I managed to feck up...

Got in easily, and, believing for some reason that the tickets came in pairs for each game, i initially only bought one semi final pack and one final pack.

When I realized my mistake, I tried to log back on, was into the site immediately and bought 2 other semi final packs.

Not believing my luck, I tried the final pack again and... they told me I could not buy more than 4 packs....


So, I France plays in the final, I'll be sitting on my own in the stadium.

Another attempt with three devices... no dice.

Hi, Looking for tickets for friends.
Ireland vs Scotland and/or South Africa vs Ireland in Paris.
I know it's a long shot but then again, you never know.
Cheers

Edit: also looking for 4 tickets to one of the All Blacks matches in Lyon.
