    Ordered my tickets for the Canada game on 31st March and they still haven't arrived. Status on the site still says "Purchased". Should I be worried?

    Nope!

    Tickets up again guys. Can't get any ticket into my basket though and I'm getting "an error occurred trying to add tickets to your basket." which is different to the usual, longer message explaining how tickets might be in other people's baskets etc...
    Anyone having same problem?

    Just to be clear...I've tried putting a CAT A ticket for the Canada match (of which there are oodles left) in my basket and I get that error message.

    OK.......first post in this thread I think. I am late to the party but I have booked flights to Liverpool Saturday morning 17th October for €38 return for the quarter final weekend in Cardiff (Ireland will be on either Saturday night or Sunday afternoon depending on results in group matches - assuming they do finish in top 2). Renting a campervan in Liverpool and driving to Cardiff, flying home from Liverpool Monday evening so I will be there for both matches anyway, whether I go to both or not I don't know. Problem now is leaving the campervan somewhere, does anyone know of anywhere made available for this? The usual campsite in Cardiff that everyone knows is booked solid for the last 8 months so that is out. Any ideas???? Rugby clubs etc.....

    Hey folks,

    I want to go to the Italy match but there are no tickets available. Reckon they will become available again on the RWC site?

    I was thinking of just going ahead and book flights and accommodation for the Saturday night. Risky? It'll hardly sellout though?

    Rang a few package companies but they only do daily trips or 2 nighters. Just want to stay the Saturday night ��

    Early morning I think, between 9 and 10. But they do seem to go up all the time.
    A quick glance at the site shows there is Cat A and B tickets for NZ Nam available at the moment.

    The problem you might come across is that the Italy game is the only decent Irish game actually in London so there could be a fair bit of demand. The stadium is smaller than Cardiff/Wembley as well.

    For the more popular games I think all that is being released now is resale tickets - they store up a couple of days worth of resale applications and list a bunch of them together. The first indication of the additional release today was when I got an email to say that tickets I listed the middle of last week had been sold. There doesn't seem to be much pattern though - the last bunch I got last week when I just happened to log in around 6.30pm before I left work.

    Just a heads for everyone.
    When I purchased my match tickets from RWC 2015, it said there is no charge for paying by debit card and guess what they still charged me even though I paid by debit card. I was meaning to get on to them for ages, looked for a contact email, there is no contact email only a UK number to ring. Called it the other week and was refunded the charge. So check your account and see if you were charged and if you paid by debit card, get on to them and get your money back.

    Still waiting for these tickets. Having them sent home to Ireland before they get forwarded on to me here in Switzerland. Going to two games the opening weekend so they'd want to get a move on ;)

    What charge specifically are you referring to and how much was it?

    What do people think are the chances of the prices coming down for the Romania game? Is it worth holding out until closer to the time?

    There'll be no price changes.
    Its possible that in the background the A,B,C,D zones may change pushing more seats towards the cheaper categories, but no way will they go for the embarrassment of publicly reducing prices (not to mention how much it would annoy earlier purchasers).

    I hope not, I have a Cat C ticket for the Romania game for resale for a friend who can't go (doesn't help that it's a single ticket) and if they go creating more C tickets then mine could be sitting idle without selling.

    Just a heads up to those travelling to London for the Romania match. If you are flying into Stansted and getting the Stansted Express into London Liverpool Street, the 30 Day Advance return at £16 will double from today. So a nice saving! Same goes for the Italy match in a weeks time. Book early!!

    Good tip, I was going to go through Stansted and get that transfer but flying from Edinburgh meant I could get to London City airport for roughly the same.

    we are flying into London Luton Airport for the Romania game, and we are staying in the Euston/kIngs cross area. Would we need to pre purchase train/bus tickets to get from the airport into the centre of London?

    You might save a few quid buying now but it's not necessary. The Thameslink service between the airport and the city is pretty regular and will drop you at St Pancras.

    Absolutely do not get the Gatwick Express unless you're in a serious hurry. Much cheaper to go via London Bridge.

    It's not even that much faster to get it these days - the fastest Southern (non-Gatwick Express) trains get to Victoria in 37-40 minutes, and it's often more convenient depending on your onward connections to get the Thameslink train to St Pancras or London Bridge anyway.
