Staff dont need a ticket. (ID card for stewards) and are not included in the 51,700 number. The total max licenced number is 53,000 and somthing. (51,700 seats+ staff) School tickets are still issued but are usually for the north stand are counted in the total.

mossy464 · 05-12-2018 04:40PM

Do I still have time to join the supporters club to be in with a chance to get 6N 2019 tickets? Or is it too late

adelcrowsmel · 05-12-2018 04:58PM

They usually close membership - so if the option is there to join then yes and if not then you are too late!

pc7 · 06-12-2018 03:25PM

Supporters Club will be giving opportunity to buy tickets if chosen in ballot, not open to ticket master free for all. Damn it! Know its gotten popular, I've been lucky every year and gotten tickets through it. Feel a bit robbed if I don't even get the chance to have ticket master piss me off!

Dear Member,

Every year we try to provide a fair method for you to access tickets for purchase, to Ireland’s home games.

This year, with demand at unprecedented levels and membership on the increase, we have decided that the fairest way is to run a ticket ballot – meaning every member will have an equal chance of being randomly chosen.

Successful members have the opportunity to buy tickets for their allocated fixture only. These tickets must be purchased as outlined below.

All memberships active as of October 1st 2018 will be eligible for, and entered into the draw for Ireland’s home games against England and France.

Ireland v France, Sunday 10th March 2019 at 15.00

The Ballot
Successful members will be drawn completely at random with members drawn for the England game first and then the France game. If you are drawn for the first match you will not be entered into the draw for the second game.

The tickets will be available to purchase from Tuesday, December 11th at 10.am. to Wednesday December 12th at 10 a.m. for members who are drawn by the random ballot. Successful Members who do not purchase tickets within the allotted time will lose the opportunity to purchase.

Members drawn from the ballot will be advised of which match they have been drawn for in the afternoon of December 10th and will be provided with a password and link to purchase two tickets

Please read the Terms & Conditions carefully as there will be no recourse to change once the draw is made.

Terms & Conditions
• Winning members will not be permitted to exchange fixture.

• A range of ticket categories, including single tickets will be available in the sale on a first come, first served basis, if you are successful in the ballot. We cannot guarantee that your seats will be together or that you will get a choice of category.

• There will be no exchange of price category. Tickets will be allocated randomly and there will be no exchange of ticket from price category won to that preferred.

• There will be no exchange of seats. Please note that seats may not be located together.

• Draw only applies to Irish Rugby Supporters Club members active as of October 1st 2018.

• There will only be one entry per membership.

• Sanctions will apply to anyone attempting to resell their ticket at a higher price either personally or by means of an internet sale.

• The IRFU’s decision in respect of any matter concerning this lottery shall be final and binding on all entrants. No correspondence will be entered into.

• The IRFU reserves the right to suspend or terminate the lottery or amend these terms and conditions at any time for any valid, technical or commercial reason.

In Summary

• Unprecedented levels of demand.

• Limited availability of tickets.

• Ballot is the fairest way to allocate the chance to buy.

• Random number selection will be used to select the members who will get the opportunity to buy.
• England drawn first, then France – member can only be drawn for one game.

• The Club is closed to new members but still open for renewals.

while I think a ballot is fair, the single ticket thing will be an issue for many but c'est la vie I guess

Yeah, they are never going to win with the popularity of it now, they could sell it out 4 times easily I reckon. It was good while it lasted, always got sorted.

yes, the mystery of how many tickets and how many members continue so we don't really know chances but sure we'll see

crisco10 · 06-12-2018 03:35PM

I agree ballot is fair (although personally disappointed, I was always quite successful in the various ticket rushes!)

I would have thought the ballot would require some sort of opt in (as opposed to a default everyone in ballot), if only to thin the numbers a little...

MisterAnarchy · 06-12-2018 03:37PM

A ballot ,what a con.
The IRFU need to distribute the tickets better ,there are thousands being siphoned off for sale on the resale sites .

pc7 · 06-12-2018 03:38PM

For all we know there are 20 tickets available per game, it really is pot luck. Anyone know how many are in the SC? if my id is an indicator we are screwed lol. Didn't think it looked good when someone posted saying 10 of them out of Leinster SC didn't get a sniff.

ironkiwi · 06-12-2018 03:38PM

Am I reading it correctly... so if you joined after October 1st you are not in the draw? Think that's a little unfair on people who joined before it closed membership but still not in the draw?

JustShay · 06-12-2018 03:38PM

Now we need a 'secret' supporters club..

SINGLE TICKETS. What is the point, not being able to bring a mate or a family member. Bull****! It should just be the same on a fcfs basis on the day they go on sale, with said code given to each supporters club member. And in TWO's. Not Singles. Load of donkey poop!

The Iron Giant · 06-12-2018 03:39PM

Ah that's awful.

Fair enough, bring it in next year when people can decide if their membership is worth it but I didn't pay €50 to be in ballots.

Completely screwing over long term members.

Kevski · 06-12-2018 03:39PM

I’d be pretty unhappy if I had purchased a membership since the 1st October, only to be told that I wasn’t eligible for the draw.

pc7 · 06-12-2018 03:40PM

I'll happily take a single at this rate, can meet up after it.

pc7 · 06-12-2018 03:42PM

This is always the tough year to get tickets for the home games, they can't build an extension or hold it Croker, they've only so many seats. Supporters Club is always last for tickets, ticketmaster would likely have melted if they let everyone in. Its not ideal but I don't see another way. I'm in it years and am thankful I've gotten to so many games because of it, looks like those days are over.

Irish Gunner · 06-12-2018 03:43PM

Thinking of going to the Summer warm up games in Twickenham in August next year. No details on tickets as of yet

Would it be best to join the supporters club as not affiliated with any local club

JustShay · 06-12-2018 03:44PM

My membership this year was €50 paid on Sept 7th. But on the Supporters Club website it says my membership expires:

Membership expires: 01/10/2019

Does that mean my membership started on OCT 1st? Or is that January 10th of next year?

Confusing times!

:cool:

Is that a glitch as it says they arent available on general sale yet.

Tickets are not available on general sale for this event.

Debenture Holders can access their Reserved Seats until midday on Monday 3 December, as well as additional tickets below.

RFU Affiliated Clubs and their members can access tickets from midday on Tuesday 4 December.

They have tickets for £25 which seems very reasonable ,you'd think it would be a popular event,there will always be a bit of needle between Ireland and England friendly or not.
