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:

Its rounded up to the end of the month you join so your membership ends Oct 1st 2019.

Anyone else not get an e-mail? Almost certain I had renewed..

Kevski · 06-12-2018 03:53PM

Just called IRFU regarding only members active as of 1st of October being eligible for the ballot.

I was told that this was an error in the email and that members who have signed up between 1st October and 4th December are also eligible for the draw, and that a second email should be will out to clarify this.

The Iron Giant · 06-12-2018 03:57PM

Second email just arrived clarifying date. If you took out membership up til December 5th, it's included.

They really should have some system based on length with the supporters club to give priority to purchase tickets. Have never had too many issues with tickets and now it's down to a random name picker in a computer, ugh.

Pretty annoyed about this change.

Their support is shocking. Took them a couple weeks to reply to the same issue. So make sure your username is correct, it is case sensitive. They got back to me with my username and gave me a new password. Email info@irishrugby.ie for any concerns.

Also don't login with email address, its your username.

p.s. I got a welcome back the first time I joined but not the second time. Is this normal, to just get one welcome package? I've renewed twice now but only got one package.

Been in the club about 8 or 9 years at this stage, think i've gotten 4 gifts. Seems a bit random whether you get or not.

Tomw86 · 06-12-2018 04:19PM

Any word on tickets for Scotland V Ireland in Edinburgh next year?

I've never been a club member or sourced tickets to rugby matches, but going over with a few lads!

Yea, as someone who was always reasonably successful in the press refresh constantly at 9.59 this is quite disappointing.

I guess the allocation is very small so doesn't even warrant a sale. Would be good if you got one entry per year of membership in the ballot too to reward loyalty.

Redo91 · 06-12-2018 04:27PM

Just received the second email. Was about to email them looking for a refund as I had joined last month on the basis that I’d have a shot at Six Nations tickets. Still annoyed about the Ballot as I can’t make the France game and we have no control over what tickets we try to get.

They Ballot the English game first then the French. Ballot only gives you chance to buy to so if your drawn for France no obligation to buy

Ah that’s perfect! Still a long shot but good to know all the same.

t.

can you see tickets here https://www.eticketing.co.uk/rfu/EDP/Event/Index/2568

Maybe its cause I signed up trying to get tickets for last 6n with them?

pc7 · 06-12-2018 04:37PM

Can people post here Monday if they get a ballot, will be interesting to see how many do.

Ah thanks for that, that's exactly what I was doing.. d'oh! All sorted now thanks!

I got 1 the first time and I'm joined a few years and got one this time around so don't think it's every year.

Still didn't get the email, mind you..

On off chance you kept it, it should be on email you received confirming subscription

This worked. Cheers. No ballot email even in spam so here's hoping that's not an indicator of things to come.

Sheep Shagger · 07-12-2018 12:48AM

Got tickets for the England v Ireland friendly, same day flights to London for 24/8/19 were just €55

Kevski · 07-12-2018 10:26AM

That’s pretty decent, might look into doing the same.

I've a feeling the ballot will be like the Father Ted raffle ,i.e tickets for the boys

There are currently on sale on the english site

cheers thanks for that now to find the money

Just got this email from the Scottish RFU

...the three-match Guinness Six Nations Package, which went on sale last month, has also sold out. This means there are currently no tickets available for the game against Ireland (Saturday 9 February, kick-off 2,15pm). It is possible there will be tickets returned to Scottish Rugby from un-allocated prior rights stakeholders. If so, these will be made available for purchase in early/mid January.

I've purchased flights already, so hoping that tickets become available from returns in January!

Yeah, same boat here, first year that's happened, we go over every two years to that one and have always bought online direct. Madness! Know its a world cup year but the boom seems to be back!
Think we'll go back to using travel packages, at least you are guaranteed a ticket.

Suppose the new system from the IRFU supporters club is fair enough and look of the draw. Personally didn't mind the old system but times have to move on

Been part of the club for 10 years and have only missed out on one occasion in a ticket sale

Won't be attending any 6N games next season due to other things

I don't think it's fair at all. It's far worse.

It's still luck of the draw as to whether you get tickets when they're available but now you need to be picked out of a hat to even have the chance to try to get lucky getting tickets.

Successful ballot doesn't mean tickets so it's just locking people out of even trying. Total horsesh*t.

You only missed out once so the old system served you well.
I always got tickets for matches and they were usually decent tickets

I don't think it's fair at all. It's far worse.

Its rubbish and its completely open to abuse.
The IRFU should be looking at the amount of tickets they give to corporate and travel agencies ,there is a massive hole in their distribution system feeding resale sites like Viagogo.
10 and 12 seats in a row in sections ,farcical.

Is there that many given to agencies? Those sites dont really need/want to have tickets sold through on viagogo as they can lose out if consistently there tickets are up there.
