    I’ve always had a account pre sale but it *should* let you add your ticket to the basket and then set up an account to check out. Online sales management has been really poor for this RWC though, so who knows.

    Is anyone familiar with reselling tickets that you no longer need, through the official ticket site? Is it automatic that you can sell the ticket back or does it depend on demand?

    Might pick up a second ticket for a mate who's on the fence about making the journey out to Shizuoka...

    You sell it when someone buys it, if you know what I mean.

    Cheers. I just got through (waiting from 10am to 1.30pm) and bought 4 tickets (2 Cat-C for Ireland vs Japan, 2 Cat-D for Ireland vs Scotland). Showing up as "not available for resale" but maybe that will change later....

    Got through there in the last half hour. 2 Cat A Japan v Ireland and 2 Cat C Australia v Wales

    Both were coming up in mild availability.

    I got lucky with my housemate joining the queue for me also and emailed me the queue link. He got in at 18k.

    Feck it anyway. Tried for the umpteenth time for tickets for the final but no joy. Still 17500 ahead of me and the final tickets are now showing as unavailable.

    I hate that online booking system with a passion.

    Looks like I'll have to take my chances on sorting something when I am in Japan, so

    When I got through at 11 there were tickets available for every match ,every category .
    Its the same old story every tournament ,organisers holding back huge amounts of tickets to create hype and sell the hospitality/corporate crap.

    Tbf, you were lucky to get in so quickly - I was on it as soon as it went live and almost 8 hours later I still have 28k ahead of me, so I’ll be picking up scraps at best.

    Just got in and attached is screenshot of Ireland tickets left. The website is still dodgy regarding availability as the Cat C Japan v Ireland tickets were showing as available but said availability less than selected even at 1 ticket. Managed to get Cat B. Hopefully ye can all get sorted!

    Got in and got broadly what I wanted, happy days! Now I need to resell the horrendously expensive SF2 Cat A that I had asap.

    My second window will probably open in c. an hour so PM if anyone wants that link.

    Ireland vs Scotland nearly sold out too - only Cat A tickets left.

    Thought some of the other Japan games would be sold out by now

    I’ve got three Ireland Team packs for the group stages, that unfortunately we cannot attend. Category B, all seats together. Selling face value to make sure a real fan gets to go!

    Hi, unfortunately the team packs aren't separate tickets for each game but a single pass for the four pool games.

    Where are people staying for the Japan v Ireland game?

    I’m currently looking at Fukuroi or is there better recommendations?

    Selling 3x team tickets for Ireland's 4 group games in the RWC in Japan in September 2019. The tickets are a group team pack ticket that is for all 4 games and cannot be sold separately. Each ticket comes as a lanyard

    3x tickets for:
    IRELAND vs SCOTLAND
    IRELAND vs JAPAN
    IRELAND vs RUSSIA
    IRELAND vs SAMOA

    Category D seats. Behind the goalposts for most games.

    I will be sitting in the 2 seats beside these tickets at each of the games, so I can help ease any concerns with entry to the games. All 3 tickets are in my name

    Selling for face value (incl. booking and delivery fees). c.€50 per game!

    Hadn't thought about anything like this until I saw it on the front page of Sky News this morning!!

    https://news.sky.com/story/rugby-fans-heading-to-japan-for-world-cup-warned-about-deadly-brain-infection-11784394

    Slightly concerning but surely no need to worry about it if you are only going for 2-3 weeks and mainly staying in cities.

    You can get advice here:

    Nothing essential for entry
    Only Tetanus recommended

    The shot is €310 in the tropical medical bureau. Hard to justify that to be honest.

    110 per shot - so 220 in the link above

    but maybe a consultation fee too..so similar enough

    Health is wealth and all that. But yeah have to balance it up. If travelling to cities it should be grand. I'm sure there's cheaper anti mosquito products too

    You can’t beat a bit of freaking out when it comes to illness. Japan isn’t even listed here for where most cases occur.

    https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/japanese-encephalitis/causes/


    If you are actually worried about it then just put on some insect repellant and long sleeve clothing, insect repellant costs a fiver and save yourself a vaccine which comes with their own risks anyway.
