    Japan isn’t even listed here for where most cases occur.

    in fairness if you read it through it is only that way as there has been a mass immunisation programme in Japan

    so it is still there in rural areas but locals are unlikely to get it...but visitors can

    You have better odds of winning the lotto.

    There's tickets available at all levels for all knock-out games now but when you go to add to basket of course there's none there.

    Every category available for the final, tried for 1 ticket in each, and it says request exceeds availability. A little annoying. Has anyone had any luck? I wonder what the trick is...

    Has anyone received their tickets via DHL? I got an e-mail and text to say they would be delivered tomorrow however I received an e-mail this morning to say it would be today however they are still showing as been in Shannon. Also the county seems to be missing from my address, I checked my account on the rugby world cup site and that is correct so hopefully they arrive with no hassle

    Anyone got a connecting flight through Hong Kong and is slightly worried at this stage that the place could be in full meltdown by then?

    I'm booked home via HK with Cathay. But not til day after final. I reckon it will be grand and tbh, it's up to Cathay to re route that thang.

    The missus though is flying out on October 16 with Cathay so could be caught in the "crossfire" as it were.

    I think connecting flights have been ok as protestors are all landside. So once you’re booked straight through to Japan it should be ok.

    I'd be more worried about China invading than the protesters.

    Thx for the quick reply. Nope, I opted for printed tickets that were supposed to reach me by mail (just checked my account).

    I guess that means I will have to spend some time making calls to the Ticketing Customer Cente....as none of my previous emails were replied to so far. Great....

    Have tickets to QF4, assuming Ireland win the Group.

    From past experience of world cups, how easy would it be to exchange them for tickets to QF2 if we end up coming second?

    Saturday's performance is leaving me very pessimistic.

    well the presumption is that other fans ..... in this case Scots I guess (but possibly SA/NZ) would be in similar boat and would be looking to resell/exchange out there

    essentially there is 3 weeks between Japan game and QFs to organise something

    We're in the same boat with QF4 and SF2 tickets too. Have always planned on swapping with fans from other countries if the group stages etc. don't go our way.

    In any case, getting to attend any SF (if Ireland are in or not) will be a brilliant experience.

    I had thought that myself. Reckon I'd be too gutted after a QF loss to go to the SF. Sure we shall see I guess.

    Has anyone resold tickets using the official resale site?
    On the one hand it asks you to send your ticket to them in Japan at your own expense, but also says

    "For any tickets successfully resold that are not returned to the Rugby World Cup 2019 Ticketing Centre , the refund process will be made within 16 days following the relevant match date."

    Does that mean there's no need to actually send it to them? I'll get the money anyway after the match? I'd rather not have to queue at the post office and pay god knows how much it'd cost to send a registered letter to Japan.

    I'm only travelling over for the QF but hoping a swap system could happen easily enough if it came to it!

    Hey,

    Not sure if this is the right place, but I'm looking for two tickets to the Japan game, if anyone can be of assistance!

    Thanks,
