I could be wrong but i reckon your application will raise a red flag for the reason that there is no pattern as to which team you're supporting and following and it's the type of application a tout would make.

I probably wasn't too clear and left the important bit out. I would have wanted to win the euromillions tonight if I applied for all Cat D tickets.

I only applied for the matches Ireland will be playing or will possibly be playing in during the knock out stages.

Now that makes sense. Not long left now and we'll all soon find out if we'll be traveling next year.

Was hoping the mails would go at midnight last night, if it's midnight tonight it'll be a long day!

baggy13 · 25-10-2014 8:51am

Im guessing it will be 09.00. I hope so the suspense is killing me.

Steven81 · 25-10-2014 9:06am

First thing i did when i woke up was log on to my mails, second was log on here. Its going to be a long day

cnlbel · 25-10-2014 9:23am

i really thought it would be 9am-this is so annoying-prob not till 6 this evening or something!:mad:

The Ape · 25-10-2014 9:55am

If you sign into the RWC website, where you applied for the tickets, and then click on the My Application section, you will find out the outcome of your application. Best of Luck guys!

Agent J · 25-10-2014 9:59am

No tickets for me it seems

baggy13 · 25-10-2014 10:00am

My application was partially successful i am the proud owner of tickets for both semi finals.

cee_jay · 25-10-2014 10:03am

Not surprisingly, my application was unsuccessful.

rainbow kirby · 25-10-2014 10:07am

Nothing for me either.

Buer · 25-10-2014 10:11am

Me neither. Gah.

cnlbel · 25-10-2014 10:15am

yippeee got 4 out of 6-now to find the money

kollegeknight · 25-10-2014 10:15am

Partially successful

I got a pair of Ireland v Italy cat d tickets.

Had applied for some Australia games for the wife but no good.

peteroregan · 25-10-2014 10:18am

Unsuccessful

Blingy · 25-10-2014 10:20am

Just got the email. No tickets for me.

Steven81 · 25-10-2014 10:20am

Applied for the two quarter finals in cardiff, got the winner of group d vs runner up of c. Now Ireland top the group.

ditto here. my good lady has applied for a hatful too so hopefully her email is different. i checked the credit card online and there does not seem to be anything billed on it though :-(

LuckyGent88 · 25-10-2014 10:26am

Absolutely gutted.
I haven't got tickets and I applied for category c tickets.Made the trip from Ireland to New Zealand for the last World Cup and now I can't get to one just across the water. Absolutely low.

adrian522 · 25-10-2014 10:28am

Got tickets to both of the Cardiff quarters. One Cat C, One Cat D. Should be a good weekend!

Missed out on Ire v Fra and the semi though

Unfortunately you will be able to get one but you'll have to pay through the nose. I'm gonna check now...

Humour Me · 25-10-2014 10:31am

Just got the email. Two tickets for the Canada game and both quarters in the millennium stadium. Can't bloody wait!!

Swiwi. · 25-10-2014 10:31am

My genuine commiserations to those who missed out. I don't trust the ABs not to stuff up, so just went for the 1/4 final at Cardiff. And was lucky! Hoping to see a replay of 2007 - but with a different result. I was surprised the demand for this match wasn't higher.

Just need NZ to beat Argentina in pool play - which I'd be pretty confident about...and Ireland to beat France which is more 50/50 I'd say.

Imagine if Ireland beat France...only for NZ to lose to Argentina...

sluggerb · 25-10-2014 10:32am

Nada for me

Didn't think both cat C tickets for Italy and France would go to ballet considering the ticket prices.

Hagz · 25-10-2014 10:33am

Unsuccessful

Larry Wildman · 25-10-2014 10:37am

Got them!

Four for France vs Ireland
Four for Ireland vs Italy
Four for New Zealand vs Ireland/France
Four for Argentina vs Ireland/France

I only applied for As and Bs on the assumption that there'd be more tickets and less people willing to pay that.

peteroregan · 25-10-2014 10:38am

Two of us applied for Ireland v Italy with the increase your chances ticked and we applied for South Africa v Scotland because the inlaws are saffers with the increase your chances ticked.
I had my doubts about getting the ireland game as it was in high demand almost immediately but i checked up till almost the end of the window and the SA game never went to ballot.
I'm very dubious about this.

Can I speak for everyone when i say. I HATE YOU!!!!!!

Tin Foil Hat · 25-10-2014 10:43am

Yay. Tickets for me

crisco10 · 25-10-2014 10:45am

3 cat d tickets for quarters. Sweet.

NoelJ · 25-10-2014 10:47am

Got Ireland vs Romania and winner d vs runner up c

Both cat d

Do You Even Squat · 25-10-2014 10:48am

Am I correct in saying that the chances of getting a ticket during the November re sale are even worse than getting a ticket in the ballot? 5m people applied for just under 1m tickets initially and i doubt that more than 50k tickets would be up for resale? Probably much less. But this time there are 4m people competing for them. Looks like there'll be no world cup for me

Manofthewest · 25-10-2014 10:58am

Got three games. Canada, Italy and QF 3. Happy enough with that.

naughto · 25-10-2014 11:02am

Got mine aswell.how far ahead can you book flights

youcancallmeal · 25-10-2014 11:03am

Got Cat C tickets for Ireland Italy game, Delighted. 15£ for postage is fairly mad though

RuggieBear · 25-10-2014 11:05am

no dice

andymx11 · 25-10-2014 11:12am

Talk about ruining a bank holiday weekend!

basillarkin · 25-10-2014 11:17am

No tickets here. Ballot aload of ****e

OffalyMedic · 25-10-2014 11:25am

Woohoo got 4x Ireland v Canada and 4x the 2 quarter finals

Yes, I agree the tried & tested system of nepotism, cronyism, and "who you know" works much better.

25-10-2014 11:30am

Didn't get any. All my mates who barely like rugby got some. Sake

Eod100 · 25-10-2014 11:32am

Got 5 tickets for Canada is Cat C. No luck with my applications for France or Italy, ah well sure!

Silly question but is the money pretty much taken automatically on Monday?

pc7 · 25-10-2014 11:44am

Didn't get tickets, seems a strange way as people who applied for more matches seemed very lucky.

Podge_irl · 25-10-2014 11:44am

Got four tickets to NZ v ireland/France.

What categories did you apply for?

When I've gone to these types of events previously, the bulk of the tickets are the expensive type (Category A and B in this instance).

It's speculation, but I reckon that there were relatively few Category C and D tickets and a hell of a lot of applicants for those categories.

peteroregan · 25-10-2014 12:06pm

I also don't rate the balloting system as the fairest way to decide on ticket allocation.
Like how can some people get 16 tickets or even more and then others get none?
Let's see how the second sale goes in November.

Speaking to friends and colleagues, a pattern is emerging...

People who applied for As or Bs or who indicated a preference to upgrade seem to have been more successful.

Yeah that's probably it alright I went for d/c. Ah well will probably just hold tight and try get a package for a semi when the time comes.
Glad to see a good few boardsies were lucky.

Brewster · 25-10-2014 12:20pm

Only applied for four cat D France and I got them! Worry about quarters after !
