Guest Blog from Keith Prowse: How to get those elusive International Rugby Tickets

Late winter and early spring is when rugby fans start getting excited about the annual six Nations tournament. The anticipation of old rivalries coming together gets the heart beating and the thrill of watching gets you onto the edge of your seat. But, what seat? How often do you end up watching the games at home or in the pub rather than witnessing the real live at the stadium? Unfortunately, it is just the few who can actually get tickets because they are so hard to come by. With this in mind, we have put together a short description of how you maybe able to get those elusive tickets.

Become a member of a rugby club
Most rugby clubs get an allocation of tickets for an International game and you can apply to get these. The number of tickets will depend on the size of the club. Your name is normally put into a pot and the lucky few will have their names pulled out.

Join England Rugby Supporters Club
Rather than joining a specific rugby club, you can join the England Rugby Club. They have a number of tickets which are allocated for each England game and if you are lucky enough you will be allocated. Again, it is a lottery if your name will be picked out of the hat.

The Experience Club
All the benefits of corporate hospitality but without the business! This is a more expensive option but you get a great deal of benefits, including free drinks (beer, wine and soft drinks, excluding during the game itself) , food before and after the game, so all in all makes for a great day out if you have a budget to stretch.

Arrive at Twickenham Stadium and access The Experience Club through a VIP entrance 1.5 hours before kick-off. Join like-minded people in the new South Stand. Whilst standing and chatting with friends, colleagues or fellow fans, grab a bite to eat, a beer or a glass of wine and soak up the pre-match atmosphere, discussing the team line-ups and predictions.

As a fail safe way to get 6 Nations rugby tickets, and with the additional benefits, you can have a stress free day whilst in the professional hands of the UK’s largest corporate hospitality provider.

Getmein /Soldoutevents websites
These are an online ticket marketplace where fans can buy and sell live entertainment tickets for sport tickets. These are for the ticket only. Often they have a selection of hard to find tickets in different areas of the ground but are expensive, normally starting at over £200 a ticket. The good news is that you buy the tickets you want and definitely better than buying from a tout. They are part of Ticketmaster so they will verify the tickets.

Corporate Hospitality
If all else fails, make sure one of your clients takes you. Or, make sure you take one of your clients. Expensive, and may not be with one of your best friends, but still a great way to enjoy the fantastic atmosphere of Twickenham. There are 2 types of corporate hospitality – those inside the ground, run by Keith Prowse, and those outside the ground.

Touts

Avoid at all costs!

Good luck – unfortunately there is no cheap way to get guaranteed tickets but you could either be lucky or, if you plan and dig deep, there are some great ways of getting good quality tickets and having a great time.
