Tickets & Hospitality at Twickenham

[prand]

My wife loves a few beers and a trip to Twickenham to watch the rugby, one of the reasons she is Mrs P!

We've missed out on a lot of rugby and beer related fun this year due to the arrival of our second child, so I was thinking of treating her to a day out at one of the 6 nations games next year.

I've only had corporate hospitality to Twickenham in a private box or a reserved table in a marquee (when I haven't just gone as a normal punter), but can anyone recommend a VIP type experience more suited to general public who are willing to pay?

I could take her to a nice lunch in Twickenham/Richmond beforehand and just try and get tickets, but I wanted to see how other packages stood up too.

I've been lucky enough to do quite a few coprorate packages at Twickenham over the years (though not may recently for similar reasons to yourselves)....I wouldn't say any stack up against getting tickets yourself and booking a table at a nice restaurant. The ONLY reason to do it in my mind is to have a post match beer in relative peace whilst the queues for the station or scrum in the pubs dies down.

I agree, I've been to a few of these too, and my wife has always complained that I get to go and she's never invited!

There is the convenience factor though, buying tickets, (which most places, like seatwave are now into the hundreds each), having a reasonably nice experience with food & drink pre and post game pretty close to the stadium.

£500+VAT a head is still a lot, that's a holiday, dinner at the Fat Duck, etc etc. Would be very well received though!

Do they do tours of Twickenham? Maybe try and do that along with a match and restaurant? I did the tour of the Milenium Stadium and it was fantastic
