I've just joined the England Rugby Supporters Club in the hope that I might get a shot at some tickets!

ERSC said:
In 2004/05 ERSC members who entered the ballots had a 1 in 4 chance for a pair of tickets to watch England play in a Grade A fixture at Twickenham. (South Africa, Australia, France or Scotland).

Get down to Cardiff and buy a ticket at the stadium, loads of touts, a lot of them try it on with the price, but if you haggle and wander around long enough you'll get a decent ticket. Worst comes to worst there's lots of good bars to watch it in.

I paid around £50-60 a ticket but always managed to get in. Best was Wales v Ireland, bought two tickets off some Irish fella at £12.50 each (face value) fourth row behind the try line to watch O'Gara kick a winner in the final minute. thumbup

Your best bet before hand is to contact local rugby clubs as they usually get large allocations.

I've just moved to Twickenham, and they've posted letters though doors of locals giving you dibs to buy tickets.

Nice touch. Family has debentures, which are usually good for an autumn international and a 6 nations game. (when my turn comes around..!)

Ooh, excellent.... girlfriend is moving to a flat opposite the stadium in a week or two!

Meanwhile, I've entered the ERSC ballot for France and Scotland tickets.
