Dear members,

Please see the attached application form for match tickets for England’s Six Nations international fixtures in early 2024.

The fixtures at Twickenham are as follows:

Saturday, February 10 - England v Wales (4.45pm)
Saturday, March 9 - England v Ireland (4.45pm)

The away fixtures are as follows:

Saturday, February 3 - Italy v England (2.15pm)
Saturday, February 24 - Scotland v England (4.45pm)
Saturday, March 16 - France v England (8pm)

The process for applying for tickets will be as follows (fuller details are provided later on in this document)

1. Applications must be received by me by midnight on Saturday 21st October
2. Ballot held if necessary and tickets allocated by Sunday 29th October
3. Tickets to be paid for by members by midnight on Wednesday 15th November

Applications
• Only paid-up full members may apply for International tickets
• Members wishing to apply for tickets should complete the attached form and send it to me via email only by midnight on Saturday 21st October 2023.
• The application form shows the pricing for the matches at the ‘entitlement’ ticket price that Clubs have access to during the initial purchase window
• Should additional tickets become available to us after the initial purchase window these will be at standard prices

Ballots
• With just two home games in the tournament it is anticipated that both matches will require a ballot to be held
• At this stage only adult tickets will be available. I am hopeful that I will be able to access additional tickets including some child-priced tickets at later stages in the process - please do mark on your application whether or not you would like child tickets and I will do what I can to obtain these once the initial ballot has been satisfied
• If members are successful in the ballot then they will be allocated a pair of tickets at the adult prices
• I will aim to match successful applicants with tickets in the category applied for, but inevitably this will not be possible for everyone
• I will contact successful applicants with details of the tickets being offered to them. The members can then accept or decline them at that point
• Once you have accepted your allocated tickets the Club fully expects that you will purchase all tickets that you have applied for and that have been allocated to you

Payment
• Please note that those members receiving tickets should make a donation to Club funds of £10 per ticket.
• Successful applicants will have until midnight on Wednesday 15th November to have made payment to the Club and have their tickets confirmed – this is to ensure that the Club has the funds to make payment to the RFU when they become due
• Payment details will be sent to successful applicants along with details of their ticket allocations

Tickets
• Tickets will be distributed to members electronically via the Twickenham Stadium app
• To enable this approach, it is vital that you include your email address and mobile phone number in the application. The link to download the Twickenham Stadium app for iPhone and Android is below
• What is the Twickenham Stadium App? – Rugby Football Union (englandrugby.com)
• As a final reminder, tickets must not be sold on at a profit or indeed to people not known to you. The RFU have access through the e-ticketing system to track the number of times a ticket has changed hands and work actively to stop touting. I also have access to this information for Rams RFC tickets as the International Tickets Secretary. The penalties are significant if a member is found to have caused this – even inadvertently with the Club potentially facing a ten year ban from receiving tickets.
I look forward to supporting as many members as possible with International Tickets this season, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if anything requires clarification.
Yours faithfully,

Steve

Rams RFC International Ticket Officer
