Japan RWC2019 - Tickets and Info

[Rugger Quizzes]

Got the bundle for the 3 pool games in Oita.

Wallabies vs Uruguay
All Blacks vs Qualifier
Wales vs Fiji

Missed out on the All Blacks bundle unfortunately.

Going to have a crack at single game tickets in May once the ballot becomes available.

Oita will go off over those few days. Now to start thinking about accommodation!

Got tickets for all the ABs pool games. Missed out on the stadium tickets. Happy with that.

Didn't get shit... that's just the icing on today's hangover.

[gt12]

Didn’t get shit either. Will have to start working some back channels.

[Rugger Quizzes]

Tickets for individual games go on sale in May. Will see what I can get, Oita will be a piss trip but want to take my son to a game somewhere as well. Doesn't really matter who is playing so might try getting tickets to see some of the minnows.

Also got F.A. Not that bothered yet. If I miss out on individual games it then becomes a question of how much I am prepared to pay I guess

[Rugger Quizzes]

Still baffled by the AB Tours package for the Oita game with hotel in Fukuoka given that transfers aren't part of the deal.

Game at 7.15pm kickoff with stadium 30 minutes from Oita train station.

Last possible train out of Oita for Fukuoka leaves at 9.43pm. Might take a while to get out of the stadium and I don't fancy people's chances of getting to the station on time.

I've pointed this out to them but I doubt they will listen. Still if they have any sense they will pull this package until they come up with a more satisfactory accommodation option. Plenty of resort style hotels just up the road from Oita in Beppu.

@rugger-quizzes Are those trains on the regular time table? If so, won't there be any extra trains, like they do here for special events?

[Rugger Quizzes]

@stargazer Unlikely there would be any special trains but I could be wrong.

9.43 is last scheduled express to Hakata (Fukuoka)

[Rugger Quizzes]

Word is there could be special trains back from Oita to Fukuoka but I still wonder how many people are up for 6 hours of travel on a game day. Time will tell.

RWC site shows priority tickets being released on May 19 to Supporters' Clubs (Do ABs have one)/Front Row(English RFU) members.

Keen to see if an NZ angle.

Anyone in the know?

Maybe "Team All Blacks" counts as one?

[pakman]

@stargazer I'd like to think so. I may be being dull, but I couldn't see anything on ABs.com.

Just signed up for this: https://www.rugbyworldcup.com/supporters
Priority tickets released next Saturday.

Just applied via frontrow for more tickets after finally winning some in the ballot - we’ll be at the Q3/Q4 winners semi for sure. Which means, we’ll win our pool I guess. You’re all welcome.

Still hoping for more tickets.

Log in to your account, should be able to see how you got on in the latest ballot.

I got all the ABs playoff games, assuming they win their group.

And Japan v Russia, the opening game, and Japan v Scotland.

Sorted!

Faaark - I got jack-shit.
Applied for 11 games, got 3...
Georgia-Fiji, NZ-Africa1, Wales-Fiji
Karma for my gloating when I got every single game I applied for in 2015?

[pakman]

I got three of five. One semi, but not sure if 'right' one!

[dogmeat]

I got zip and the organized packages from NZ are a joke - sayonara Japan 19
