Japan RWC2019 - Tickets and Info
-
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.
-
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?
-
@stargazer Unlikely there would be any special trains but I could be wrong.
9.43 is last scheduled express to Hakata (Fukuoka)
-
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?

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? -
I have tickets to 3 games, one All Blacks game (NZ vs Italy). Road trips with the lads from this town I live in Japan. Should be a good time.
I am afraid the stadiums will be shit though. Many have tracks round the outside and you will be absolutely miles away from the action. Will kill the atmosphere at the games like the Bledisloe Cup game I went to in Tokyo at the Olympic Stadium. Couldn't see a damn thing so vowed never to see a game there again. Thankfully, they have had the games at the national stadium since then and that is a small, intimate field. -
