Yeah sadly of little surprise that the people who are most
likely to bang on about the “rugby family” are the ones screwing
over the fans.
Bugs the hell out of me.
Mind you in also amazed anyone is prepared to pay over the odds
for a ticket to anything.

I think the tickets are over priced, even at face value.
Why anyone would pay several hundred pounds for a ticket is
beyond me.

There will always be someone greedy enough to try to profit and
someone stupid enough to pay.

To be fair I paid several hundreds pounds per ticket several
times in the World Cup - and how often do you get to walk from
your front door to a seat at a World Cup Final in 10 mins.
But they were all face value.

One does have to wonder where Viagogo gets its tickets from, if
it isn't from individuals and clubs.
I can buy tickets from my rugby club, but I think they are too
expensive.
I was offered two tickets for the France game earlier this week
- at £115.00 each. i didn't pursue the offer.

Based on the rules of price elasticity, they’re probably about
right given that most games are 90%+ sold out.

All tickets for the August ' warm up' games were taken from
Local Rugby Clubs and just placed on the RFU / Ticketmaster web
site for people to buy direct - apparently to give Ticket
Officers a break .
The RFU issued a document last month to all Clubs to say they
were revisiting the allocations of tickets to Rugby Clubs for
next years 6N . They are planning to use a 'new algorithm ' to
determine how many each Club would receive . ( currently Level 9
Clubs get about 40 tickets per game for most 6N , more for the
Italy game )
That probably means only one thing (as the tickets to local
clubs give the RFU less revenue than the resale value ) . The
RFU will sell less cheaper tickets through the Clubs and sell at
the higher prices to allow the Corporate world to spend more in
the new East Stand development , or just charge normal punters
more .

Given that Prem clubs get approx 200 tickets for the AIs and
6Ns, I'm surprised that clubs at level 9 get that many. It's no
wonder they get passed on to local sponsors who may not have any
takers in their staff & so sell them on.

What is level 9?
Can you give an example of a local club at level 9?
Edit
Let google be your friend. Herts/Middlesex 1 according to this:
