Unless I have missed something, there are no official source
tickets available for any of the matches other than Italy, which
is a match where there are general sale tickets available more
often than not. Whilst it is hugely overpriced to go to any
England home match, there is still a big appetite for
competitive matches. Italy certainly shouldn't be competitive so
tickets available, the RFU should have sold that match £50-70.
I'm looking forward to the, hopefully, much more positive new
era.
FYI, if anyone does have deep pockets and fancies it, there are
a few pairs of face value tickets on Twickets

I have never heard of “Twickets”, but be careful……the RFU take a
dim view of 3rd party providers, and have been fairly successful
in minimising them.

They really weren't messing around.

The RFU found someone I know of listing tickets for sale that
he'd got through a community club. He didn't think he could be
found out, but the RFU discovered them, tracked down the actual
tickets, cancelled them and worked out who they were allocated
to.
The RFU then contacted the club and told them that if the club's
tickets were found being resold again they'd lose their whole
ticket allocation indefinitely.
He lost hundred of pounds that he'd spent on the tickets, got a
lifetime ban on buying tickets from the club and was nearly
thrown out of it.
The club had to demonstrate that they'd taken full and effective
action. The RFU really didn't mess around.

When tickets are said to be £170. Can you actually buy them for
that or do Ticketsheister charge you more for permission to buy
said ticket.

Fair enough. They must still be getting returns because they
were sold out when I looked yesterday.

> It's not cost of living issues for me. I just finally reached
the point where I was sick of spending large amounts of money
and got a rubbish game in return! I don't mind if we do our best
and get beaten by Scotland, that's what makes great matches. I
object when we look clueless, ponderous, hopeless. England vs
Scotland is one of the world class grudge matches. Of course
Scotland want to beat us, and every fibre of their bodies
resonates with that idea. That's why it's so satisfying to beat
them and inflict further pain on them! But if Scotland win, I'm
the first on my feet applauding a great victory in what I hope
was a tough fought match. But I'm damned if I'll shell out one
more time to watch the rubbish that Eddie Jones was serving up.

Just been on England Rugby tickets, plenty have been sold now,
there are still tickets available, but if You want at least 2
together only available in selected areas behind the posts.
There are still a few left for the Scotland game.

Any road.
Just take note of the number of empty seats in the East stand
after half time. They take ages to fill up. People not
interested in rugby, just getting stuck into the booze.
Oh, and another thing..........
