World cup tickets - Notification on Saturday

Just a heads up as i'm sure Im not the only one on here on tender hooks waiting to see what tickets you will be succesful in getting for the rugby world cup. According to the telegraph notification will be e mailed on Saturday 25th October. Not long for us to wait

Cheers for the heads up! Saves me obsessively checking everyday this week then!

Money to be taken out on 28th if any bids successful.

Best of luck to anyone who applied for the England - Australia match!!!

Applications for 650,000 tickets received for England v Australia in pool stage

I applied for Scotland tickets in Newcastle, so I would be fairly surprised not to be successful!!

Yeah FES, ive applied for all the Newcastle games.

I just hope all the numpty football fans dont apply and get tickets at the expense of the true rugby fans....

Is it too late to buy a division 1 season ticket for Wuss?

650K for one game?? Holds 82k not including the tickets already gone to corporate and rugby community wont hold my breath for that one!

Where did you get that figure? Do you know the application for the other games?

it's on the BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/29736815

Logged on at 5am to check what tickets I have got. Maybe I was a tad optimistic to expect an e mail at that time. Hurry up rwc organisers!

I have nothing either! Have they said a time?

No that I've seen. Refreshed my inbox so many times this last hour!

Just got the email - we applied 4 tickets for every Scotland game bar Japan, and we got none.

Zero.

Zip.

Ffs!

Just got my email.

Got sweet f a.

Even went for tiny teams.

Balls again

"We are writing to let you know that your application for tickets to Rugby World Cup 2015 has not been successful"

Frak sake

Still have nothing! Hopefully they are E-mailing the unsuccessful applications first!!

I applied for all the games at St James

I got nz v tonga and Scotland v Samoa but was unsuccessful in South Africa v Scotland

I applied for £1,600 worth of tickets. 10 games in total. I got NO tickets. Absolutely gutted.

Scotland Samoa?? You better be cheering for Scotland given all the disappointed Scottish fans out there!

Just like the olympics. Some get multiple others get nothing

How simple to spread it out and have it once you get one allocation yoy drop down the order until everyone has a chance

I go no tickets from the 'public' application but was fortunate to get tickets via my club membership prior to this - including the England v Oz game. It seems the pain of watching LI for the last few years paid off

A mate of mine has got Wales v oz and Wales v England. As already said its a bit unfair that he got 2 top draw games yet other get nowt.

I didn't get any of the tickets that I applied for!

Did you apply through LI Ozzy?

Was that in the 'public' application wrfc?

Yep via the public ballot he text me about an hour ago and is over the moon

Hope your friend has bought a lottery ticket as well?

Went for 2 tickets for both the leeds games - italy canada on sat and scotland usa on sunday. Only got the italy canada game....... Not sure what to do now. That was meant to be the 'extra' game to make a weekend of it down there. To go or not to go that is the question.....

Got 4 tickets for New Zealand v Georgia in the millenium stadium and surprise, surprise nothing for the final itself. Better than nothing though.

My mams Scottish so yes I'll be cheering for them. Besides most English people think Newcastle is a small town in Scotland anyway.

Most of my mates got no tickets so I think I've been hugely lucky to get what I did.

Just add I wonder if there are unsold tickets in the more expensive categories which will go on resale?

"We are writing to let you know that your application for tickets to Rugby World Cup 2015 has not been successful."
The feeling when that bombshell of an email arrived

Newbie here. Just got the results of my application. Applied for 4 matches - got nowt. Newspapers back in September predicting that there would be a huge problem as, unlike in the Olympics, there is no legislation in place to stop touts buying and reselling. Hope it's not true and just genuine fans who've got the tickets

Welcome to V2 forum!

Will be even more gutting if the touts have taken all the tickets

Does seem odd then that as you say he got two lots whilst other get nothing ... lucky man.

Greetings Pete.

And sadly a quick look on viagogo & stub hub shows loads of world cup listings.
Although they surely can't be genuine

Another thing that's really peed me off about the ticketing thing is the way the organisers have hoarded loads of tickets so their official travel partners can lay on over priced 'tour' packages.

Eg, England rugby Travel, for £159.99 will sell you a package for the Scotland V Japan game in Gloucster. This includes a £20 Catogery D match ticket, and a bus, but only from London, Reading or Swindon.

A big Frak you to anyone who A doesn't want to pay almost 8 times face value or who doesn't live in London or the surrounding areas

I applied for:
- Eng v Wal
- Eng v Wal
- Sam v USA
- SA V Jap
- QF1
- QF4
- Final

Was successful for one game.... the final! It's the cheap sits, but still! If England manage to make it to the final that would be incredible! Anyone know the odds of England getting to the final?

Nothing for me either. Very annoying!

I picked up 2 x NZ v Geo, 2 x NZ v Tonga and 2 x WC Final tickets (all cat D) in the club allocation...went in for two more each in the Geo/Tonga games so I could take my wife and youngest son to those but haven't had an email as yet. Assume it's the worst but clearly my situation isn't dire compared to others on here.

Not a bad haul.
Also, never mind about the email, log into the site and you'll see if you've got your applications.

Bit unsure GLove - the tickets I applied for this time around are still under My Applications with a status of 'Saved' but with the date I entered (September). Does anyone else have this?

How strange, not sure what a successful one would look like mind you! Mine reads "Application Status: Unsuccessful on October 23, 2014"
Then it lists all the games I applied for with a huge red cross next to each one

I may have hope then!

For anyone who has Google mail or similar, my email came into my Promotions inbox rather than my regular inbox.

I'm a bit gutted and confused. I applied for 5 matches two of which I didn't even think we're going to ballot.

The email just said 'your application was unsuccessful'. I thought 'what? None of the five? '. It seemed too much like a blanket statement.

Surely it wouldn't have been an all or nothing approach??

I thought I'd get a response that woulds say 'here are the games you were successful with, and these are the games you werent! '

You get a green tick and it says congratulations

Question - If the match did not go to ballot, did the tickets just not get sold?

Was this ONLY for ballots. So if a game did NOT oversubscribe, the tickets weren't given and the full match gets opened up for sale at a later date with those who applied getting a priority run at it???

Please tell me it's so.

Also, is there a list of which games went to ballot and which didn't.

An hour before it closed, three of the games I applied for had still not gone to ballot. Which is why I was confused to be told I was unsuccessful....
