Avoid World Cup Ticket Touts, Rugby Fans Told

In the case of the Rugby World Cup, there’s an official checker tool.

Stars including vice-captain Leonardo Ghiraldini, Martin Castrogiovanni and Mauro Bergamasco, trained as part of an open training session, with local residents and rugby fans in attendance.

Sky Sports News headquarters contacted getsporting.com and received an automated response stating Rugby World Cup bookings will be refunded.

Rugby fans are being warned by police about the increasing number of scams that claim to be authorised or endorsed by the organisers of the Rugby World Cup.

Speaking to STV News, Mr Sole said: “I just think it is an absolutely ridiculous decision by the Rugby World Cup to ban bagpipers”.

In all, there are only 15 Fan Zones spread around the country during the tournament, with Bristol, a city of just under 500,000 people with a rugby team that has previously been in the Premiership and boasts former worldwide talent such as Dwayne Peel, Gavin Henson, Tom Varndell and David Lemi, missing out.

Which? is concerned that GetSporting.com still appears to be trading online despite the action taken by the NFIB and we recommend that rugby fans exercise caution when shopping for tickets online.

But a Mirror investigation found payments to the site were taken by RAL Event Management, set up and run by notorious ticket tout Roger Leigh.

Where can you buy Official ticket-inclusive hospitality packages?

Tickets for the general public can only be obtained through England Rugby 2015 Limited (ER2015), the outlet for ER2015 can be found through their official website at https://ticket.rugbyworldcup.com, here a range of hospitality options can be found too, as well as a number of travel packages.

There is no guarantee that Rugby World Cup 2015 tickets (and/or ticket inclusive packages) purchased from any source other than RWCL, ER2015, RTH (or those listed above) are genuine tickets (and/or ticket-inclusive packages).

Superintendent Jo Edwards, spokeswoman for the policing of the Rugby World Cup, said people should avoid buying tickets from touts at all costs.

However, because it’s hosted overseas, the company’s website is still up and running – and still offering tickets for sale.
