The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) has condemned the reselling of Six Nations tickets at exorbitant prices, vowing to work with authorities to address the issue. The IRFU emphasized that reselling tickets above face value is illegal.
One website is selling more than 600 tickets for prices ranging from €700 for seats in the upper tiers to €2,481 each for lower tier seats. These tickets also range in batches from four to 20.
In response to this reselling of tickets at a huge mark-up, the IRFU issued the following statement, when contacted: “Under legislation, Aviva Stadium is a ‘Designated Venue’ and Six Nations matches are ‘Relevant Events’, and therefore reselling, above face value, to external ticketing providers is prohibited by law. Who are Ireland’s next young rugby stars? “Where appropriate, the IRFU will be liaising with the gardaí in relation to tickets being offered for sale at prices above face value for this year’s home Six Nations fixtures. “The IRFU’s terms and conditions associated with match tickets for the Aviva Stadium specifically prohibits the resale of match tickets to external ticketing providers, and if evidence of specific tickets (block, row and seat number) can be verified, then these tickets will be cancelled, in line with our terms and conditions. “The IRFU has the right to remove any individual, club or organisation to whom the tickets were issued in good faith from future ticket allocations.” Tickets for Ireland's Six Nations opening match against England next month are being sold for almost €2,500 on the ticketing site Seatsnet
