Rathdrum RFC's ("the Club") policy on the purchase of Ireland International tickets is designed to ensure that ticket distribution is fair and transparent. Tickets shall only be distributed to fully paid up adult members, or honorary life members.
The IRFU requires that all clubs adhere to a strict set of guideleines regarding the distribution and control of International tickets. The below guidelines ensure that we are compliant with IRFU policy and equitable in the distribution of our ticket allocation.
- Tickets may be applied for by all fully paid up adult members (i.e. playing membership, non-playing membership, coach membership).
- In the event of oversubscription, tickets will be allocated as follows:
- Committee members and Adult players
- Coaches
- Ordinary adult club members - Tickets may be limited to 2 per member, dependant on demand
- Tickets must not be resold under any circumstances. Reselling on ticket resale websites is strictly prohibited. Members found in breach of this shall be excluded from future ticket distributions and shall face disciplinary action.
- In the event a member cannot attend an event, the International Ticket Secretary should be contacted immediately. The International Ticket Secretary shall offer first refusal of tickets to those unsuccessful in their original application. Financial liability remains with the original ticket holder should the tickets not be redistributed.
- The Club reserves the right to distribute tickets to club sponsors and benefactors as a first priority at the discretion and instruction of the Club Committee.
- The International Tickets Secretary is provided the discretion to distribute unsold tickets, within the IRFU guidelines, to ensure the club does not suffer a financial loss on unsold tickets.
- The Club reserves the right to administer a club development levy to the ticket price, as agreed by the Club Committee.
- All tickets must be paid in full by agreed deadlines. Tickets will not be distributed unless paid for in advance.
All applications for tickets are to me made to the International Ticket secretary. Details will be posted in the news section of our website and app regarding International games and ticket application method.
