Hint For The Average Socialite: Tickets are controlled by the host Union of each match, with a limited number of tickets made available to the visiting Union for their supporters, ie for a Scotland v Wales match, you should contact the Scottish Rugby Union in the first instance, unless you live in Wales, in which case you could also contact the Welsh Rugby Union.
To ensure that you obtain a genuine ticket, it is recommended that you only purchase tickets through an official source. Details of ticket policy / suppliers can be obtained directly from each Union listed here.
