In the next section, we’ll walk you through some of the pitfalls of buying tickets for the Six Nations Championship, and will show how Ticket Compare makes getting Six Nations rugby tickets straightforward.

How Hard Is it to Get Six Nations Tickets?

It is extremely difficult to get Six Nations Tickets through official channels due to high demand and a ticketing system favoring members of the nations’ various rugby clubs and hospitality. Here’s a breakdown:
  1. Popular Teams Sell Out Quickly: Matches for England, Ireland, and Scotland typically sell out months in advance. France matches, especially home games at the Stade de France in Paris, also have elevated demand and limited supply.
  2. Club & Member Allocation: Most tickets go to rugby clubs, season ticket holders, and supporters' clubs. For instance, for Wales Six Nations tickets, around 40,000 seats in a 74,500-capacity stadium are allocated to clubs alone.
  3. Debenture Allocation: Thousands of tickets for the Six Nations have already been claimed because of debentures, which are multiyear block reservations, which we’ll explain in more detail further down this page.
  4. Public Sales Are Limited: Tickets available to the general public are rare, especially for England, Ireland and Scotland home matches. Italy’s home matches in Rome tend to have more availability, making Rome a popular choice for last-minute tickets.
Fortunately, it’s easy to buy Six Nations tickets on Ticket Compare. We have availability for all 15 matches across the tournament, even if tickets have sold out on the primary market. Next we’ll go into more depth on the situation with England Six Nations tickets, and why they’re almost impossible to buy on the primary market.

Why Is it so Hard to Get England Rugby Tickets?

 It’s especially challenging to buy England rugby tickets due to a complex allocation system aimed at ensuring broad access across different sections of the English rugby community. This system, set up in the 2020/21 season, prioritises distribution to those actively contributing to the game, including clubs, geographic bodies, referees' societies, and specific rugby organisations (such as universities, schools, and armed forces). Here are some key reasons for ticket scarcity:
  1. High Demand, Limited Supply: At least 50% of available tickets for each England International match are reserved for "the Game"—that is, the core rugby community that directly contributes to the sport at the grassroots level. This limited pool makes it harder for general fans to secure tickets.
  2. Complex Distribution Criteria: Clubs, Constituent Bodies (CBs), and referee societies receive allocations based on specific criteria. For example, additional tickets are allocated to clubs with active youth teams or referees' societies based on the number of games they officiate. This system ensures tickets are awarded to active participants, but it reduces the general availability for public sale.
  3. Emphasis on Grassroots Engagement: Clubs receive even more tickets if they engage in rugby through verified player registrations and match activities. Similarly, schools and colleges must prove rugby involvement and ensure tickets go to those contributing to their rugby activities. This hierarchy is valuable for nurturing the sport but contributes to ticket scarcity for non-club-affiliated fans.

When Do Six Nations Tickets Go on Sale?

 This depends on the federation, and each one has a different system for selling tickets for the Six Nations. Here is an approximate breakdown for when each federation’s first Six Nations tickets go on sale:
  • England (RFU): Around 3-4 months before the match. Tickets for some fixtures may go on sale individually or in phases, with certain matches available to the general public closer to the match date.
  • France (FFR): Typically, tickets are released around 2-3 months in advance, and you can ask to be notified on the FFR website.
  • Ireland (IRFU): Around 3-4 months before matches.
  • Italy (FIR): Italy often releases tickets early, usually 6-8 months before the tournament begins
  • Scotland (SRU): Tickets are generally made available about 3-4 months in advance.
  • Wales (WRU): Typically, tickets for Wales’ home matches are released about 3-4 months before the games.
These timelines give you a general guide, with specific sale dates varying slightly each season. If you don’t want to wait, Ticket Compare offers Six Nations tickets as soon as the fixtures are announced 10 months before the tournament begins.

Do Six Nations Tickets Sell Out?

 Yes, in fact you can expect all Six Nations tickets to sell out on the primary market. In many cases, these tickets will sell out to members of the respective federations before they even go on sale to the general public. This is the case for all of the Six Nations contenders, apart from Italy, which has less demand and will offer more availability for all home games. Another team that has a little more availability than the rest is Wales. With just 3,107,500 inhabitants, Wales has by far the smallest population of all of the Six Nations Contenders. However, they also have the second-largest stadium in the tournament, with 73,931 seats at the Principality Stadium. So while Wales Six Nations tickets will sell out, it will happen a little slower. You can buy Six Nations tickets with Ticket Compare whether a match has sold out or not.

How Much are Six Nations Tickets?

If you are able to buy Six Nations rugby tickets through the various national federations they will cost between £25 to £200 for general admission seats. The cheapest Six Nations tickets are in the Curva stands behind the goalposts in the Stadio Olimpico, while the most expensive are non-hospitality “premium” seats at Twickenham. The price of Six Nations rugby tickets on the resale market will start at around £45, but can rise exponentially depending on the location, teams, and the stakes of the match. Seats on Ticket Compare may be above or below face value, but there are ways to secure deals on Six Nations tickets, as we’ll show next.

How to Buy Cheap Six Nations Tickets

 It can be tricky to buy cheap tickets for the Six Nations, but there are a few ways to get a bargain if you’re using the secondary market.
  • Buy Solo Seats: There is always a premium attached if you want to sit together as a group. And this can increase dramatically with every attendee who wants to sit together. You may have better luck finding cheap tickets for the Six Nations if you sit on your own.
  • Buy Tickets Late: Sellers with extra stock will not want to be left with unsold Six Nations tickets, so may slash prices at the last-minute in order to sell their tickets. While it may feel like a gamble to wait until the last-minute to secure your seats this way, it’s a method that may pay off if you’ve got the nerve.
  • Choose Italy Matches: All Italy Six Nations matches are cheaper on the secondary market, especially if it is a home game at the Stadio Olimpico. If your priority is to experience the magic of a Six Nations match and you don’t mind who you watch, Rome, Italy is the way to go.
  • Opt for Less Popular Seats: The cheapest tickets for the Six Nations tend to be in the shortside stands, behind the goalposts, or in the corners of the stadiums. So if you’re ready to sacrifice a perfect view of the match in order to experience rugby’s oldest tournament, less favourable seats are the way to go.

Why Are England Rugby Tickets so Expensive?

 England Six Nations tickets stand out as easily the most expensive, on the primary market and secondary market. Here are a few reasons:
  • High Demand: Six Nations matches at Twickenham consistently sell out, with demand exceeding supply. Even with price increases, Twickenham’s 82,000 seats are fully booked far in advance, without even going on sale to the public.
  • Inflation and Rising Costs: The RFU has adjusted ticket prices to account for significant inflation, particularly increased energy costs. In 2022 alone, Twickenham’s utility expenses rose by £5 million, prompting higher prices to cover these growing overheads.
  • Revenue Needs: The RFU relies heavily on income from Six Nations matches and Twickenham, often described as a “cash cow.” This revenue supports all levels of rugby in England, from grassroots programs to the elite men’s and women’s teams, making it essential to sustain the sport.
  • COVID-19 Financial Impact: The pandemic led to a large revenue shortfall, and the RFU is still recovering from these financial setbacks. The ticket sales help recoup losses incurred from limited match attendance during that period.
  • Fewer Home Games: With limited home fixtures in a Six Nations campaign, the RFU capitalises on high-demand matches to maximise revenue, making each game more costly for fans.

What Is A Debenture Holder for England Rugby?

 An England Rugby a Debenture Holder is someone who has made a long-term financial commitment, essentially a loan to the Rugby Football Union (RFU), which grants them exclusive rights to purchase tickets for all England senior men’s 15-a-side home matches at Twickenham (Allianz Stadium), including the Six Nations and Autumn Nations Series. This system helps fund English rugby, especially grassroots initiatives, as England Rugby is a not-for-profit organisation. Key Benefits of England Rugby Debentures:
  • Guaranteed Ticket Rights: Debenture holders secure the right to buy tickets for every home match, a benefit limited to 15,000 seats, with at least 50% of all tickets reserved for RFU-affiliated clubs, as we mentioned above.
  • Exclusive Events & Hospitality: Debenture members enjoy perks like pre-match pitch walks with legends, access to exclusive events, retail discounts, and travel package priority.
  • Long-Term Security: Debentures typically have a 10–15 year benefit period, after which holders may renew if capacity allows.
Debenture holders gain no financial return on their loan, but instead, receive valuable, long-term ticket access and benefits, enhancing their rugby experience and supporting the development of the sport in England.

Six Nations Hospitality Tickets

 Now, while Six Nations tickets sell out quickly for general admission seats, you may have more luck buying hospitality tickets for Six Nations matches, which stay on the market until right up to the event. These VIP Six Nations seats are ideal for corporate purposes, or for people celebrating a special occasion, or groups of friends who want a memorable day watching world-class rugby. At the higher end of the price spectrum, Six Nations VIP hospitality experiences will be clearly labelled in the secondary market’s ticket listings. For an idea of what a typical hospitality experience gives you, this is the The Lock by Tom Kerridge lounge at Twickenham: Here’s a summary of the hospitality package at Twickenham’s "The Lock" by Tom Kerridge lounge:

What Makes the Six Nations Special?

The Six Nations Championship stands out as an extraordinary rugby event with deep historical roots and worldwide appeal. Established in 1883, it’s officially the oldest international rugby tournament in the world. Today, it’s the premier annual rugby competition in the Northern Hemisphere, uniting six countries—England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, and Italy—in intense but friendly rivalry. For example, fans of football (soccer) may be shocked to see rival rugby fans sharing the same seating sections with no trouble at the Six Nations. Sectarianism, often seen at football stadiums, is also absent from the Six Nations. Each season, the tournament brings memorable moments, and there’s always something on the line. For example, winning all five matches awards a team the coveted Grand Slam, while victories over fellow “home nations” (England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales) earn the Triple Crown. Additionally, its distinctive scoring system awards bonus points for winning margins and close losses, creating unpredictable, high-stakes matches. The teams share historic rivalries, so individual games like England vs Scotland (Calcutta Cup) and France vs Italy (Giuseppe Garibaldi Trophy) come with their own prizes. Meanwhile, if a team finishes bottom in the final table, they get the “Wooden Spoon”. The 2023 Six Nations drew over 121 million viewers globally, with fans consuming 737 million digital views—a 239% increase from the prior year. Social media engagement skyrocketed too, with 1.1 million hours of content viewed on YouTube and 1.17 billion social impressions. Broadcasts and new digital initiatives, like Netflix's embedded filming of “Six Nations: Full Contact”, have introduced a behind-the-scenes view, capturing more fans every year. What sets the Six Nations apart is the tournament’s blend of tradition, sportsmanship, and fierce competition.

Six Nations Championship History

 The Six Nations Championship, steeped in nearly 150 years of history, began in 1883 as the Home Nations Championship among England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, making it the oldest rugby tournament in the world. France joined in 1910, creating the Five Nations, and Italy’s 2000 inclusion completed the Six Nations lineup. England won the inaugural series in 1883 and dominated the first few decades. However, since the Second World War, no team has won the tournament more than four times in a row. Wales claimed the first recognised Grand Slam in 1908, followed by France’s first outright title in 1959, marking a turning point in Northern Hemisphere rugby. The tournament has seen unforgettable seasons. In 1973, all five teams won and lost two matches, leading to the first—and only—five-way tie in Championship history. The 1990s brought significant changes, with France winning the first-ever trophy-presented Championship in 1993, while Scotland won the final Five Nations title in 1999 before Italy joined. Throughout the modern era, the Six Nations has delivered iconic games and seasons. England’s Grand Slam in 2003 culminated in a massive 42-6 victory over Ireland and paved the way for their World Cup win that same year. In 2007, Italy won their first away game, defeating Scotland, and recorded two wins in a single season for the first time. The last two decades have brought plenty of drama. The 2009 finale between Wales and Ireland saw Ireland clinch their first Grand Slam in 61 years in dramatic style, narrowly defeating Wales 17-15. France’s Grand Slam in 2010 was equally impressive, as they dominated with a near-perfect campaign. In 2019, Wales, led by coach Warren Gatland, completed their third Grand Slam under his leadership, a feat no other coach has achieved in Six Nations history. The following year, the 2020 tournament was the longest yet, disrupted by the pandemic and culminating in a gripping “Super Saturday” in autumn, where England ultimately took the title. With Six Nations tickets you’ll be part of an international phenomenon, embodying both a deep sense of tradition and a reputation for delivering edge-of-your-seat drama.

1. England 38-38 Scotland (Twickenham, March 16, 2019)

 This unforgettable Calcutta Cup clash is widely considered one of the best Six Nations games ever played. England stormed to a 31-0 lead, only for Scotland to mount an incredible comeback, scoring 38 unanswered points, including tries from Finn Russell and Sam Johnson. England’s George Ford scored a last-minute try, clinching one of the highest-scoring draws in rugby history.

2. Wales 15-17 Ireland (Millennium Stadium, March 21, 2009)

 Ireland ended a 61-year wait for a Grand Slam in one of the most nail-biting finales in Six Nations history. With just minutes left, Stephen Jones’ drop goal put Wales in the lead. However, Ireland’s Ronan O’Gara responded with a stunning 78th-minute drop goal, grabbing victory and sealing a long-awaited Grand Slam.

3. France 32-30 Wales (Stade de France, March 20, 2021)

4. England 55-35 France (Twickenham, March 21, 2015)

 Dubbed “Super Saturday”, this high-stakes game was a barnstormer, with 90 points and 12 tries. England needed a 26-point win to claim the Championship.

5. Italy 22-21 France (Stadio Flaminio, March 12, 2011)

 Italy’s first-ever Six Nations win over France was a testament to their grit. Trailing 18-6, Italy stormed back with Andrea Masi’s try and Mirco Bergamasco’s precise kicking, securing a famous 22-21 victory. It cemented Italy’s place in the Six Nations history as a team capable of major upsets.
