Message from Steve Giles - Rams International Ticket Officer
Whilst the autumn may seem a long way away I am pleased to let you know you can now apply for match tickets for England’s 2024 Autumn International fixtures.
Click HERE for the link to the application form.
The fixtures at Twickenham are as follows:
England v New Zealand – Saturday 2 November (3.10pm)
England v Australia – Saturday 9 November (3.10pm)
England v South Africa – Saturday 16 November (5.40pm)
England v Japan – Sunday 24 November (4.10pm)
Applications
Only paid-up full members may apply for International tickets – the tickets will not be released until next season’s membership is paid.
Members wishing to apply for tickets should complete the attached form and send it to me, Steve Giles, via email: stevegiles8@gmail.com, by midnight on Saturday 25th May 2024.
The application form shows the pricing for the matches at the ‘entitlement’ ticket price that Clubs have access to during the initial purchase window. Should additional tickets become available to us after the initial purchase window these will be at standard prices.
Ballots
It is anticipated that the three matches against Australia, South Africa and New Zealand will require a ballot to be held.
At this stage only adult tickets will be available for the three matches above. I have sourced some child tickets for the Japan game and I am hopeful that I will be able to access additional child-priced tickets at later stages in the process - please do mark on your application whether or not you would like child tickets and I will do what I can to obtain these once the initial ballot has been satisfied
If members are successful in the ballot then they will be allocated a pair of tickets at the adult prices
I will aim to match successful applicants with tickets in the category applied for, but inevitably this will not be possible for everyone
I will contact successful applicants with details of the tickets being offered to them. The members can then accept or decline them at that point
Once you have accepted your allocated tickets the Club fully expects that you will purchase all tickets that you have applied for and that have been allocated to you
Payment
Please note that the 1997 AGM voted unanimously that those members receiving tickets should make a donation to Club funds. The current sum of £10 per ticket was set by the Committee in the season 2014/15 and has been maintained since then.
Successful applicants will have until midnight on Wednesday 21st August to have made payment to the Club and have their tickets confirmed – this is to ensure that the Club has the funds to make payment to the RFU when they become due.
Payment details will be sent to successful applicants along with details of their ticket allocations.
Tickets
Tickets will be distributed to members electronically via the Twickenham Stadium app.
To enable this approach, it is vital that you include your email address and mobile phone number in the application. The link to download the Twickenham Stadium app for iPhone and Android is below

As a final reminder, tickets must not be sold on at a profit or indeed to people not known to you. The RFU have access through the e-ticketing system to track the number of times a ticket has changed hands and work actively to stop touting. I also have access to this information for Rams RFC tickets as the International Tickets Secretary. The penalties are significant if a member is found to have caused this – even inadvertently, with the Club potentially facing a ten year ban from receiving tickets.
I look forward to supporting as many members as possible with International Tickets this season, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if anything requires clarification.
Yours faithfully,
Steve
