Irb Warns England Fans Over Tickets
The International Rugby Board has warned England rugby fans not to buy tickets
for Saturday’s World Cup semi-final against France from Australia and New
Zealand supporters whose teams were surprisingly knocked out of the tournament.
The IRB has stated not all tickets are transferable, which means some fans
who choose to purchase tickets via this route may not get in.
Following the quarter-final win over Australia, around 40,000 English fans
are expected to head to Paris for the clash with France.
The IRB has already put an extra 2,000 tickets on sale for the match but had
more than 3m hits on its website from interested fans.
Many more fans are expected to travel to the French capital hoping to buy
tickets at the ground.
England will take on France at the 80,000-capacity Stade de France at 8pm on
Saturday night.
