Club Ticket Access

We’re making some changes to how clubs purchase tickets for international matches from April 2026.

As part of a wider review of all ticket sales for Scottish Rugby events, we’ve taken the opportunity to simplify the current club ticket process and ensure access is aligned with clubs and organisations that are actively supporting the growth and development of the game.

The same number of tickets will be available for clubs to buy, however, ticket limits are set per member not per club this time – more details below.

Our aim is simple: to make club ticket access clearer and easier to manage, while keeping tickets in the hands of genuine supporters and away from touts and those who exploit ticket prices through the secondary market.

What this means for your club

 

Club ticket access will be based on a tiered eligibility model

  • Playing clubs, recognised referee societies, and partner universities will continue to be eligible
  • Non‑playing clubs and organisations will no longer have access to the club ticket scheme

 

The purchasing process will be simpler

  • No reservation forms, allocations, or invoicing
  • Eligible members will buy tickets directly via a purchase link and secure access code

 

Tickets will be issued digitally by Scottish Rugby

  • All tickets will be delivered through the official ticketing app direct to the ticket buyer (no need for clubs to distribute tickets to ticket buyers)
  • Payment will be taken at the point of purchase

 

There will be anti- tout measures applied across all Scottish Rugby tickets going forward

  • Limits on ticket quantities per match
  • Restricted ticket transfers
  • Action taken where tickets are resold or misused

 

Tickets will be available to buy during an exclusive club onsale from 7 May 2026 to 17 May 2026 and will be available via purchase link and secure access code. This is a change from how tickets have been purchased in the past and is designed to reduce administration for clubs and volunteers.

We will host a live webinar soon to take you through the new process. The webinar will be recorded, so don’t worry if you can’t make the live date, you can watch on demand whenever you want.

Ticket Terms & conditions can be found here.

FAQs

  • Why are we making these changes?

    The existing club ticket process has become increasingly manual and complex for all parties.

    These changes will help us to:

    • Reduce administration for clubs and volunteers
    • Align club ticket access more closely with rugby participation and game development
    • Reduce the risk of tickets appearing on secondary markets
  • Who is eligible for club ticket access under the new policy?

    From April 2026, club ticket access will be available to:

    • Playing clubs and recognised referee societies actively growing the game
    • Universities with formal rugby development partnerships

    Non‑playing clubs and organisations will no longer be eligible for the club ticket scheme.

  • How will the new purchasing process work?
    • Club Ticket Secretaries update their ticket portals to add all new members and include latest contact name and email for current members (please note all member details must match the details held in their Scottish Rugby ticketing account)
    • Club Ticket Secretaries receive an exclusive secure access code for each fixture along with a purchase link
    • The link can be shared with eligible club members only
    • Members purchase tickets directly via the purchase link and by inputting the secure access code at the point of purchase
    • Payment is taken at checkout
    • Tickets are issued digitally via the official ticketing app to the member directly

    There will be no manual reservations, allocations, or invoicing.

    Clubs will be given access to purchase tickets during an exclusive club on sale from 7 May 2026 to 17 May 2026. Purchase links and secure access codes will only be active during this onsale and will expire on completion of the sales phase.

  • Will there be ticket limits on purchases per match?

    Yes, this is the same across all Scottish Rugby ticket types and fixtures, to help protect fairness and reduce misuse:

    • Limits will apply to the number of tickets that can be purchased per transaction
    • This may vary on a fixture‑by‑fixture basis
  • Can tickets be transferred?

    Yes, tickets can be transferred but this will be restricted.

    • At least one ticket per order must remain non‑transferable in the purchaser’s app
    • Transfers outside the permitted process are not allowed
  • Can club tickets be resold?

    No. Club tickets must not be:

    • Resold
    • Sold via secondary ticketing sites
    • Used for commercial or non‑genuine purposes
  • What happens if tickets are resold?

    Where there is evidence of ticket resale, Scottish Rugby may:

     

  • Will clubs still receive the same number of tickets?

    The same number of tickets will be available for clubs to buy, however, ticket limits are set per member not per club this time.

    The purchase link and secure access code enables access to an exclusive allocation of tickets only for club members. This is a protected allocation that only club members can purchase from (general public cannot access this allocation).

    All tickets are subject to availability, eligibility and compliance with the policy.

  • When will these changes take effect?

    The new policy and purchasing process will apply from April 2026 onwards. Further details and timings will be communicated ahead of implementation.
