Mike Miller, Managing Director of Rugby World Cup Ltd said: “The interest in tickets for Rugby World Cup 2007 is building significantly and supporters obtaining hospitality tickets from unofficial sources should be aware that they run the risk of having those tickets cancelled, being refused entry or being rejected from the stadium. Therefore our message is that rugby supporters should only purchase hospitality packages from officially authorised hospitality agents.”

All of the above agents have met rigorous selection criteria and are able to guarantee the delivery of Rugby World Cup Ltd match tickets as part of their official hospitality packages. Unofficial sellers not authorised by Rugby World Cup may be unable to provide the tickets they purport to sell and such unofficial tickets are liable to cancellation.
