Bath game at Twickenham

Post by DigDag »

Just managed to wangle a weekend off work for the Bath game at Twickenham. Just wondering if anyone is able to advise on where the Tigers fans are likely to be congregating in the stadium. Poor decision in my opinion, not having the game down at The Rec and forcing us to deal with a ticket agency. Still, I would like to get down there if possible but would prefer to be surrounded by the right-coloured shirts. Thanks for your help.

Hi. I bought tickets, along with quite a few Tigers ' fans on Black Friday. I would imagine there will be some red,green and white in most areas. 40,000 tickets have been sold so far so it should be a great atmosphere because at the Finals in the past the two clubs in the final only had between 10 and 15,000 tickets. Lots of my mates going and we are all in different parts of the Middle tier! Hope you get tickets at a decent price. Before then we need to beat Sarries then Saints!!! ( I don't think the club had an allocation of tickets- hence there should be Tigers ' fans in most areas.) Finally the Bath fans at The Rec have always been a friendly lot, no doubt helped by the few wins we have had down there. They do like to remind us of our recent heavy defeats there but now we can mention the Anglo Welsh win there!

If you have an American Express card (or someone you know has) you can save 10% on the price via their rewards site as well as having access to some better seats not on public sale (if they've not gone already).

Tickets available on Groupon, just check they are actually cheaper but at £16 odd I would imagine so.

Yes unfortunately Tigers were not given an allocation of tickets so we were left to search Ticketmaster, Groupon & direct from Bath Ticket office. The Groupon tickets appear very hit & miss as I could not find the empty/available seats on their stadium plan but their Adult Cat B tickets are £26-25.
As much as I hate it I searched the Bath website and this easily told me the empty seats, there are lots of single seats but few group seats, then phoned up on Bath's expensive line 0844 448 1865 as the normal number 01225 325200 does not now do ticket sales!!! I hate these 0844 rip off numbers :smt013
I was able to purchase the seats I identified pay by card, expect an email confirmation & tickets in 2 weeks. Cat B Adults @ £25 each + £1 postage.
Expect severe travel problems as the Bath to Paddington line is on part closure for electrification works,Quins v Sarries @ Wembley + Wendyballers.
Hope this helps, not sure what JohntheGriff is doing on travel but a coach is going from Rugby.

Wormus I think you'll find that Ticketmaster is owned by the Groupon group if you get my meaning. So ticket prices should be the same.

The tickets will be cheap because Sarries play Quins the same day at Wembley so they are trying to fill it as much as possible!

Who's the genius who planned that!? Surely it would have been beneficial to both 'home' clubs to have had them on different days and both be able to attract casual fans in London, rather than make them choose. Madness!

Exactly. So casual fans would have been more likely to come to Twickenham if the games were on different days.

Could have made it a 'double header' at Twickers as they have done in the past?

The double header is the first match of the season plus Sarries will not go to Twickenham out of choice.

Iain if you are equating the term genius either to the people who run the Aviva premiership or the RFU then you have a long wait, They kowtow these days to Sky and BTTV because he who pays the piper calls the tune and commonsense flies out of the window.

What do these matches have to do with the RFU? Twickenham is purely a venue the RFU have no say in where clubs pay to play their matches
