Irish sports fan are gearing up for a blockbuster week of sport across the Irish sea with Cheltenham and the chance to secure a Grand Slam taking centre stage in England. However, the clamour for tickets has resulted in the RFU warning fans against selling tickets to Irish fans on secondary markets.

The final Six Nations round sees Ireland travel to Twickenham knowing a win would secure a Grand Slam to go along with their Six Nations trophy. With Joe Schmidt's side on the cusp of their first Slam since 2009, Irish supporters are naturally keen to witness the game.

As a result, tickets have soared on reseller markets, with prices as high as €4,227 euro on certain sites.

In a bid to combat ticket touting, the RFU have a policy that any unwanted tickets must be sold through the official reseller or returned. Those reselling could face stadium bans.


Per the Telegraph, the RFU have issued a stern warning to any potential sellers.
