Tickets for major sporting events

[boogaloo]

hi all,

Does anyone know where I might get a ticket for the Ireland V France six nations rugby game in Croke Park next February, without paying exhorbitant prices? It makes me so mad that the touts seem to have snapped up all the tickets again and are charging a small fortune for them - more than 3 times face value in some cases.
Any suggestions for a genuine fan looking to go?

Thanks.

Join a rugby club or supporters club.

Agreed. If you're joined a club there shouldn't be too much of a problem getting tickets for these matches.

Especially given the extra capacity for home matches, since they'll be held in Croke Park.

Does it matter what club I join? Was going to sign up for a season ticket for Connaught anyway as that is where I'm based.
Thanks.

Well I'd say you'd be lucky to get tickets through the Connacht supporters club or the Munster/Leinster supporters club but if you join up a local club you'll probably be fine.
