Rugby is a sport played outdoors on an oval park with fifteen players to a team. It is a form of contact sport and each team tries to make points by passing and kicking the football behind the team’s goal post. The other team must impede this attempt. This sport has become a popular spectator sport and tickets rugby are always wanted.
Rugby union has developed into an world sport, with nations across the globe establishing national leagues. The sport has achieved especial popularity and esteem in nations such as England, Australia, Wales, France and New Zealand. With the increasing internationalization of the sport, there is a growing focus on international games where nations play against each other for the honor of being the most excellent in the world. These global games - and the tickets rugby - encourage a international audience.
The exact beginnings of football are unknown, although games involving kicking and passing a football would have been known for some time. The rules of rugby, however, were first written down in the English town of Rugby in 1845. Although the sport was codified so that rules governed its play, rugby players supported the value of amateurism. Where different sports encouraged the professionalism of the sport with players who did the sport for a living; rugby union did not become a ‘professional’ sport until 1995. Although an ‘amateur’ sport until 1995, tickets rugby have been sold for as long as the sport has been in existence.
The global matches are arguably one of the most highly regarded types of games in rugby and the huge amount of tickets rugby sold are proof of that. There are three premier global championships: the Tri Nations series, which is played by Australia, New Zealand and South Africa in the southern hemisphere; the Six Nations Championship, played by England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France and Italy and the Rugby World Cup, the only truly internationalworldwide rugby competiton.
Every year, greater and greater tickets rugby are purchased across the plane as international matches become ever more watched. The earliest global game in rugby history was the so-called “Home Nations” games that began in 1883 with England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Gradually, this developed into the Five Nations Championship with the addition of France in 1910 and then the Six Nations Championship with the addition of Italy in 2000. The southern hemisphere version is the Tri Nations Series, which has its origins in the informal games between Australia and New Zealand, which began in 1903. South Africa toured both nations in 1921 but the informal games did not become a formalized global match until 1996.
The Six Nations Championship has been superseded by the Rugby World Cup as the leading global event, from its first game in 1987. Although a belated inclusion on the global rugby scene, more than two million rugby tickets were purchased in 2007, which easily compares with the amount of tickets rugby sold to other worldside matches.
The set-up of the global matches varies between each match. Both the Six Nations Championship and Tri Nations Series are held every year and tickets rugby run out fast. However, where in the Six Nations Championship each side plays every other team once; in the Tri Nations each team plays the other three times, with the championship winner decided on a points system. The Rugby World Cup is held every four years and the twenty involved countries go through two stages: a group and a knock-out. The next Cup for which rugby tickets will be sold is in 2011, when the World Cup will be held in New Zealand.
