Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008Rugby is a sport played outdoors on an oval park with fifteen players to a team. It is a type of contact sport and each team tries to gain points by passing and kicking the ball behind the team’s home line. The other team must prevent this attempt. This sport has become a well-loved spectator game and tickets rugby are constantly sought after.
Union has become an world sport, with countries across the globe establishing national teams. The sport has achieved especial fame and importance in countries such as England, Australia, Wales, France and New Zealand. With the increasing internationalization of the sport, there is a growing focus on global games where nations play against each other for the prize of being the greatest in the world. These worldwide games - and the tickets rugby - encourage a global audience.
The exact beginnings of rugby union are unknown, although games involving kicking and passing a ball would have been known for some time. The rules of rugby union, however, were first laid down in the English town of Rugby in 1845. Although the sport was codified so that rules controlled its play, rugby union players supported the principle of amateurism. Where other sports encouraged the professionalism of the game with team members who did the game for a living; union did not become a ‘professional’ game until 1995. Although an ‘amateur’ sport until 1995, tickets rugby have been sold for as long as the sport has been played.
The worldwide games are perhaps one of the most highly regarded forms of games in rugby union and the great amount of tickets rugby sold are a testament to that. There are three elite worldwide games: 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 union championship.
Every year, more and more tickets rugby are purchased across the globe as global games become increasingly watched. The earliest worldwide game in rugby union history was the so-called “Home Nations” matches that were created 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 equivalent is the Tri Nations Series, which has its origins in the informal matches between Australia and New Zealand, which began in 1903. South Africa toured both nations in 1921 but the informal matches did not become a official worldwide match until 1996.
The Six Nations Championship has been surpassed by the Rugby World Cup as the most elite worldwide event, from its first match in 1987. Although a belated inclusion on the worldwide rugby union scene, more than two million tickets rugby were sold in 2007, which easily compares with the amount of tickets rugby purchased for other global games.
The format of the worldwide games varies between every event. Both the Six Nations Championship and Tri Nations Series are held yearly and tickets rugby run out swiftly. 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 overall champion decided on a points system. The Rugby World Cup is held every four years and the twenty member countries go through two stages: a group and a knock-out. The next Cup for which tickets rugby will be sold is in 2011, when the World Cup will be held in New Zealand.
