Ticket bonanza for British and Irish lions



[ad_1]

The offer will exceed ticket purchase demand for the British & Irish Lions’ eight-game rugby extravaganza in South Africa in 2021.

But don’t stress about not receiving your application on time. It runs from today Wednesday at 10:30 am (SA time) on September 2 until Wednesday at 23:59 pm (SA time) on September 16.

REMINDER: Sign up for interest in tickets to the 2021 British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa to qualify for the ballot

It is the biggest rugby show of the year and one of the biggest sporting occasions of 2021.

155,000 have already visited South Africa’s official online site and 53,000 have signed up to purchase tickets.

That is why this is not a one-day buying exercise, but a two-week event in preparation for the world’s biggest rugby show in 2021.

If you register between September 2 and 16, you have the same chances of buying a ticket.

However, entering the ticket does not entitle you or guarantee you a ticket.

This is not a first come, first serve system.

The ticket ballot, as recognized for all elite world sporting events, is the fairest allocation of tickets, so don’t worry if you haven’t submitted your application within the first hour. You have until 11:59 p.m. (SA time) on September 16.

There are eight matches to request and you can request a maximum of eight tickets per match. Again, this does not guarantee that you will get what you asked for.

By the end of September you will know if your entry request has been successful.

Please note that if you are a South African resident or a resident outside the UK and Europe, the only place to request tickets for any of the eight tour matches is via the ticket on the official https: // tickets site. lionstour2021 .co.za /

If you are a South African resident in South Africa, tickets purchased outside of the official South African online site will not be recognized. This also applies to residents of the UK and Europe, who must apply on the official Lions Tour site www.lionsrugby.com

Applicants in South Africa will need to use the ballot to request tickets for their preferred match, category and number of tickets.

Once the ballot request phase has been completed, the drawing will take place through a computerized selection process and applicants will be notified of the result of the vote.

* Please note that when you enter the ballot from September 1 to September 16, due to anticipated high demand, you may be placed in a queue before entering the ticket platform. This will show up as Queuelt. Please note that 200 visitors will be accommodated every minute. You do not lose if you are in the Queue, since you have until September 16 to request tickets.

The way the Queuelt system works is that as soon as it is your turn, you will automatically be allowed to request tickets.

It is recommended to enter your email address at the bottom of the page to be notified when it is your turn in the queue.

Clicking on the link in the email will take you back to your place in real time in the queue.

You must log in within 30 minutes once it is your turn, otherwise you will have to rejoin at the end of the queue.

Do not close your browser while waiting, as you may lose your place in the queue.

The British & Lions, who tour South Africa every 12 years, will play their first game against the Stormers at Cape Town Stadium on July 3, 2021 and the eighth and final game is the third test against the Springboks on August 7 at the Emirates Airline Park. in Johannesburg.
