Just the ticket for Scottish Rugby

Tuesday, 21 Oct, 2013 0

Viagogo will sponsor this year’s November Scottish rugby international matches at Murrayfield in Edinburgh, which will now be branded the viagogo Autumn Tests.

The matches will be played against Japan (November 9), South Africa (November 17) and Australia (November 23).

Tickets are available at http://www.viagogo.co.uk and http://www.scottishrugby.org.

Headquartered in Switzerland, viagogo is the world’s largest ticket marketplace. According to its website, viagogo’s secure online ticket marketplace has tickets to thousands of sports and entertainment events, "even if they are sold out at the box office".

As the official secondary ticketing partner of Scottish Rugby, viagogo will also provide fans with a secure and guaranteed platform on which to buy and sell tickets safely for the viagogo Autumn Tests and all of Scotland’s home matches over the three-year sponsorship period.

Oliver Wheeler, global head of communications at viagogo, said: “This partnership marks a number of milestones for our business, as it’s our first with a sport’s governing body, our first in Scotland and our first with branding rights.

"It is also the first of what we hope will be many partnerships with sport governing bodies."

Scottish Rugby’s chief executive, Mark Dodson, calling the sponsorship deal "good news for Scottish Rugby financially", said: “In the past, if you bought a ticket and were unable to attend the game, you weren’t allowed to resell that ticket.

"This deal gives us a significant extra outlet for tickets, extends our international reach in some of our biggest expat markets and gives supporters who can no longer come to a game the opportunity to recoup their outlay within our revised ticket sale terms and conditions.”

Viagogo, which offers its service in nearly 50 countries, provides a guarantee that buyers will receive the tickets they bought in time for the event and sellers will get paid.

In sport, viagogo works with more than 30 European football clubs, such as Chelsea, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as the French Open and the ATP World Tour Finals.
