WHAT IS A JUNIOR TICKET?

Junior ticket prices are available in Silver and Bronze priced categories. 

WHAT IS A CONCESSION TICKET?

Where a concession ticket price is available with a ticket price category, the following cardholders are eligible for a concession ticket (proof of eligibility must be presented upon request): Full-time secondary or tertiary student cards, excluding student cards from institutions based outside Australia; Department of Veterans’ Affairs Card, TPO or Department of Veterans’ Affairs issued Pensioner Concession Card; Commonwealth Senior Health Care Card; Government-issued Pensioner Concession Card; Government-issued Health Care Card.

Only the cardholder is entitled to the concession priced ticket, not any dependents listed on the card.

WHAT IS A FAMILY TICKET?

A family ticket consists of four tickets that allow either 1 adult and 3 children aged 4-16 years, or 2 adults and 2 children aged 4-16 years of age, to enter the match with a valid ticket. Each ticketholder must scan into the venue with their own unique ticket.

Family tickets are available in Silver and Bronze priced categories for non-Test Matches. 

MY CHILD IS AGED YOUNGER THAN 4 YEARS OLD. DO THEY NEED A TICKET?

Infants under 4 years of age at the day of the scheduled match are entitled to enter a venue without a paid ticket but must not occupy a seat. There may only be one infant per adult lap.

WHAT HAPPENS ONCE I COMPLETE MY TICKET PURCHASE?

Ticketholders will receive immediate confirmation via email of their ticket order once completed. Please note that ticketholders will receive tickets closer to the event.

ARE GROUP BOOKINGS AVAILABLE?

Group booking requests can be submitted here. Please note, group bookings are NOT available for the Lions v Wallabies Test Matches.

All group booking requests are subject to availability and Rugby AU approval. Based on the information supplied, Rugby AU will approve or decline your application to purchase as a group.

Group booking tickets CANNOT be used commercially or incorporated into travel packages.

Group booking requests are available until 8 days prior to each match (subject to availability).

Please note, bookings will not be confirmed until payment has been received in full.

WHY AM I SEEING A QUEUE/WAITING ROOM PAGE WHEN BUYING TICKETS?

Demand for the Lions Tour is expected to be high. If you are seeing a busy queue/lounge page, it means many people are after tickets at the same time as you and a queue system has been implemented to assist ticket purchasers. Please remain on the page and don’t refresh your browser – the page refreshes itself frequently to let more fans through to purchase tickets. 

WHY IS THERE A TIMER WHEN I AM TRYING TO BUY TICKETS?

Due to high demand or website traffic, a time limit may be implemented during the checkout process. This gives as many people as possible a chance to purchase tickets.

TIP: To speed through the checkout process, login to your Ticketek/Ticketmaster (pending the match you are buying) account in advance.

WHAT DOES ‘ALLOCATION EXHAUSTED’ MEAN?

When all general public tickets currently available for a match have been allocated to ticketholders, the match will display as "Allocation Exhausted".

For matches where general public ticket allocations have been exhausted, Hospitality or Travel packages may still be available. 

Join Team Rugby to receive updates should more tickets become available for any match. A second ticket allocation is expected to be made available in late 2024. Please note that joining Team Rugby does not guarantee a ticket nor does it constitute a booking.

WHICH PAYMENT METHODS ARE ACCEPTED?

General public tickets can be paid for using VISA, Mastercard, American Express or Afterpay (a form of payment that allows you to pay off your tickets through instalments – conditions apply). 

WHAT IS A SOUVENIR TICKET?

A Souvenir Ticket is a limited-edition collectable item designed exclusively for The British & Irish Lions 2025 Series that can be selected when purchasing tickets. Select the Souvenir Ticket price type when purchasing tickets to receive a piece of history for this epic Tour.

NB: If you elected to purchase a Souvenir Ticket(s), they will be posted closer to the event date to the address supplied while purchasing your ticket. Souvenir Tickets are a memento only and NOT a barcoded ticket into the event. Your barcoded mobile ticket will be your ticket to access the venue.

ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL TRANSACTION OR DELIVERY FEES? 

There is a per transaction charge fee. This charge is only applied per transaction, so whether you purchase 1 or 4 tickets in a single transaction you will only ever pay one fee. Transaction fees vary for each venue and will be a maximum of $9.95.

The transaction charge covers various expenses associated with taking, processing and fulfilling your order, as well as the costs associated with supporting the technology that facilitates the purchase and scanning of tickets for every match.
