If you are traveling from sea level\, stay hydrated and be aware that alcohol can have a stronger effect!\n\n\n\nSafety: The area around Loftus is generally busy and safe on match days\, but always keep your valuables out of sight and stay within the main fan thoroughfares.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🔗 Helpful Links for Your Trip\n\n\n\n\nOfficial Bulls Website\n\n\n\nGreatest Rivalry Official Website\n\n\n\nGautrain Journey Planner\n\n\n\nTicketmaster South Africa\n\n\n\n\nExperience the passion of Loftus as the Bulls take on the All Blacks! 🇿🇦🇳🇿

This can be a good option for budget-conscious travellers or for routes not directly served by train.\n\n\n\nBooking Coach Tickets: Similar to trains\, booking in advance online will usually secure the best fares.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGeneral Travel Considerations for the Rugby World Cup:\n\n\n\n\nBook Early: Given the scale of the Rugby World Cup\, demand for flights\, trains\, and coaches will be high. Booking well in advance (especially for match days and popular routes) is crucial for securing availability and better prices.\n\n\n\nConsider Regional Airports: Don’t just focus on London. Flying into regional airports like Manchester\, Bristol\, or Newcastle can be more convenient and potentially cheaper if your primary match destinations are outside the capital.\n\n\n\nPublic Transport is Key: Stadium parking is often limited. Utilize the efficient public transport networks (trains\, trams\, buses) in and between host cities to get to matches. Plan your journeys to the stadiums well in advance.\n\n\n\nCheck Travel Documentation: Ensure your passport is valid. Depending on your nationality\, you may need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to enter the UK. Verify the latest requirements from the UK government well before your travel dates (e.g.\, eligible non-Europeans from January 2025\, eligible Europeans from April 2025).\n\n\n\nAllow Extra Time: Expect increased passenger numbers and potential delays at airports and transport hubs during the tournament. Factor in ample time for security checks\, connections\, and travel to venues on match days.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do I get tickets to the 2025 Rugby World Cup?\n\n\n\n\nOfficial Website: The primary and most reliable place to purchase tickets is through the official Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 ticketing website here.\n\n\n\nSales Windows: Tickets have been released in phases. While a significant number were sold in previous application phases (including priority windows for those who were unsuccessful in earlier ballots)\, more tickets went on sale in May 2025 on a first-come\, first-served basis. This included limited availability for popular matches like the final in London and England’s pool matches.\n\n\n\nPricing: Tickets are designed to be accessible\, with prices starting from as little as £10 for adults and £5 for children. Many seats are available under £25. For example\, a family of four can attend England’s opening match at the Stadium of Light from just £30.\n\n\n\nMatch Availability: Tickets are available across all matches\, though some high-demand games (like England’s pool matches against Samoa and Australia\, and the final at Twickenham) may have limited availability\, potentially requiring the purchase of ticket-inclusive experience packages.\n\n\n\n\nAn official resale platform is launching on June 24\, 2025\, also via the official ticketing website here. This platform allows fans who can no longer attend to securely sell their tickets at face value to other supporters\, ensuring a safe and legitimate buying process. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere to Stay during the 2025 Rugby World Cup\n\n\n\nFor attendees of the 2025 Rugby World Cup\, accommodation will be a key consideration given the spread of venues across England. Here’s a summary of where to stay\, categorized by venue locations: \n\n\n\nGeneral Accommodation Advice for the Rugby World Cup:\n\n\n\n\nBook Early: This is the most crucial advice. With 16 nations competing and a significant increase in capacity\, hotels and other accommodation options in host cities will fill up quickly\, especially for popular match weekends. Booking well in advance (as soon as your match tickets are secured) is highly recommended for the best prices and availability.\n\n\n\nConsider Transport Links: When choosing accommodation\, prioritize proximity to public transport (train stations\, bus stops\, Metro/tram lines) that offer easy access to the stadiums. Many stadiums are located on the outskirts of city centres.\n\n\n\nVariety of Options: England offers a wide range of accommodation\, from luxury hotels and boutique guesthouses to budget-friendly hotels\, self-catering apartments\, and B&Bs.\n\n\n\nExplore Beyond the City Centre: While city centres offer convenience for dining and nightlife\, consider staying slightly outside in well-connected suburbs for potentially better value.\n\n\n\n\nAccommodation Options by Venue Location:\n\n\n\n1. London (Twickenham Stadium) \n\n\n\n\nCentral London: Offers the widest range of hotels\, from luxury to budget. Excellent transport links (Underground\, National Rail) make it easy to get to Twickenham. However\, it can be expensive.\n\n\n\nTwickenham/Richmond Area: Staying closer to the stadium offers convenience for match days\, with a more village-like feel. Options include hotels\, guesthouses\, and self-catering apartments. Booking here will be highly competitive.\n\n\n\nWest London Suburbs (e.g.\, Hammersmith\, Kingston\, Putney): Good transport links to Twickenham and potentially more affordable than central London.\n\n\n\n\n2. Brighton & Hove (Brighton & Hove Albion Stadium) \n\n\n\n\nBrighton City Centre: A vibrant city with numerous hotels\, guesthouses\, and B&Bs\, especially near the seafront and The Lanes. It’s well-connected by bus to the stadium.\n\n\n\nHove: Often a quieter\, more residential option than central Brighton\, but still with good transport links to the stadium.\n\n\n\nCoastal Towns Nearby: Consider towns like Eastbourne or Worthing if you have a car or are willing to use regional train services\, though daily travel will add time.\n\n\n\n\n3. Bristol (Ashton Gate) \n\n\n\n\nBristol City Centre: Offers a wide array of hotels and guesthouses around the Harbourside and city centre. Good bus connections to Ashton Gate.\n\n\n\nClifton: An affluent area with boutique hotels and B&Bs\, known for its Georgian architecture and Clifton Suspension Bridge. Well-connected to the city centre.\n\n\n\nSouth Bristol: Some hotels and guesthouses closer to the stadium area\, which might be more convenient for match days.\n\n\n\n\n4. Exeter (Sandy Park) \n\n\n\n\nExeter City Centre: Various hotels\, guesthouses\, and B&Bs. Exeter Central and Exeter St David’s train stations provide easy access. Sandy Park has its own dedicated train station for match days.\n\n\n\nNear Sandy Park Stadium: Limited options\, but some hotels and guesthouses are available in the immediate vicinity or easily accessible by train.\n\n\n\n\n5. Manchester (Salford Community Stadium) \n\n\n\n\nManchester City Centre: A huge range of hotels\, apartments\, and hostels\, catering to all budgets. Excellent tram (Metrolink) and bus connections to Salford Quays and onward to the stadium.\n\n\n\nSalford Quays/MediaCityUK: Modern hotels and apartments are available here\, offering closer proximity to the stadium and a vibrant waterfront area.\n\n\n\nGreater Manchester: Consider staying in well-connected towns around Manchester if city centre prices are too high.\n\n\n\n\n6. Northampton (Franklin’s Gardens) \n\n\n\n\nNorthampton Town Centre: A selection of hotels and guesthouses. Franklin’s Gardens is typically a short taxi or bus ride from the town centre.\n\n\n\nSurrounding Areas: For those with a car\, there are options in nearby towns and villages that might offer a more rural experience.\n\n\n\n\n7. Sunderland (Stadium of Light) \n\n\n\n\nSunderland City Centre: Limited hotels and guesthouses directly in the city centre. The Stadium of Light is easily accessible via the Tyne and Wear Metro.\n\n\n\nNewcastle upon Tyne: Often a preferred base due to its larger variety of hotels\, vibrant nightlife\, and excellent transport links. Newcastle is just a short Metro journey from Sunderland and the Stadium of Light.\n\n\n\nDurham: A historic city south of Sunderland with beautiful hotels\, offering a different atmosphere\, but requiring a train journey to Sunderland.\n\n\n\n\n8. York (York Community Stadium) \n\n\n\n\nYork City Centre: A very popular tourist destination with a wide range of hotels\, guesthouses\, and B&Bs within the city walls. Regular bus services connect to the Community Stadium.\n\n\n\nNear York Community Stadium: Some newer hotels and larger chain hotels are located closer to the stadium area\, often with good access to the A64.\n\n\n\n\nRemember to consider the dates you plan to attend matches and research the best transport routes from your chosen accommodation to the specific stadiums. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\n\n\nRugby World Cup Official Website
