NCaliNewbie will become famous soon enough
Rugby Sevens

I've never been but I hear it's a blast. I know the tickets are all sold out, but I hear that there will be lots of scalpers selling outside the venue.

What I am wondering is, does anyone know the reasonable price for a ticket from a scalper? I know that there are tickets going for resale online for crazy markups (around GBP 400-500 for all 3 days), I'm hoping that the scalpers will be much, much cheaper.

Anyone have any experience with this?

The scalpers are generally cheaper outside the stadiums - usually they're not even scalpers, a lot of them are genuine owners who cannot make it on that day and want to get rid of the tickets.

Good locations .. outside the stadium near the entrances, in the rugby village outside the stadium.

Hi KnowItAll
Has Geoxpat organised a group to go to the Sevens?
I've was given a ticket this morning great but only one ticket means going on my own, which is a bit sad!
Was wondering if anyone from Geoxpat going and if I could join?
Thanks for letting me know.

Unfortunately, we've not had the time and energy to do an event this year.

I'll be busy drinking in Lan Kwai Fong away from the madness.

Sorry!!

Talking Rugby Sevens

Hi Jyotee,
Which day are you going? My brother and I will be going Saturday around 2pm and it'll be our first time, so don't really know what to expect, other than really loud and drunk people...and a bunch of guys chasing after a ball ha ha should be fun
