Quote ="Thoth":1hkcdh9rAre you sure about this. Typically 1/8 go directly to commercial clients, the more popular fixtures 70 - 90% are distributed within the game.
"If a club fails to sell it's allocation for a particular game then they don't get any the next time it's their turn. This means if you get tickets for a game against Canada you have to sell them or you won't get tickets for a big game against New Zealand. So it's in their interests to make sure people from within the club buy them.'"
It may have changed since but I remember very clearly reading the details direct from the RFU about four years ago. Half the tickets went to corporates.
You've misunderstood the second part. Amateur clubs are allocated tickets on a rota basis, and are expected to sell them all via their membership. If they don't sell them all then the RFU don't give them tickets the next time it's their turn.
