Union is a sport played outside on an oval park with fifteen players to a team. It is a type of contact sport and each team tries to gain a goal by throwing and kicking the footy behind the team’s goal post. The other team must impede this aim. This sport has become a popular spectator sport and tickets rugby are constantly wanted.
Football has become an world sport, with nations across the world establishing national teams. The sport has attained notable fame and esteem in nations such as England, Australia, Wales, France and New Zealand. With the increasing internationalization of the sport, there is an increasing focus on global games where countries play against each other for the reward of being the best in the world. These global games - and the tickets rugby - attract a international audience.
The precise beginnings of rugby union are unknown, although games involving kicking and throwing a footy would have been in existence for some time. The rules of union, however, were first written down in the English town of Rugby in 1845. Although the sport was codified so that rules governed its play, union players advocated the principle of amateurism. Where different sports encouraged the professionalism of the sport with team members who played the sport for a living; union did not become a ‘professional’ sport until 1995. Although an ‘amateur’ sport until 1995, tickets rugby have been sold for as long as the sport has been around.
The global matches are perhaps one of the most popular types of games in union and the growing amount of tickets rugby sold are a testament to that. There are three known global competitions: the Tri Nations series, which is played by Australia, New Zealand and South Africa in the southern hemisphere; the Six Nations Championship, played by England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France and Italy and the Rugby World Cup, the only truly global union game.
Every year, more and more tickets rugby are bought throughout the plane as international matches become increasingly famous. The earliest global game in union history was the so-called “Home Nations” games that started in 1883 with England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Gradually, this became the Five Nations Championship with the addition of France in 1910 and then the Six Nations Championship with the addition of Italy in 2000. The southern hemisphere equivalent is the Tri Nations Series, which has its origins in the informal games between Australia and New Zealand, which began in 1903. South Africa toured both nations in 1921 but the informal games did not become a official global match until 1996.
The Six Nations Championship has been supplanted by the Rugby World Cup as the premier global game, from its beginning match in 1987. Although a belated development on the global union scene, more than two million tickets rugby were bought in 2007, which easily compares with the amount of tickets rugby sold to other worldside matches.
The arrangement of the global matches changes between each series. Both the Six Nations Championship and Tri Nations Series are held yearly and tickets rugby sell out fast. However, where in the Six Nations Championship each team competes against every other team once; in the Tri Nations each team plays the other three times, with the championship victor decided on a points system. The Rugby World Cup is held every four years and the twenty member teams go through two stages: a group and a knock-out. The next Cup for which tickets rugby will be sold is in 2011, when the World Cup will be held in New Zealand.
