England Rugby (RFU)

What you get

The 2025 series gives ticket rights until 31 August 2035, while loan repayment is scheduled for 31 August 2100. Individual holders must belong to a qualifying RFU-affiliated club or constituent body throughout the ticket-rights period; social club membership counts. Would-be buyers can join the interest list or arrange an approved private transfer. Buying now does not reopen the 2027 Six Nations booking window, which closed in September 2026.

One debenture gives its registered holder the right to buy one seat ticket for eligible England senior men’s home internationals at Allianz Stadium. Tickets cost face value and must be booked within the RFU’s purchase windows.

Which matches count

The right covers England men’s home internationals staged by the RFU at Allianz Stadium, including the Six Nations and Nations Championship home matches. It excludes Rugby World Cup matches and other events the RFU does not organise and control. No fixture count is promised. Red Roses matches have advance sales rather than the same reserved-seat arrangement; other events depend on their organisers and available allocations.

An allocated seat can change

The RFU allocates a seat but can move it for operational reasons or a changed stadium layout.

Lounges depend on the package

The Clubhouse, Union Ale House and South Stand Lounge options include their respective facility access. Food and drink in The Clubhouse and Union Ale House cost extra, and Clubhouse Restaurant tables need advance booking. A ticket elsewhere in the stadium does not grant access to those East Stand facilities.

Events, travel and discounts

The RFU advertises invitations to debenture-holder events, priority access to official travel packages, and partner and retail discounts. Its debenture pages give no discount rate and promise no particular event.

Sharing tickets and using the exchange

Friends and family can use tickets with the holder’s permission, but the holder remains responsible for their conduct. Tickets must not be sold for profit or listed on resale sites. The RFU operates its own Ticket Exchange for selected matches.

What it takes

You need at least one debenture.

An individual must remain a fully paid-up member of a qualifying RFU-affiliated club or constituent body throughout the benefits period; social club membership qualifies. An RFU member club or constituent body can also hold debentures itself.

The debenture

Instrument

75-year unsecured, interest-free debenture

Issuer

Rugby Football Union

Repayment due

Repayment terms

The RFU can repay early under the terms. If it redeems a debenture because of bankruptcy, gross or persistent breaches, or failure to confirm qualifying membership, it can deduct an Early Redemption Charge for its assessed losses and costs.

Transfers

The RFU must approve each private transfer and can refuse it. The buyer must meet the membership conditions; transfers to an intermediary acting as a debenture broker or dealer are not permitted. The RFU does not act as a broker.

How to get one

Waiting list 

Register interest with the RFU. The issuer says a limited number become available each season and contacts people on its list when a debenture becomes available. Availability and allocation are not guaranteed.

Private transfer 

An existing holder and buyer may agree their own price, subject to RFU approval and eligibility checks. The RFU suggests contacting your rugby club if you need to find a buyer; it does not arrange the transaction.

How to claim

The RFU records one registered holder per debenture. Transfers need the applicable RFU form, certificate and any evidence it requests of ownership and eligibility.

1. 1. Confirm your qualifying membershipTell the RFU which club or constituent body you belong to and supply confirmation when it asks. Keep that membership fully paid up throughout your ticket-rights period.
2. 2. Check the certificate before agreeing a priceAsk the RFU to confirm the certificate’s series, original loan amount, remaining ticket rights and any unpaid instalments.
3. 3. Submit the transfer documentsAsk the RFU which transfer form applies to the certificate, then upload the signed documents as PDFs through its Submit a Request service. The published 2026 process normally runs on the first Monday of each month, with bank-holiday exceptions. Confirm the actual processing date and submission cutoff with the Debenture Team.
4. 4. Book and pay within each ticket windowFollow the RFU’s emailed instructions and use your England Rugby online ticketing account. If you miss a window, the RFU can sell the ticket to someone else.
5. 5. Check the match’s digital-ticket instructionsFor the 2027 Six Nations, the RFU says tickets arrive in the Allianz Stadium App within 48 hours of purchase. Follow the instructions for your event and keep your contact details current.

England Rugby debenture information 

Dates

Record date

The RFU must register the holder and accept its required eligibility evidence. Match ticket purchase windows are separate from transfer approval.

Claim deadline

The RFU sets a purchase window for each match or series. The reserved-seat window for the 2027 Guinness Six Nations closed at 5pm on 16 September 2026; later purchases depend on availability.

Benefit rights from

1 September 2025

Benefit rights until

31 August 2035

Practical notes

The 2027 Six Nations window has passed

The September 2026 deadline covered that competition’s reserved seats. Later additional-ticket sales depend on availability and use the RFU’s Standard prices rather than the Entitlement prices from the reserved-seat window. Ask what remains available before relying on a new holding for those matches.

Missing an instalment can forfeit payments

If you buy from the RFU by instalments, missing one can forfeit your deposit and earlier payments and cancel the allocation.

Keep repayment contact details up to date

If the RFU cannot locate the holder after reasonable efforts for 60 days following the loan term, its repayment obligation lapses. If the holder later contacts it and requests repayment, the terms say the RFU would pay the principal as an ex gratia payment.

Published prices and private purchases

The listed amounts are the RFU’s published prices, not confirmed availability or private resale quotes. For the 2025 series, the repayable loan equals the original subscription amount agreed with the RFU, allowing for any issue discount. A transferred certificate’s loan can therefore differ from both prices. Its 2025-series ticket rights still end in 2035, whenever you buy it; another series may have different dates.
