Complete farce. We applied for 16 tickets to the two minor games in Brighton and got 4/32 between us.

Bizarrely, I did manage to get a pair to England v Wales though. I now am short one upper and one lower appendage mind...

Why is that a farce. I think there are hundreds of thousands wanting to go the Eng Wales. You are one of the lucky ones.

The farce is that within minutes of the ballots closing, tens of thousands of tickets appeared on Seatwave etc at 400%+ markup. The touts have captured the market.

Either prevent re-selling a la Olympics-style ID controls, or make it a full-on auction. This halfway house just invites gouging.

Gouging=touting?
I bet you those tickets on seat wave aren't yet available and are subject to withdraw and refund. I agree that you should have your name on them and prove your identity if challenged.
When I SAW A Serie A game we had to take passports (for 6,000 at Siena)!

I'm in the queue for General Sale tickets, not hopeful.
