Good news/Bad news.
The good news is that I've got tickets to watch England vs Italy in the 6 Nations this March.:D
The bad news is that I've just got a hospital "date" that means I won't be able to go.
I can kiss goodbye to the cost of the flights, but hopeflly I'll be able to get something back for the tickets............but I've got a nagging doubt in the back of my mind about reselling them on.
I've never, ever had to show ID when going to a rugby match in the UK or France to show that the person named on the ticket is me, but I've seen on a football forum that you need to have your ID handy to match against your ticket.
Has anyone gone to a 6 Nations match in Rome and if so, did you have to show any form of ID before entering the Stadio Olimpico ?

I've never ever had to show ID at a 6N game, and I've been going since 1980.I've been to Rome a few times, but to Stadio Flaminio not Stadio Olimpico.
Football is VERY different, with all the issues of hooliganism and crowd segregation.0 -
You could claim the flight cost back on your travelers insurance and the ticket cost on the ticket insurance.
But from the tone, I assume you neglected to take out any insurance.
Quite a few events/venues etc state that they "may" check ID, but I have never actually been checked - not sure about Rome tho
If that's the case, you may be out of luck0 -
Oh, Murphy, what a horrible coincidence!
The last game on the 6 Nations in Rome is ideal! We loved it. Wales game, of course.
I agree you're unlikely to be asked for ID, or rather the person who's lucky enough to buy your ticket won't be.0 -

Cheers Backbiter. Thats the answer that I was hoping for. I can now way up the pros and cons of trying to sell on the tickets for my son and I.You could claim the flight cost back on your travelers insurance and the ticket cost on the ticket insurance.

Oooooh Tiger, put the claws away. Travel Insurance is in place, but wouldn't cover pre existing conditions. So this trip was effectively "self insured". If I get a few £ back, Happy Days. If I don't, c'est la vie.Pollyflinders wrote: »Oh, Murphy, what a horrible coincidence!

We may still get to go, but the chances are slim. The hospital could postpone the OP, which means that we can go, but would be a complete and utter PITA from a work front. Or a I could recuperate quickly (unlikely) and be fit to travel/enjoy the game with my lad.
At this stage, going to Rome in 2022 is the most realsitic looking outcome.0 -
Would be a bit unfair to ask you for your passport, as half the England team have foreign ones........0

Why not change your hospital date? Best of both worlds.Be happy, it's the greatest wealth

Its a long recuperation period, which will massively impact my business, the later in the year that the operation is done. If it had been done in Mid - Jan as originally "promised", it would have been an altogether different situation !0 -

So sorry that I didn't answer in the way you wanted me to.
We recently bought some concert tickets that were in excess of £175 each - did we take out the overpriced ticket insurance - yes we did. We don't know what is likely to crop up in the next few months as you are finding out yourself.
As an aside,you say your insurance wouldn't cover for your pre existing condition BUT are they aware of it and happy for you to continue to travel under their T&Cs regardless ?
Be carefull you aren't giving them a potential opportunity to void the policy and/or refuse any potential claim0 -

Puts claws back into paws.
Enjoy your concert and hopefully you don't need to make a claim on your insurance :beer:.
My condition isn't a serious condition that prevents me from travelling (its arthritis) and they're only concerned with serious conditions (they're words, not mine). The OP that the NHS has lined up for me will (probably) incapacitate me for several weeks and (probably) make flying impossible.
Hence, this trip was being self insured0
