The seller will, prior to listing a ticket on the Supporter Exchange, be notified by Seat Unique of the average asking price on the Supporter Exchange for tickets similar to those being offered by such seller. This tool is provided to act as a guide only. Neither Seat Unique nor WRU warrant the accuracy of any such guide price and the seller shall have ultimate responsibility for the price of any ticket it lists on the Supporter Exchange.
The seller must, when listing a ticket for sale, provide the accurate face value of that ticket to the buyer.
Sellers are required to have a PayPal account in order to list and sell Match tickets via our service.
PLEASE NOTE: Seat Unique shall be entitled to charge a transaction fee to the seller of up to or equal to 10% of the purchase price of ticket (“Seller Transaction Fee”). This fee is non-refundable save as expressly set out in these Terms and Conditions.
The Seller Transaction Fee set out at clause 5.5 will be deducted from the payment you receive from the buyer.
£1 per ticket sold on the Supporter Exchange will be donated to Seat Unique and WRU charities. This donation will be deducted from the Seller Transaction Fee and will not affect the payment you receive or any refund you may be entitled to.
Within 7-10 days after completion of the Match, PayPal will credit your account with the purchase price less any relevant transaction fees (including the Seller Transaction Fee).
The seller is responsible for any and all PayPal costs and charges in respect of your transaction(s) with the buyer via our service.
We will not be liable to you for any chargebacks claimed by and paid to the buyer.
- Personal InformationIn order to list ticket(s) on our site you will need to register for a seller account. This will require you to set up a user name and password (which you must keep confidential) and supply certain personal details to us.
You should take care in the type of information you share via our service and you should only share personal information (including contact details and/or financial information, for example) with the buyer as necessary and requested by us (further details can be found in WRU’s Privacy Policy https://www.wru.wales/legal/legal-and-privacy/).
All information and/or data and/or content that you provide and/or post (including in relation to your identity as well as in relation to ticket(s) or the events to which they relate) must be accurate and complete and must be kept up to date by you (this includes contact information, as we need to be able to contact you).
- Ticket ListingsYou agree that when listing your ticket(s), you will always act in good faith and provide all the information we request accurately and honestly.
You must provide all individual characteristics of the ticket(s) you are selling, including, as applicable:name and location of the event;
information necessary to enable the buyer to identify a seat or standing area such as seat number(s), row number(s), block or stand number(s);
the original booking reference;
information about any restriction which limits use of the ticket(s) to persons of a particular description (e.g. minimum or maximum age requirements, accessibility requirements);
any other information the buyer could reasonably expect to be given in relation to the tickets (for example, if multiple tickets for any given event(s) are not seated together).
You must indicate any terms and conditions which apply to the ticket(s) that restrict resale of the ticket(s) in any circumstance or way, or could lead to cancellation if the event organiser discovers the ticket(s) has been re-sold.

are not Restricted Ticket(s);

You are not permitted to list any tickets for sale within 48 hours of the scheduled kick-off time for a Match (the “Cut-Off Time”). Any tickets listed on the site that have not been sold on or prior to the Cut-Off Time for that Match will be removed for sale from the site and returned to the seller.
By listing ticket(s), you are making an offer to supply such ticket(s) to the first buyer who accepts your offer and commits to buy such ticket(s). You and the buyer are therefore entering into a binding contract and when the buyer commits to purchase the ticket(s), you are bound to supply the relevant ticket(s) to that buyer strictly in accordance with the time-frame set out for the agreed delivery method.
If you own and wish to list multiple ticket(s) to a Match, and the ticket batch contains an invalid ticket, the transaction for all tickets in that batch is invalid and any buyer(s) will be entitled to a refund.
Your sale will not be confirmed to the buyer until we have received confirmation of full payment by the buyer, following which we will send you confirmation of the sale.
While your ticket(s) remains listed but unsold, you may cancel and remove your listing at any time.
Once your ticket(s) have been sold (regardless of whether you have received confirmation of sale from us), you acknowledge and agree that you may NOT change your mind and cancel the transaction under any circumstances (including if the date or location of the Match changes). Following the sale of your tickets on the site, you will be sent a confirmation e-mail by Seat Unique confirming that your tickets have been sold and providing instructions on how to transfer your tickets to the buyer. You must undertake the actions set out in this e-mail in a timely manner and in any event within the timescales set out in that e-mail. PLEASE NOTE: If a seller fails to or is unable to deliver the exact tickets listed for sale in accordance with the instructions provided to it by Seat Unique, Seat Unique reserves the right to cancel the seller’s sale, find replacement tickets for the buyer and to charge to the seller’s payment method all costs incurred by Seat Unique and/or WRU, including but not limited to the cost of replacement tickets.
You will not be entitled to keep the ticket(s), transfer them to anyone other than the buyer or demand their return if you have already supplied them to the buyer.
Please note that the laws that govern the resale of tickets may be subject to change and may differ depending on your legal jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to ensure that any ticket(s) you sell comply with the laws of your legal jurisdiction.
When setting the sale price of your tickets and selling tickets through the Supporter Exchange, it is your responsibility to comply with all applicable laws, statutes, and regulations, including any applicable ticket reseller regulations.

- Where a Club (including a so called “district club”, as designated by the WRU) has purchased at least 10 tickets to a Match through its separate arrangements with the WRU, that Club may only sell up to 15% of their allocation (rounded up so that tickets can be sold as such in at least a pair) from the WRU on the Supporter Exchange Marketplace for a price above the ticket’s face value. Any number of additional tickets may be sold at (or beneath) face value.
- In addition to the payment options set out in clause 5, payment for tickets sold through Club Accounts may also be made by bank transfer upon ticket fulfilment to the buyer of the ticket on the Supporter Exchange.
