Allocations for 2024-2026 season
New allocations have been sent out which will come into effect for the Guinness Six Nations 2024 and remain fixed through to the Autumn Nations Series 2025.
You will have been sent an email with your "Indicative allocation" for 2026-2028 season, in the Summer of 2024. This indicative allocation is based on the fixtures entered to GMS by your club for the 2023-2024 playing season and shows what your allocation would be based on just that season, but remember you also have to add your 2024-2025 playing season details in order to get your final allocation, which will be in place for buying tickets for the 2026 Guinness Six Nations.
This is an ongoing process so please ensure you continue to add your fixtures to GMS. Fixtures need to be in ‘Approved’ status with a result entered to count toward the allocation.
