Which? responds to Six Nations games being postponed

Adam French, Consumer Rights Expert at Which?, said: 

“Fans worried about being left out of pocket as a result of these games being postponed should be entitled to a refund on their match ticket if they cannot make the new date. Unfortunately it will be harder to get a refund on any travel or accommodation booked for the match, unless these were purchased as part of a package deal.

“If you are unsuccessful in getting a refund for your match from the ticket seller, you can try contacting your credit or debit card provider to see if a chargeback or section 75 claim is possible.”
