Scotland v Georgia
The Scottish Government has confirmed that although professional sport can proceed this month, due to COVID-19 restrictions games must be played behind closed doors. As a result, Scotland’s opening match of the season, the warm-up game against Georgia at BT Murrayfield on Friday 23 October (7.30pm) will not be open to spectators. The game will be shown live on ITV4.
Scotland Ticket Access only with a Nevis Membership
The Scottish Government will be reviewing its guidelines on public gatherings, events and physical-distancing at least once before Scotland’s next home games, and although obviously unable to guarantee crowds will be permitted, Scottish Rugby must still prepare for such an eventuality. As the situation changes on a daily basis, it’s possible that if permission is granted by the Scottish Government, it could be granted at short notice. Therefore, to ensure we’re ready to operate a fully ticketed international match in the event we are given the green light to permit spectator entry, ticket ballots are NOW OPEN to NEVIS members for the three Autumn Nations Cup games at BT Murrayfield.
The NEVIS membership allows access to ticket ballots for the Autumn Nations Cup and 2021 Guinness Six Nations games to which crowds are permitted by the Scottish Government. If you haven't already bought a Season 2020/21 membership, we'd like to remind you we're encouraging everyone who loves the game to back their sport and SIGN UP FOR SCOTLAND!
Match Day Safety
Everyone applying for match tickets to the Autumn Nations Cup games via the ballot can be assured that the safety measures put in place at BT Murrayfield on match days will be in stringent compliance with all Scottish Government guidelines. The ‘pilot’ event (Edinburgh v Glasgow Warriors) at the stadium in August at which all these measures were put into practice was hailed as a great success by the Scottish Government. Scottish Rugby will have in place similar measures for Scotland games this season, and strongly advises all ticket purchasers (indeed, all supporters) to download the Protect Scotland app.
