"For anybody considering buying tickets for matches that still have availability I urge you not to hesitate for a second. There are still some great tickets available and we want to ensure that we welcome as many foreign fans to Japan as possible for this ground-breaking, once-in-a-lifetime tournament." Japan Rugby 2019 Organising Committee CEO Akira Shimazu. 
With traffic to the Rugby World Cup 2019 ticketing site expected to be extremely heavy during the early stages of this next ticket sales window, fans are requested to be patient while waiting to access the site.
