SNS GroupA planned public sale of tickets for Scotland’s upcoming Six Nations fixtures has been postponed after the website was targeted in a suspected “bot attack”.
Gregor Townsend’s side kick-off their campaign at home to Italy on February 1 before hosting Ireland a week later.
Their third Murrayfield fixture will be against Wales who travel to Edinburgh on Saturday, March 8.
Tickets for the game were initially supposed to be going on sale to the public on Friday but Scottish Rugby confirmed on Thursday that it has been postponed.
It comes after “suspicious activity” led to fears bots targeted the pre-sale.
A revised schedule for the ticket sales will be announced next week.
In a statement released on Thursday, Scottish Rugby said: “Tomorrow’s scheduled public sale of Guinness Men’s Six Nations tickets (Friday, December 6) has been postponed as we believe this week’s supporters club pre-sales were targeted by a bot attack.
“Scottish Rugby is committed to ensuring Scotland match tickets are purchased by genuine fans, and we are working closely with Ticketmaster to review today’s sale and identify any suspicious activity.
“We will provide a further update next week with a revised schedule of sale dates for these games.”
