Perpignan to answer ERC ticketing claim

FRENCH outfit Perpignan will face an independent disciplinary committee today over complaints regarding their ticketing arrangements for the Round 2 Heineken Cup match at home to Wasps at Stade Aime Giral in October.

It is the first time a club has faced possible ERC sanction over ticket distribution, and if found guilty, Perpignan could face a hefty fine.

The committee, chaired by Rod McKenzie (Scotland), will investigate claims 15% of tickets in each category for the game were not made available to the English side, as per regulations.
