Tournament organisers England 2015 and the International Rugby Board today confirmed that at least 2.3 million tickets will be available across the tournament’s 48 matches.<\/p>\n
The strategy has been designed to be as accessible and affordable as possible. The tickets will go on sale in 2014 in a staged process aimed at giving loyal Rugby fans a fair chance of getting tickets, while also welcoming new fans into the Game.<\/p>\n
England 2015 Chief Executive Debbie Jevans said: “Today we are launching our ticketing plans so that fans understand the ticketing process for Rugby World Cup 2015. We want the tournament to be a celebration of Rugby, encouraging more people to support and enjoy the Game.\u201d<\/p>\n
“We have a range of ticket prices for every budget \u2013 for fans and families who want to come to one of the world’s greatest sports events. Our ticketing programme is built for fans who support the Game week in week out, whilst encouraging a new generation of Rugby fans through Rugby World Cup 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n
IRB Chief Executive Brett Gosper added: “This announcement represents a fantastic opportunity for fans around the world to experience what promises to be a very special Rugby World Cup. It is the day that they can start to plan. There are affordable and accessible options to suit every need.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fans can secure tickets via the public sales process managed by England 2015 or the official travel and hospitality programmes managed by Rugby Travel and Hospitality (RTH).<\/p>\n
More than one million tickets for Rugby World Cup 2015 will be made available at \u00a3100 or less and 500,000 at \u00a350 or less. Adult tickets start at \u00a315 for pool matches and there will be child tickets available from \u00a37 at 41 of the 48 matches. Ticket prices will range from \u00a37 to \u00a3315 for pool matches, \u00a315 to \u00a3515 for knockout matches and \u00a3150 to \u00a3715 for the Final at Twickenham on October 31.<\/p>\n

\nThe public around the world and in the UK can buy travelling fan packages from January 1, allowing them time to make travel arrangements. These will be sold through the Official Travel Agents appointed by RTH. <\/p>\n
In February the hospitality programme will launch via RTH, offering a range of package options, catering for a variety of requirements and budgets.<\/p>\n
The ‘Rugby fans through Rugby clubs’ programme will launch in May\/June 2014. England 2015 will work with the RFU and its clubs to make available tickets to club members who support the Game week in, week out in the host nation. England 2015 will also work to make this available to European Rugby Unions. Details on the club ticketing programme will be finalised in early 2014.<\/p>\n
In September 2014, one year from the tournament, general sales will begin through a public application process. Fans will be able to apply for tickets with oversubscribed matches being entered into a ballot system. Following a full tender process, England 2015 has appointed Ticketmaster as the official ticketing provider. Ticketmaster is the RFU’s ticketing partner and they will deliver the online platform. The final phase of ticketing will see any remaining tickets go on real time sale in November\/December 2014 with an ambition to sell out the grounds ahead of the tournament which kicks off on September 18, 2015.<\/p>\n
