Rugby World Cup 2015 Set To Be Biggest Ever Following 150,000 Ticket Increase

The Rugby World Cup 2015 "is on track to be the biggest in its history following a 150,000 increase in ticket capacity to 2.45 million," according to the BATH CHRONICLE. There are currently 40,000 tickets on sale at www.tickets.rugbyworldcup.com "and another 100,000 will go on sale from Monday." Tickets for all 48 matches at 13 stadia "will be available and fans who applied for England and knockout matches at Twickenham during the September 2014 ballot, and have yet to secure seats, will be given priority access." The sale "will take place in four stages, across five days via tickets.rugbyworldcup.com." The additional 100,000 tickets on sale from July 27 "are a mixture of extra seats from the completion of venue configuration," hand-backs from the Rugby World Cup Ltd. commercial program and tickets that have been registered for resale from fans that can no longer use their tickets (BATH CHRONICLE, 7/23).
