Rugby: World Cup tickets just £7 for children
LONDON: Tickets for some matches at the 2015 Rugby World Cup will be available for £7 ($11.33) for children and £15 for adults, organisers said yesterday as they revealed their strategy for the sale of 2.3m seats.
Forty one of the 48 matches will have child tickets at £7 and £15 as organisers aim to attract a new generation of young fans to the game. The best seats at the final will cost £715 with the cheapest starting at £150.
The availability of cheap tickets for the tournament will be a relief for fans.
England internationals are usually pricey with child tickets priced at £41.50 and adults at £83 for the match against Argentina at Twickenham.
Matches will either start at 1200, 1430, 1700 or 2000 local time compared to the nine different kick-off times at the tournament held in New Zealand in 2011.
The Twickenham final on Saturday October 31 will be a 1700 start, as will both semis, also at Twickenham. AGENCIES
