This is an important milestone in the sale of tickets for the 2023 Rugby World Cup. The organizing committee detailed this Thursday the conditions of sale for the start of the sale phase of single tickets for the 48 matches of the competition. If until now, people interested in the event could only buy packs including several matches of the competition which begins in a year (September 8 – October 28, 2023), they will now only be able to target the shock of their choice. Here is all you need to know.
When and where ?
The sale begins Tuesday, September 13 from 6 p.m. for members of the “Family 2023”. As a reminder, to be part of it, all you have to do is register online on the official website by clicking on this link, and it is possible to join it until Tuesday noon. Non-members will be able to start purchasing tickets from Thursday, September 15, 6 p.m.
The sale will be made only online via the site tickets.rugbyworldcup.com. All 48 World Cup matches will be available, as well as all categories of seats in the nine stadiums mobilized for the event. A digital queue will be set up, and it will most likely be necessary to be patient to access the ticket purchasing platform. The organizers are already talking about “an expected strong demand”. Several customers had been victims of computer bugs during the various previous sales phases.
How many places are available?
France 2023 announces “more than 200,000 tickets” available for sale from Tuesday, on a first-come, first-served basis. But to limit the concentration of places in the hands of a few buyers, it is only possible to buy a maximum of six tickets, including only four for the same final phase match, ie all matches from the quarters.
What are the ticket prices?
The cheapest places are 10 euros for the group stages, and from 40 for the final phase. But only the small final, between the two teams beaten in the semi-finals, is accessible for this sum, and the 10 euros only concern oppositions between the most modest nations.
The minimum price for the quarters is 75 euros, 80 for the halves and 100 for the final. A meeting, scheduled for October 28 at the Stade de France, where the most expensive tickets sell for 950 euros. Note that the organizers have not anticipated a quarter-final of the Blues by raising the prices of one of the two matches in Saint-Denis where the XV of France could meet.
To see Antoine Dupont and his partners from the pools, the prices vary, with an opening match from 80 euros against the All Blacks on September 8 at the Stade de France. To follow them against Uruguay in Lille on the 14th, the cheapest ticket is 45 euros, and goes to 81 euros for the higher category. The prices will be identical for the match against Namibia in Marseille (September 21). On October 6, for the last group match against Italy in Lyon, it will be necessary to count at least 75 euros.
It will also be necessary to provide a little money if you want to admire the elite of world rugby. None of New Zealand’s games are under 40 euros, the same for England. The “good deal” is on the side of Bordeaux on September 17, with the South African world champions opposed to Romania, a match visible from 28 euros. All prices can be found by clicking on this link.
