210,000 Extra Tickets On Sale for Rugby World Cup

The Organising Committee of the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France has released over 210,000 additional tickets for sale online to the general public.

While members of the Irish Rugby Supporters Club got their chance to buy tickets back in 2005 before the first phase of general release tickets went on sale in 2006, you can still catch the action with this latest release of tickets.

Tickets are available across all pool matches at the 12 Tournament venues (10 in France, 1 in Scotland and 1 in Wales), the quarter-finals and the bronze medal final at Parc des Princes. Supporters wishing to purchase tickets should visit the following official Tournament websites:

With a little under 100 days to go before the start of Rugby World Cup 2007, the Tournament’s Official travel and corporate hospitality website RTH ’07 has announced that 100,000 ticket-inclusive official corporate hospitality products have been sold.
