Big demand for RWC 2015 tickets

Every match at next year's Rugby World Cup in England will be balloted for tickets in at least one price category.

Twenty of the 48 games are oversubscribed across all four categories - leading to a ballot for tickets for those games at all prices.

Tickets went on sale for all fixtures, including the three scheduled for Exeter's Sandy Park Stadium, in all price categories, between September 12 and September 29, 2014.

England Rugby 2015 CEO, Debbie Jevans said, "The Rugby World Cup 2015 general ticket sales window is now closed. We are very pleased with the demand for tickets and the number of applications. It is clear that, for many matches or price categories, demand has exceeded supply and every one of the 48 matches will go to ballot in at least one of the four price categories - and it is likely that at least 20 matches will be balloted at every price category.

"We will be running ballots in the next few weeks to ensure tickets are allocated fairly and will let all customers know the results of their applications by the end of October and before we take payments. We will spend the next few weeks processing the applications, running ballots, ensuring as many rugby fans as possible get tickets and will provide a further detailed update next month. Any remaining tickets will go back on general sale in November.”
