Tickets for Rugby World Cup 2023 could be ‘as low as €20’

Tickets for the Rugby World Cup games in 2023 could be as low as €20 if an all-Ireland bid for the event is successful.

Transport and Sport Minister Shane Ross also confirmed the State will foot the bill for upgrading stadiums around the country, which would have long-term benefits for sports tourism.

Addressing the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport, Tourism, and Sport, Mr Ross said legislation or other measures may be necessary to ensure the tournament would not be marked by large-scale ticket touting.
