Top World Cup tickets set to cost €820

The most expensive tickets for the final of the 2015 Rugby World Cup could cost more than €820.

Debbie Jevans, chief executive of England RWC 2015, said the top tickets were likely to be around €800 but high-priced tickets were needed to allow organisers to sell others for as low as €8 and €16.

The tournament organisers also have to raise a total of €93m to meet the guarantee made to the International Rugby Board, and ticket revenue is their only income.
