Organizers of the 2011 World Cup have released the ticket prices that they hoped would counter the rising costs of hosting an event this size.Tickets go on sale in April next year and prices will start at (NZ)$15 for children and (NZ)$30 for adults for most of the pool matches, The final to be held at Eden Park in Auckland to cost between (NZ)$390 to (NZ)$1250.
The International Rugby Board (IRB) retain all commercially generated income as well as taking $150 million as a hosting fee, Therefore New Zealand must rely largely on ticket sales to cover the cost of hosting the tournament and although the ticket revenue has been projected at $280 million, The organizers are expecting to lose $30 million, This is due to so many games being played around the country instead of just a few select stadiums in the main cities.
With these low ticket prices for pool matches, Most of the stadiums will be full, Rugby has a huge following here in New Zealand and is extremely multi-cultural, The atmosphere at all games will be electrifying.
