Rugby League World Cup 2017 ticket prices announced

10.00am NZT, Tuesday 11 October 2016

RUGBY LEAGUE WORLD CUP 2017 TICKET PRICES ANNOUNCED

Rugby League World Cup 2017 (RLWC2017) has announced its fan-friendly ticket pricing for next year’s tournament to be co-hosted by New Zealand and Australia from 27 October to 2 December.

Fans are encouraged to purchase early to secure the best seats at the lowest prices, starting from $10 for kids and concessions, $20 for adults and $45 for a family of four. The ticket pricing reflects the RLWC2017 organising committee’s vision of having next year’s tournament seen by more fans than ever before.

RLWC2017 CEO, Andrew Hill, said the tournament would be a festival of rugby league with some 450,000 fans expected to attend the 28 games across 13 host cities – a World Cup record.

“When setting ticket prices, value for money was our number one priority. We wanted to make next year’s tournament accessible to all fans, particularly families, giving them the opportunity to attend a World Cup and see the greatest rugby league players from around the globe.

“A family of four can watch the Kiwis in a pool match from just $45, attend a quarter-final from $60 or the semi-final at Mt. Smart from only $120. Our venue packs are also extremely affordable, where fans can see all matches at selected venues at a discounted rate, starting from as little as $17 for kids and concessions or $34 for adults.

“This will be the first time since 2014 that the Kiwis will have played an International on home soil and as the current number one ranked nation, we know they will have plenty of support as they look to progress out of their exciting pool that also features Samoa, Scotland and Tonga.
