The official Rugby World Cup box office, like that of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, is the sole sales channel for tickets. No other sales platform is authorized to sell tickets, to avoid tickets being sold at sky-high prices by resellers.
As ticket sales began in 2022, most matches are already sold out. But if you still haven’t got your hands on the precious treasure, don’t despair. There is an official ticket resale site where fans can sell their tickets.
Many travel agencies are also offering special packages to attend the Rugby World Cup. These packages can include match tickets, accommodation, transfers and other benefits such as sightseeing tours or meetings with former rugby players.

For a category 4 seat, prices can be as low as 10 euros per ticket. This is the case for the match between Portugal and Georgia on Saturday September 23 at 2pm in Lille. In category 1, the same match is available for 52 euros. For final matches, prices are much higher. In category 4, a ticket for the final, to be held in Saint-Denis on October 28 at 9pm, is priced at 100 euros, while in category 1 it is priced at 950 euros.
