Rugby fans from around the world find out today if they’ve been successful in the ballots for tickets to the semi-finals and the Final of the Rugby World Cup.

According to Rugby New Zealand, more than 60,000 applications for the third phase of Rugby World Cup tickets were received. As each offer consists of an opportunity to purchase two tickets, only around 7,500 lucky applicants across the globe will be issued two tickets for each match.

But those who may have missed out in the ballot can keep their Rugby World Cup dreams alive with House of Travel.

“House of Travel Rugby is an official travel provider of the Rugby World Cup. Unsuccessful applicants can still purchase ticket packages through House of Travel – and be guaranteed seats at the semi-finals and Final matches,” House of Travel Retail Director, Brent Thomas explains.

“Everybody wants to be ‘Right here, Right now’ but those wanting tickets must act fast to avoid missing out,” advises Thomas.

To purchase tickets or for more information go to www.houseoftravelrugby.com.
