10,000 Tickets available for the Olympic Stadium

Five Rugby world matches are scheduled to be played at the venue at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park with roughly 2,000 tickets for each  game being made available.

The bronze final on October 30th is the biggest game of the fixtures on offer while four pool games – France v Romania on September 23rd, New Zealand v Namibia on September 24th, Ireland v Italy on October 4th and South Africa v United States on October 7th – are also being played at the venue.

The extra tickets include a mixture of seats released from completion of venue planning and configuration, handbacks from the tournament’s commercial programme and unions and tickets that have been registered for official resale by fans who can no longer attend.

Last month, the stadium hosted its first rugby clash when Samoa were beaten 27-24 by the Barbarians where retractable seating was used for the first time.

In total, more than 2.2 million tickets have been sold for the tournament, which promises to be the biggest edition of the Rugby World Cup to date.

West Ham fans can try out the Stadium before we move in next year. The East ‘KOP’ style stand should be completed in time for the Rugby World Cup to give Hammers fans a better understanding of what the stadium will be like for football.
