Ticket sales for the Women’s Rugby World Cup are more than triple the previous tournament in New Zealand. England, the host side, will face Canada in the final on Saturday at a long sold-out Twickenham and figures released on Monday showed more than 440,000 tickets have been sold for the competition.
“That is 100,000 more than our original objective,” the tournament’s managing director, Sarah Massey said. “It is three times the number that was sold for the last Women’s Rugby World Cup. It is an extraordinary milestone that even surpasses our best expectations.”
