England play at the Manchester City Stadium on October 10 against a play-off winner with adult tickets ranging from £50 to £250.
Tickets to watch the World Cup holders New Zealand range from £50 through to £175 with Wales and Ireland available at a similar rate. Scotland‘s tickets are slightly cheaper with their games taking place at Elland Road, Kingsholm and St James’ Park with prices ranging from £30 up to £175.
Child’s tickets are available from £7 for 41 of the 48 matches.
The quarter-finals tickets start at £85 and go up to £250, with no child rates on offer. Semi-final tickets, with the games taking place on October 24 and 25 range from £125 to £515.
And the final, which kicks-off at 5pm on October 31, sees prices range from £150 to £715.
The 2.3million tickets will go on sale in 2014 with travelling fan packages available from January 1, 2014. Hospitality packages then go on sale from February 2 with those who are part of rugby clubs getting a chance to buy theirs in May or June in 2014.
The application process for general tickets begins in September 2014 with tickets then fully available in November or December. Matches which are over-subscribed will see the tickets go into a ballot.

“Our ticketing programme is built for fans who support the game week in week out, whilst encouraging a new generation of rugby fans through Rugby World Cup 2015.”
