2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup: Ashton Gate to host semi-finals

The first tickets will go on sale in September priced from £5 to £95.

The £95 category one adult ticket for the final at Twickenham becomes the highest value non-hospitality ticket for an international women’s team sport event in the UK, while 60% of tickets are priced under £25.

Sarah Massey, managing director for Rugby World Cup 2025, described the tournament as a “generational moment” and expects “unprecedented demand” for tickets.

“We’ve seen the Red Roses, we’ve seen the crowds and the new fans that are coming to watch them and we absolutely believe that women’s sport and women’s rugby will grow over the next 14 months leading up to the tournament,” Massey told BBC Radio 5 Live.

“We’re absolutely confident that we have the pricing structure that means we are accessible and we are attracting new fans to come and watch.”

A record crowd for a women’s international in April 2023 saw England seal a Six Nations Grand Slam against France in front of 58,498 fans at Twickenham.

The first round of tickets for the opening RWC 2025 match in Sunderland and the final at Twickenham go on sale on 24 September 2024, with the rest of the tickets going on sale in October.

The tournament, hosted in England, will see more than 400,000 tickets made available, double the number of the previous women’s Rugby World Cup in New Zealand in 2022.
