Is the 2023 Rugby World Cup sold out?
A record 2.6 million tickets were made available for this World Cup, which went on sale in several phases between March 2021 and April 2022.
Unsurprisingly, the quarter, semi-finals and final were the first to sell out on the official channels, with many of the high-profile group matches following soon after. So as we've said, your best bet now is to turn to re-sale sites or hospitality.
When and where is the 2023 Rugby World Cup?
The Rugby World Cup will run from the 8th September to the 28th October 2023.
The group stages took up the first month – from the 8th September to the 8th October – and we're now onto the semi-finals with the grand final taking place on the 28th at 9pm CET.
The host for this year’s tournament is France, who last welcomed the nations to the World Cup in 2007. Their selection was decided by a vote from the Rugby World Council after a process of bids.
The two-month competition has been spread across nine cities in France all the way from the arts and culture of Lille to the bustling ports of Marseille. But now, there's only one stadium left that matters, as the semi-final and finals will all take place in the famous Stade de France in Paris.

How to get to the Rugby World Cup 2023
Getting to France can be as easy as pie (or should we say quiche?) as long as you know all the different routes and options available.
For instance, if you’re heading to a match in one of the northern cities, like Paris or Lille, the easiest way would be to jump on the Eurostar which can take you directly there for a minimum of £78. From there you can also use France’s extensive TGV network to get to Lyon, Marseille or Nice.
You can also choose to drive by booking your car onto the Eurotunnel or ferry from Dover to Calais for roughly £65 to £85 – just remember to switch over to the other side of the road when you get there.
Lastly for cities like Toulouse and Bordeaux, your best bet is to fly as the journey will only take around 90 minutes and can sometimes cost you just £30.
