Rugby World Cup names official travel agents
AUCKLAND – Rugby World Cup Ltd (RWCL) and Rugby Travel and Hospitality Ltd (RTH) have named the Official Travel Agents (OTAs) for Rugby World Cup 2011 in New Zealand.
The first official travel packages for the tournament will go on sale from January 1, 2010 through 20 OTAs worldwide.
“Rugby World Cup is now one of the top five sporting events in the world and the strength of the RWC 2007 commercial ticketing programme was one of the major success stories of a record-breaking tournament with ticket package and corporate sales exceeding 100,000 – more than the 1999 and 2003 tournaments combined,” said RWCL managing director Mike Miller.
RTH chief executive Andrew Burton said, “By booking through an OTA, the global rugby fan can be sure that their tickets are guaranteed.
“Supporters obtaining tickets from unofficial sources should be aware that they run the risk of having those tickets cancelled, being refused entry or being rejected from the stadium.”
Official Corporate Hospitality Packages will go on sale on February 1, 2010.
Match tickets will go on sale via the official tournament website www.rugbyworldcup.com globally in April 2010.
