The 2015 World Cup final will kick off at 8pm with ticket prices ranging from £150 to £715, the tournament organisers have announced.
All four of England’s Pool A games at Twickenham, including their critical 26 September showdown with Wales, are scheduled for 8pm starts.
England 2015 has announced that over one million of the total 2.3m available tickets will go on sale at £100 or less, with 500,000 selling at £50 or less.
Adult ticket prices start at £15 for pool matches and child tickets will be available from £7 at 41 of the 48 matches.
Kick-off times for group games range from midday to 8pm; 2pm or 5pm for the quarter-finals and 5pm for the semi-finals.
“Our key priority is ensuring we give the teams a balanced and equitable schedule which we believe we have achieved,” the England 2015 chief executive Debbie Jevans said.
“We have consulted with all our transport providers, our venues and host cities and we feel we have put together a schedule that takes into account all of the needs of our stakeholders.
“Now that fans have the final piece of the jigsaw, they can start to plan their tournament, be it in stadiums or watching from home, and make this a truly memorable celebration of rugby.”
The first wave of tickets, numbering in the region of 500,000, will be distributed through clubs affiliated to the Rugby Football Union next May and will include access to the final.
The general sale begins in September and there will be a ballot system for oversubscribed matches. Unsold tickets will be made available through Ticketmaster from December.
The kick-off times are part of a collaborative process between England 2015, Rugby World Cup Limited, the host broadcaster ITV and the tournament’s key stakeholders.
The spread of four kick-off times for the pool stages – 12, 2.30pm, 5pm and 8pm – contrasts to the range of 11 times for France 2007 and nine in New Zealand two years ago.
