RWC sales target met

Rugby World Cup organisers have achieved their $268.5 million sales target - but the taxpayer remains $39 million out of pocket for the tournament.

Tournament organiser Rugby New Zealand 2011 (RNZ 2011) today announced it had achieved its revenue target with two matches still to be played, with ticket sales today surpassing the $268.5m target set more than two years ago.

RNZ 2011 chairman Brian Roche said sales this week had pushed revenue to $268.7m, with 87 percent of available tickets to this weekends Australia v Wales bronze playoff and the All Blacks-France final.
