More than 100,000 tickets were snapped up in ten hours on the opening day of the second release of tickets for the 2007 Rugby World Cup, organisers confirmed.
Sales were widened to the public worldwide after the first ticket release on November 5 went to what the International Rugby Board terms its rugby family including players, volunteers, administrators, officials and club fans.
Close on 800,000 tickets of the 1.6 million available have now been sold.
Like the first phase tickets are being sold in packs of three to six matches, with a maximum of six packs per person.
Phase three later this year will allow fans to purchase single tickets.
The cheapest tickets are E10 with ten per cent at E15 or less.
Prices for the quarter-finals and the opening ceremony start at E49.
Nearly 15,000 seats for the final will be sold for less than E100.

Half the tickets sold already and the big rush is still to come.
It’s going to be a bumper world cup.
