How much do Prem rugby tickets cost?

It won’t surprise you to learn that ticket prices vary from club to club, and also depend massively on where you sit in the stadium. If, for instance, you’re sitting behind one of the posts, you’re likely to be paying between £8 and £20. If, however, you want to sit in a main stand and nearer the halfway line, prices range from £70 to £100.

In contrast, women's tickets are much cheaper starting at just £5.
