The Rugby World Cup 2011 is going to be one of the greatest events to hit New Zealand ever. In this event 20 teams are going to compete to ultimately be called the Rugby World Series 2011 champions and New Zealand has the honor of hosting said event. Because this is the first major event to hit the country, there was a lot of speculation about the ticket sales and other means of preparation not going the right way for the company responsible for the event but all that has been proven wrong thanks to statements made by the company that everything is running smoothly on track for the event this coming year.
So far for the Rugby World Cup 2011, which will be held on September 9th 2011, there has been 864,000 tickets sold – bringing in sales revenue of 166 million dollars, and there has been a confirmed 85,000 international visitors attending the event. This is more than they had eventually targeted as a goal as far as sales revenue and the tournament organizers are proud of their accomplishments. The event owners of the Rugby World Series 2011 are the World Cup Limited and they have stated they are very well pleased with the preparations as New Zealand gets ready to host this big event – which is the biggest event ever held in the country; history is being made as well!
There is only 267 days left until the kick off the Rugby 2011 and there is still a lot left to help get everything prepared for the games to start. Dealing with ticket sales and international visitor ship projects are helping keep the company in good shape for the World Cup 2011 event. It has been estimated that overall ticket sales should reach 268 million by the time the event actually begins. This was a big leap since New Zealand had never hosted an event this large but it seems like everything is starting to fall in order according to plan. New Zealanders are proud that they are getting the honor of hosting the Rugby World Cup 2011.
Tourism in New Zealand is starting to rise thanks to the event. More and more international visitors are preparing to come to visit the country that is going to be holding one of the biggest events in rugby history. Official travel agents for New Zealand have stated that there are 30,000 plus visitors coming through the packages that they have for trips to the country and the number continues to grow as the event starts to draw near.
