I looked at some additional data and came up with this. 13 locations will be used to host RWC 2015, with a combined capacity of 612,087. This will result in more than 2.5 million tickets being available for the 48 games. The group phase consists of 40 games. The pricing structure for these games is broken into six categories, and is across four different seating options (excludes child tickets). The first below presents this information.

Our second table should be of interest to fans supporting Ireland and is presented in euros (assumes exchange rate of £1= €1.42).
The minimum cost of following Ireland during the Group phase is €284 (all tickets in Category D). Maximum ticket cost just over €1,100. If Ireland were to progress, as expected, the cost will climb. The price structure for the Knock-out Phase is presented below:

If Ireland progress to the final, fans will have the (happy) problem of needing to find €213 - €1,015 for a ticket. The total cost of competing in every game including the final is presented below in euros:
