England 2015 has defended its strategy for ticket prices and kick-off times, declaring it has struck the right balance between making the World Cup accessible and generating the necessary revenue.
Jevans is confident that more than £80million will be generated, but would not specify how much more. Concern has been raised at the blanket 8pm kick-off time applied to England's pool matches and the impact this will have on the attendance of children and those travelling from outside the south east. Jevans revealed that transport planning is already underway, stating "we wouldn't put on an 8pm kick-off if we weren't confident we could make this a fantastic spectator experience".
