Spectators will not know finalists but can ‘swap’ tickets

Cheapest standard tickets for day of the final are £125

Top-end tickets for the inaugural Nations Championship final at Twickenham will cost £280 as part of a weekend billed as the “Glastonbury of Rugby”, the Guardian can reveal.

The climax of the new 12-team competition, which will be held every two years and replaces traditional tours, will be held at Twickenham at the end of November with two matches on Friday, two on Saturday and two on Sunday.

The six Tests pit the sixth-place finisher in the northern hemisphere pool against the sixth in the southern hemisphere pool, the fifth against the fifth and so on, culminating in the first against the first. Friday will host the 6 v 6 and 3 v 3 fixtures, Saturday the 5 v 5 and 2 v 2 matches and Sunday the 4 v 4 and 1 v 1 finals.
