Fans across the country have shown that they want to be part of
Chiefs history and snapped up 25'100 tickets for the Super Rugby
final, at Waikato Stadium, this Saturday night.
Chiefs' supporters were desperate to secure tickets to the Chiefs
vs. Sharks match and were queuing outside the stadium since 2am
this morning.
Tickets for the general public went on sale at 8am this morning,
desperate fans scooping them up in less than two hours.
"We are delighted our fans wanted to be part of our first Super
Rugby final and are sorry that we could not meet the huge demand."
said Chiefs Commercial Manager, Sean Austin.
Chiefs' season members and sponsors snapped up 8'000 tickets in the
last two days during their early purchase window.
"We are grateful for the faith that our season members and
sponsors, have shown. They are a part of our family and have backed
us prior to the beginning of the season. To have such a big up-take
from them during their purchase window was a great reward to
them."
The Chiefs have recorded a 97% increase in ticket sales this season
and the team has won 13 games in their road to the final.
Fans are warned to be aware of ticket scalpers and the Chiefs are
working through and are looking at how this can be combated and
fans are encouraged to only use authentic tickets purchased from
legitimate outlets.
Next weekend's enormous occasion will be the first time the Chiefs
have ever hosted a Super Rugby final and fans are encouraged to
become a part of history.
Fans are encouraged to get to the game early on Saturday. Gates
open at 5.50pm.
