Blues confirm a full house for Super Rugby Aotearoa opener

The Blues have confirmed advised that there is a full house for Sunday’s Super Rugby Aotearoa match at Eden Park.

Blues CEO Andrew Hore said the Blues are humbled and stunned with the response from fans with the event-capacity of43,000 tickets realised by midday on Saturday.

“It was only a few weeks ago that we were planning for a competition behind closed doors. When we got the news during the week that fans could come, we always wanted to do our part in terms of ticket pricing because we know that many of our fans have been doing it hard.

“I want to recognise the mammoth job from everyone involved in being able to turn an event of this size around in less than a week.

“This will be a special occasion that everyone will remember and a celebration of what New Zealand has achieved as a nation to get to this stage.

“The key now is for everyone to understand that this is a huge crowd, so please leave plenty of time to get to and from the stadium because we be undertaking contact tracing. Please check the AT site for your travel information and remember to be patient.”
