Close to 60 000 tickets have been snapped up as sales opened for the Rugby World Cup Sevens 2022 tournament, which takes place in Cape Town from 9 to 11 September.
SA Rugby announced on Monday tickets had virtually flown off the Ticketmaster’s “cyber shelves”, with a total of 23 817 purchased by FNB clients as part of their “early bird” partnership with the tournament, while another 36 183 were grabbed in the first six hours after public sales opened at 09:00; of these, 23 247 were snapped up in the first hour!
Supporters wishing to attend this event – the first Rugby World Cup in South Africa in 27 years, featuring the 40 best men’s and women’s sevens teams on the planet – can still get their hands on tickets through the official ticket agency, Ticketmaster, by visiting www.rwcsevens.com.
Organisers again urged supporters to buy only from Ticketmaster and no other ticketing outlets, suppliers or re-sellers, to avoid being ripped off at massively inflated prices.
It’s noteworthy these tickets cannot be guaranteed.
