The “house full” sign will officially be raised at Optus Stadium for the August 10, 2019 double-header clash between Australia and New Zealand, with the final general admission tickets being snapped up today.
The historic event, which features Perth’s first ever Bledisloe Cup Test, has sold out just six days after tickets went on sale to the general public last Friday.
While the general ticket allocation has been exhausted for the event, there is still a limited number of hospitality packages and travel packages available through the Rugby Australia Hospitality team and We Love Rugby.
The Buildcorp Wallaroos and Qantas Wallabies will meet New Zealand’s Black Ferns and All Blacks in only the second double-header on Australian soil, in what will also be the Buildcorp Wallaroos’ first Test match in WA.
It has been 12 years since a Bledisloe Cup clash was last played in front of a sell-out crowd in Australia, when the Qantas Wallabies were pipped by the All Blacks 13-9 at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium in 2006.
Rugby Australia Chief Executive, Raelene Castle said: “There has been an incredible response from Rugby fans for this historic event and the stage is now perfectly set for a memorable night on August 10 next year.
“Thousands of fans are set to converge on Western Australia from across Australia and New Zealand and the excitement in the local market for these two Test matches is evident with a strong contingent from the West securing their seats at their own world class Stadium.
“We are looking forward to an exciting build-up ahead of the event next year, which presents one of only two opportunities for Wallabies fans to see their team on home soil before they depart for Japan to begin their Rugby World Cup campaign."
The Qantas Wallabies will play their only other 2019 home Test match against Argentina at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on July 27.
Fans wishing to explore the remaining hospitality options for the Perth double-header are urged to contact the Rugby Australia Hospitality team (hospitality@rugby.com.au or ph: 1800 619 181).
