Sell-out for Whangarei match
NORTHLAND 2011
media release
FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE: 13 September 2011 @ 9.30pm
Sell-out for Whangarei match
Northland’s first Rugby World Cup 2011
Pool match in Whangarei tomorrow
is heading for a
sell-out.
The latest update tonight from Rugby New Zealand 2011 Ltd is that the last remaining tickets will sell-out this evening.
With the sell-out, we want to avoid disappointed fans showing up at the stadium expecting gate sales, especially those who might travel to Whangarei from other parts of the region or Auckland.
“It’s a fantastic result for Northland and Rugby World Cup to achieve a sell-out match, especially outside of the main centres” says Rugby New Zealand 2011 General Manager Marketing and Communications, Shane Harmon.
Fans are reminded to plan ahead and allow plenty of time to get to the match, especially as there will be a number of road closures around the Northland Events Centre and you will only be able to walk up to the games.
The Pool A match between Canada v Tonga kicks-off at 5pm at the Northland Events Centre in Whangarei.
Travel information can be found on the Northland 2011 website: http://northland2011.com/game_on/venues/ or the Whangarei District Council website: www.wdc.govt.nz
