Tickets for the Drua versus Chiefs match will go on sale next Monday.

Tickets for the the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua and Chiefs Super Rugby match in Churchill Park in Lautoka will go on sale from next Monday.

$145 for the concrete grandstand which is pavilion A.

Speaking during a press conference in Lautoka today, Drua Chief Executive Brian Thorburn says tickets will be available at the Lautoka City Council office and eight selected Jack’s of Fiji outlets.

Thorburn says with a much lower capacity venue at Churchill Park of around 11,000 they are recommending fans to get their tickets early and plan their day in Lautoka.

“We ran out of tickets last week. People could not get in because it was that sold out so we had to turn away fans. We just encourage people to get in early and buy tickets. One of our sponsors called me up this morning and says he wants to give tickets to his staff members in the region and their families so he has bought 400 tickets already.”

He says they are also expecting a sell out as Chiefs are one of the leading sides in the competition and currently sit 4th on the ladder.

Thorburn says with a squad featuring 12 full All Blacks and names like Fiji born Pita Gus Sowakula, Brad Webber, Anton Leinert-Brown, Brodie Retallick and All Blacks captain Sam Cane, the Chiefs will be vying for a win.

Lautoka City Council CEO Mohammed Khan says this will be a historic event for the city.

Khan says an influx of guests, visitors and tourists are expected to grace the game venue at Churchill Park.

“This gives the business community of Lautoka to showcase what Sugar City has to offer. Considerable economic activity is expected to be generated by this fixture. Lautoka looks forward to market itself to the wider international television audience as a choice of destination for international sports events.”

The Drua host the Chiefs on the 28th of this month at 3pm.
