The Crusaders will face off against the South African Lions tomorrow night, but the competition has already faced its fair share of controversy over seat sales – and (as of last night) tickets are still available for the final.

But Crusaders chief executive Hamish Riach says he expects this final to be a sell-out, with, as of last night, only a few hundred seats left.

This is first time a super rugby final has been held in Christchurch for a decade.
But the issue of ticket sales proving to be a thorn in the side of what has been a successful Crusaders campaign and the previous games, including last week’s semi-final were far from selling out.

The Crusaders takes on the Lions at 7.35pm tomorrow and you can catch the delayed coverage of the match from 8.30pm on FBC TV.
