The tournament will feature the Olympic gold medal-winning French men’s and New Zealand women’s teams, among 12 teams in each competition, as well as Olympic sensations such as the USA women’s and Fijian men’s teams, with all of the action taking place inside the DHL Stadium, creating an unbeatable atmosphere.
SA Rugby CEO Rian Oberholzer stated that the local organising committee would once again strive to set the ‘gold standard’ for integrating rugby and entertainment.
‘Over the years, we’ve invested an enormous amount of thought and effort into producing this event and making it worthwhile for our supporters, and one of the areas we’ve had good feedback on is the cost of tickets, which is why we’ve ensured tickets are accessible and attractively priced for all fans,’ said Oberholzer.
‘Although fans from all over the world flock to Cape Town for this event – which has been voted the Best Live Experience in South Africa twice – we have to keep in mind our local supporters who love to attend this celebration of rugby and entertainment, and we’re certain tickets to this popular event will once again be a highly sought after item.’

‘The Springboks have sold out five Tests so far this year and to return to the venue of their last clash on local soil, the DHL Stadium, will be wonderful. The whole experience on 7 September will be remembered for a long time and we’re going to try and raise the bar in December, giving fans a unique Cape Town experience while they enjoy seeing 24 of the world’s best teams in action.’
Oberholzer also warned supporters not to be enticed to buy from resellers, other internet agencies, or firms that provide tickets and hospitality packages, as they are not guaranteed.
‘Tickets will only be available from Ticketmaster and we urgently warn fans not to buy from online ‘re-sellers’ such as Viagogo and others, who charge inflated prices without any guarantee of tickets at the end,’ said Oberholzer.
‘People have lost money and been left disappointed and angry when they don’t receive these expensive tickets, and our message remains loud, clear and very simple: only buy through the official channels, in this case Ticketmaster.’
