Africa-Press – South-Africa. The Stormers confirmed that the United Rugby Championship (URC) final between the Stormers and Bulls at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday night has officially sold out.
The stadium was allowed to host a maximum allowed capacity crowd of 31 000, whose tickets sold out on Thursday.
The last 6 000 tickets sold in two hours on Thursday ahead of the showpiece between the two traditional rivals, which kicks off at 19:30 on Saturday.
Tickets for the game have been a huge talking point this week after the merchant’s website crashed on the day of their release, on Tuesday, prompting widespread supporter frustration.
Several rugby fans had expressed their indignation on Tuesday when they experienced technical difficulties while trying to purchase tickets for the blockbuster.
Rugby faithful were also holding onto hope that government would relax Covid regulations to allow 100% crowd attendance, up from the current 50%, for the big game.
However, no confirmation of such regulation amendments had been forthcoming by the time the Stormers declared the venue officially sold out.
