    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/super-rugby-pacific-eden-park-to-release-unique-set-of-last-minute-tickets-for-competition-final/V4BBTQ5APHJLJTDQRRWDMUOMX4/

    Over 45,000 tickets have already been sold for the season finale of Super Rugby Pacific between the Blues and Crusaders on Saturday night - the first fixture to fill every seat at Eden Park since the opening Bledisloe Cup test last August - but this morning Eden Park Trust chief executive Nick Sautner told Newstalk ZB that the stadium has worked out a unique way to pack a few more fans in.
    
    "We've been working with the Blues and we've implemented a standing-room area on the field of play - something unique, given the demand for the event has been unprecedented," Sautner said.
    
    "This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, 20 years since the Blues' last success in 2003 so we're just excited to be able to provide this limited area and opportunity for fans."
    
    The chance to watch a premier rugby event from the sidelines, surrounded by over 45,000 screaming rugby fans, can be taken up at midday today via the Ticketmaster website.
    
    Along with the sideline-based tickets, Sautner said that there would also be a limited release from the stadium's members and corporate areas.

    @KiwiMurph that right there is very cool

    and this an awesome response from the public too. Should be a good spectacle. Lets hope they actually make a bit of noise.

        @mariner4life just want a cracker of a game, no cards, just good rugby for everyone to enjoy and maybe reignite some peoples love of the game!

        Might be a little damp underfoot, but not too bad.

          Were nice and noisy for the Brumbies, I suspect there will be a bit more for the Crusaders!

                Conversely I enjoy living in Sydney, no scars whatsoever.

                Although it was a bit wet this autumn and it's unseasonably cold at the moment.

                      If I was the Blues I wouldn't be announcing anything. He either leads the team out, or he doesn't.

                        Actually, judging from this pic from the Captain's run posted today, I'd say yes.

                                it's annoying that the TAB only have the starting players listed for Last try scorer option.. would love to have a punt on Romano or Bridge

                                    I have mixed feelings about this game. On the one hand, being a Sader supporter, I want the Saders to win. But, and I feel very dirty for admitting this, I wouldn't mind seeing the Blues get up. Blues have a number of players that I am hoping will help turn the ABs around and if they don't win I will find it a tad disconcerting.

                                      I have mixed feelings about this game. On the one hand, being a Sader supporter, I want the Saders to win. But, and I feel very dirty for admitting this, I wouldn't mind seeing the Blues get up. Blues have a number of players that I am hoping will help turn the ABs around and if they don't win I will find it a tad disconcerting.

                                        Cumulative effect of seeing Dan Carter and Romano in Blues jerseys!
