Huge demand for Eden Park international cricket

All premium seating at Eden Park is sold out for the BLACKCAPS One-Day International against India on Saturday, March 14.

 

More than 16,000 tickets for the general public, members and corporates have already been sold for the match, taking up all of the capacity of the West Stand, ASB Stand and Panasonic Stand.

 

With the venue capacity reduced due to reconstruction, fewer than 3,500 Terrace tickets remain to be sold for the match.

 

"This event is quickly moving to a sell-out," said Peter Dwan, New Zealand Cricket's Commercial Manager.

 

"The Auckland cricketing public have correctly identified this match as the highlight of the summer in the city and demand has been building steadily since before Christmas.

 

"Given the limited capacity still to sell, there is no doubt that people who do not act quickly now to secure their tickets will miss out on match day," he said.

 

Dwan noted that there was strong demand for all of the Indian tour matches, with a particular interest in the Hamilton ODI and the two Twenty20 internationals, scheduled for Christchurch on February 25 and Wellington on February 27.
