All entry tickets for both days of the HSBC Cape Town Sevens that went on sale to the public on Friday morning sold out in less than two hours.
Computicket experienced unseen levels of interest as all the available tickets for the event on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 December were snapped up shortly before 11h00 – less than 120 minutes after they went on sale.
Sales may re-open in the event of commercial partners returning their allocation. However, SA Rugby advises that this is regarded as unlikely.
Meanwhile: Springbok sevens flier Siviwe "Shakes" Soyizwapi reckons the Blitzboks will have to step it up next year as reigning HSBC Sevens Worlds Champions.
He says that having won 5 of 8 events last season, they'll definitely have a target on their backs.
The former Southern Kings winger and fullback is savouring the prospect of playing in the Cape Town Stadium again in December in round two of the 2017/18 series. "It's a great event voted the best "live" experience in South Africa last year at the Discovery Sports Awards," said Soyizwapi. "Its really something for us as players to look forward to as we only get one opportunity in the season to play in front of our home crowds."
SA Rugby yet again strongly warned members of the public not to buy from third party agencies or companies offering tickets and hospitality packages as these are entirely unofficial and cannot be guaranteed.
