TICKETS will go on sale at 3pm today for the 2021 eToro Rugby Championship, with a double-header to be played in Townsville.

But Rugby Australia has sweetened the deal, with a “bring a mate for free” initiative at each of the four double-headers in certain ticket categories.

An adult ticket will set punters back $49, which will cover entry for the two Test matches at Queensland Country Bank Stadium that will run back to back, and allows rugby fans to bring a mate for free, with an additional ticket included at no extra cost. Other ticket packages will also be available.

Each nation will also have its own designated support bay at each stadium.

The first game of the championships will kick off on the Gold Coast on September 12, before the teams stop in at Suncorp Stadium on September 18.

Teams will then play in Townsville, for the city’s first ever Test match on September 25 when New Zealand take on South Africa in their historic 100th clash before the Wallabies take on Argentina.

Rugby Australia Chief Executive Andy Marinos said having affordable and accessible tickets would add to the festival of rugby.

“It will mark the first-time fans can purchase a ticket to two games happening at the same venue on the same night, and we encourage fans to bring a mate along too

and enjoy a great night out,” Marinos said.

“This is a great chance to attract new fans to our great game, with the action to light up Gold Coast, Brisbane and Townsville over four thrilling double-headers.

“In addition to this, we’re also pleased to have our offer available for those frontline workers based in Brisbane. It is just a small token of our appreciation, and we hope it can provide an enjoyable night out for those members of our community who have sacrificed so much over the past 18 months.”

Marinos said tickets were snapped up quickly for the Wallabies game in Perth on Sunday, and it was expected to be the same for the championships.

“I’d encourage everyone to log on and take up one of the many offers.”

Tickets for the Townsville game are available through Ticketmaster.
