More tickets for British & Irish Lions now on sale

A second tranche of tickets for matches in next year’s Castle Lager Lions Series has become available to South African residents - and they are on general sale on a first-come, firstserved basis.

Tickets to see the British & Irish Lions take on South Africa “A” in Mbombela on July 14, 2021 are available for as little as R100.

Sales recently reopened following the reconciliation of the ballot process, which saw the three Test matches oversubscribed by as much as 574 per cent.

Those who were unlucky to miss out in the ballot have been notified by email of the second chance, which recently commenced via www. lionstour2021.co.za.

“We had a tremendous uptake when the ballot opened with the ‘sold out’ signs going up for the Tests and close to sold out for the provincial matches,” said Jurie Roux, SA Rugby CEO.

“Now that those sales have been confirmed we can put the balance of the tickets on the market to give more people the chance be part of this once-in-adecade experience.

“Lions tours of South Africa come around less frequently than do Rugby World Cups. They are occasions that make rugby history in the biggest way. This is another chance to be part of the magic.”

The British & Irish Lions play their opening match against the DHL Stormers in Cape Town on July 3, in the first international rugby match at the Cape Town Stadium.

Before the three Tests, the

Lions will also visit Port Elizabeth (against a South Africa Invitational team on July 7), Durban (Cell C Sharks on July 10), Mbombela (South Africa

“A” on July 14) and Pretoria (Vodacom Bulls on July 17).

Available tickets for these matches start at R100 (for Mbombela and Port Elizabeth), and R250 for the three encounters against the franchise teams in Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria.
