New Zealand Rugby (NZR) Sevens Tournament Director, Craig Morton urges fans to get in early to secure tickets to the biggest sporting party in Aotearoa, with early-bird pricing available until 31 October.  

“The Sevens is shaping up to be bigger than ever, we have full men’s and women’s draws across two playing fields. Fans can expect to see the competitive, fast-paced intensity seen in the most recent Sevens World Cup competition,” said Morton.   

37 South Managing Director and Tournament Promoter, Dallas Fisher is excited to see the return of the Sevens to Hamilton.  

“The biggest sporting event of the summer is back and better than ever, we are really looking forward to the Sevens action and most importantly, the festival action. With a Māori and Pasifika food experience planned, along with to be announced entertainment, the HSBC Sevens NZ is a hot ticket.”  

“This year, we’ve enhanced the two-day festival with an experience for all, whether fans are after a family friendly weekend, to party in the R18 Festival zone, or have the best view in reserved seating for the sports fanatics,” Fisher adds. 

Prices for the tickets start from $45 for kids and $80 for adults excluding booking fees, with prices varying across each of the four zones.  Tickets are available to purchase at Tickets | HSBC NZ Sevens, and NZR reminds fans to only purchase tickets from official channels and to avoid secondary on-line markets such as Viagogo.
