The much-anticipated test match between the Springboks and Ireland at Loftus taking place on 6 July 2024 has been sold out.
General ticket sales to the public opened at 9am on 4 March and were sold out on the same day, another ground-breaking feat by Loftus Versfeld Stadium. Hospitality tickets remain available but are limited. Fans are urged to make these purchases as soon as possible should they wish to be part of what promises to be one of the biggest rugby encounters for 2024.
Blue Bulls Company CEO Edgar Rathbone said: “It’s the third sold-out test match at Loftus Versfeld in the past three years, which is an amazing sign for rugby in South Africa, and especially Pretoria where rugby fever is at an all-time high.
"With the rivalry between these two amazing test sides growing in stature, fans are in for an absolute treat. I do not doubt that this test selling out in such a short time will have a positive impact on the sales for the remaining test matches to be played in South Africa later this year.”

Saturday, 6 July: SA v Ireland (Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria)
