Integrated Ticketing for Eden Park Double Header

In a first for New Zealand Rugby League, integrated ticketing has been arranged to encourage as many people as possible to attend the Four Nations Double Header on public transport.

Buses and trains will offer every person with a valid game ticket a free ride to and from the ground on most routes across Auckland from three hours before the game to three hours after. Details of all the routes including maps can be found on the NZRL website Our Schedule / Four Nations page.

It is anticipated that fans from all four teams will be in Auckland to show their support and with as many as 50,000 people attending Eden Park, ensuring free and easily accessible public transport is seen as crucial to the success of the event.

NZRL Marketing Manager Trina Tamati said "We would like to thank the Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA) and Eden Park for assisting us with this arrangement. Integrated ticketing is very popular overseas as it is an excellent way to get people to and from an event with the minimum of fuss and we are very pleased to be able to offer it to all league supporters for the Double Header."

The two games to be held at Eden Park on 6 November will feature the English taking on Papua New Guinea and the Kiwis taking on their traditional foes Australia. With the newly revamped stadium opening on 10 October and these tests to be the first to be held there, this is an excellent opportunity for not only traditional league fans but all supporters of NZ sports teams to get in behind our boys.
