Apollo Projects Stadium Will Be PACKED For Super Rugby Final

The 2025 Super Rugby Pacific Grand Final between the Crusaders and Chiefs has sold out, according to a Super Rugby press release, with public ticket allocations exhausted within minutes of release. 

The 3:05 a.m. ET showdown Saturday at Apollo Projects Stadium in Christchurch, New Zealand, will play out in front of a packed house, highlighting massive fan interest in one of the most anticipated finals in recent memory.

Super Rugby Pacific CEO Jack Mesley said the demand reflects the drama and unpredictability that defined the 2025 season.

“After 18 weeks of edge-of-your-seat rugby, where no result has been guaranteed, we now have a true battle of the titans to close out the season,” Mesley said in a press release. “It’s a fitting finale in an incredible year. We’re thrilled there will be a full house in Christchurch to celebrate.”

Tickets were made available to the public Tuesday and sold out almost immediately. 

Due to the overwhelming response, an additional 1,250 tickets were released Thursday—only to be snapped up instantly.

With a sold-out stadium, two of the league’s best teams, and a full slate of entertainment planned around the grounds, Saturday’s final promises to be a fitting celebration of a landmark Super Rugby Pacific season.
