SOLD OUT! What can we do: Colati

“What we are trying to tell those spectators is if they stand to leave, then somebody will take their seat. So we are encouraging them not to go. At the same time, we are still accommodating those who have bought their tickets.”

While the Fiji Secondary Schools Rugby Union (FSSRU) officials appreciate the support towards the Vodafone Deans Trophy and Weet-Bix Raluve Finals, they will only comply with the capacity of the HFC Bank Stadium. 

The stadium has a maximum capacity of 12,000 spectators. 

FSSRU vice-president Biu Colati said all tickets have been sold out.

Spectators still lined up outside the HFC BANK stadium.

“This goes to show how interested stakeholders are in the game and we would like to take this time to thank them for the support," he said. 

“Actually, right now, we are trying to figure out how we can get them in. But what else can we do? The capacity is this big and that's the number that we can take in.
