It's taken just 20 minutes for tickets to the qualifying finals between the Crusaders and Blues to be snapped up.
The old rivals go to battle in the Shop n Save Super Rugby playoffs at Christchurch's new indoor stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Tickets for the public went on sale soon after 10am this morning, selling out in under half an hour.
The Crusaders said in a statement that not all hope was lost for fans who missed out.
They say further limited tickets will be released at 5pm this evening.
The team says these tickets are any unclaimed member or commercial partner tickets that will be released.
All four Crusaders games played at One NZ Stadium have sold out since its opening on 24th April.
The Crusaders are hosting the Blues at One New Zealand Stadium in Christchurch at 4.35pm Saturday.
The table-topping Hurricanes will kick off the Finals Series when they take on the ACT Brumbies at Hnry Stadium at 7.05pm Friday.
The Chiefs will wrap up the qualifying finals with a Saturday night showdown against the Queensland Reds at 7.05pm at FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton.
The three winning teams in the Qualifying Finals will progress to the semi-finals along with the highest-ranked losing team (the 'lucky loser').
In a variation from last season, this year the 'lucky loser' will be relegated to the lowest seeding for the semi-finals and, as such, will forego any chance to host the semi-finals or the Grand Final, should they progress.
