Swire Shipping Fijian Drua CEO Brian Thorburn says they have plans to build more temporary grandstands if the demands are high for the Fijian Drua and Chiefs match that will be held at Churchill Park in Lautoka on the 28th of this month.

They will construct one temporary grandstand adjacent to the Concrete Grandstand and if the demand grows they will build more.

He says the crowd could reach as high as 14,000 from the 11,000 capacity that the Park has.

The tickets for the Drua vs Chiefs match are $20 for adults and $10 for kids under 12 for the grass embankment on the Tappoo City end of the field, $30 for adults and $15 for kids under 12 for the grass embankment opposite the main stadium, $95 for the Timber Grandstand, $95 for a temporary grandstand that will be constructed adjacent to the Concrete Grandstand and $145 for the Concrete Grandstand.

The ticket sales will start next Monday.

People can purchase their tickets from the Lautoka City Council Office and eight selected Jack’s of Fiji outlets.

The Fijian Drua will meet the Hurricanes in Wellington at 3.35pm this Sunday.

In other Super Rugby Pacific matches this week, the Blues will face the Rebels at 7.05pm Friday, Reds will take on the Highlanders at 9.45pm Friday, Moana Pasifika will play the Waratahs at 4.35pm Saturday, the Chiefs will meet the Brumbies at 7.05pm Saturday and the Crusaders will face the Force at 9.45pm Saturday.
