Fans who registered for exclusive pre-sale opportunities on the USAvAllBlacks.com website were able to choose tickets for the game in the 61,500-seat stadium June 13.  The high response and demand for tickets means a limited amount of tickets will be available to the general public starting today.

“The opportunity to see the All Blacks’ brand of rugby here in the States cannot be missed,” USA Rugby Chief Executive Officer Nigel Melville said. “We’ve given fans of both teams and rugby in general a reason to make the trip to Chicago with fair-priced tickets and we are expecting a sell-out crowd at Soldier Field.”

The All Blacks will visit the United States for an international match for the first time since 1980. The Eagles have only met the two-time and reigning IRB Rugby World Cup champions three times since their inception over 100 years ago.

Travel packages for fans will be announced soon, as well as accommodation information and ancillary events surrounding the historic test match.

NBC will provide live broadcast coverage of the match in Chicago, which kicks off at 3:00 P.M. CT Nov. 1. The Legacy Agency is the exclusive worldwide commercial agent for the match.
