Tournament organisers have announced that tickets to the New Zealand International Sevens will go on sale to the general public on Tuesday 4 October at 9am.

The tournament will again take place at Westpac Stadium in the first weekend of February (Friday 3 February and Saturday 4 February 2012) with Waitangi Day following on the Monday, allowing visitors and fans to experience an extended weekend full of excitement in the capital Wellington.
 
There are changes to the ticketing process for 2012, with Ticketek now acting as the official ticket retailer for the NZ International Sevens.

Fans are encouraged to pre-register online as a 'My Ticketek Member' to speed up the process of purchasing tickets, which usually sell out in just a few minutes.

Pre-registering will not guarantee access to tickets but it will increase the likelihood of a successful purchase.

Fans are advised that members of the rugby community, such as WRFU Season Members, WRFU referees and rugby clubs have a priority access to tickets prior to tickets going on sale on 4 October.

There will be five categories of tickets ranging from NZ$145 - NZ$195.
 
NZ International Sevens General Manager Steve Walters is looking forward to getting underway once again.

“We are thrilled that the tickets to the 2012 NZ International Sevens are going on sale soon. We always aim to keep the tournament fresh and exciting both on and off the field and are working on new ideas that will introduce new forms of entertainment for the crowd. 2012 will be another step up,” he said.

“This is a world class event and we believe that these tickets, which cover both days of the tournament, represent exceptional value for money. Fans will be treated to over 20 hours of top quality entertainment with a festival of fun and world class rugby action all in the one event.”

The New Zealand International Sevens will be the fourth leg of the expanded 2011/2012 HSBC Sevens World Series following the IRB's announcement of the addition of a ninth venue, Japan's capital Tokyo.
