Surge in demand expected for last remaining finals packages

Surge in demand expected for last remaining finals packages after All Blacks win

All Blacks Tours is expecting a surge in last minute interest for Semi-Final and Final packages after the All Blacks defeated France this morning (NZT).

"We have had people tell us for a while that they will head to the UK if the All Blacks win the Quarter-Final in Cardiff", said All Blacks Tours General Manager David Caldwell. "We only have a small number of packages available and we are expect a lot of interest today."

The Tour Company, which is taking more than 4,000 All Blacks fans to the Tournament, has opened its office on Sunday to meet the expected surge in interest by All Blacks fans who are keen to see the Team play a Semi-Final against South Africa at Twickenham next weekend. There is also the prospect of witnessing history a week later if the All Blacks have the opportunity to become the first team to win back-to-back Rugby World Cups.

“The All Blacks against a traditional foe in front of 80,000 people in a RWC Semi-Final or Final at the home of rugby is a mouth watering prospect for an All Blacks fan,” said David. “This is a once in life time opportunity but people need to get in fast.“
