New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has confirmed that more than 10,000 tickets were sold in just the first 24 hours of the Cricket Nation pre-sale for the upcoming 2025/26 international home summer.
Leading the early surge in demand is the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy series, with fans rushing to secure seats for the BLACKCAPS three-match KFC T20I series against Australia at Bay Oval in Tauranga.
‘$20 tickets for 20 hours’ promo fuels fast sales
One-third of all available tickets for the Chappell-Hadlee series have already been claimed, boosted by NZC’s special “$20 tickets for 20 hours” promotion celebrating 20 years of T20I cricket.
The offer sparked a strong fan response, and NZC is now encouraging those who haven’t yet purchased to act fast before tickets reach capacity.
Public on-sale date set for August 27
Fans still have time to access the Cricket Nation pre-sale, but all remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, August 27 at 10am.
To secure your spot for the BLACKCAPS’ summer fixtures, including the high-profile Australia T20Is and other marquee matches, visit the NZC Tickets page.
