As the southern section of the globe gears up for a legendary confrontation between rugby behemoths, the Springboks’ enthusiasts are looking forward to the match against the All Blacks on the 7th of September at the DHL Stadium. The event forms part of the Castle Lager Rugby Championship Test.

The competition day is set to be a visual treat for rugby lovers. The stadium gates will be accessible from 12:30 in the afternoon. The Springbok women’s squad will challenge the Barbarians RFC at 1:30pm, setting the stage for the primary match at 5pm. Supporters are advised to reach the stadium area by 2:30pm and be in their seats by 3:30pm, much ahead of the match’s commencement.

Embracing the modern age, this event is a purely digital, mobile ticket occasion. Traditional paper and electronic PDF tickets have been replaced with mobile ones, accessible via Ticketmaster. The test match audience, equipped with their smartphones, are the spectators of the future in this digitized era of rugby.

Preparations for Entry

Supporters are required to have their entry passes ready with the QR code displayed on their Ticketmaster app while entering the stadium. Screenshots or emails will not be considered valid for entry. The importance of having all tickets downloaded and transferred to all attending parties before reaching the stadium cannot be emphasized enough.

The event organization team has considered the possibility of heavy traffic congestion around the stadium. Plenty of advice has been given to attendees to park their vehicles at a distance and utilize the free MyCiTi shuttle services. These services can be availed from multiple points, including the Civic Centre, Thibault Square bus stations, UCT, Century City Steelbridge E-Parking, and Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC).

However, DHL Stadium does not provide parking unless you have an event-granted Vehicle Access Pass. While on-street parking is available within the city centre, it lacks additional security, and standard tariffs apply until 1pm, after which parking becomes free.

For spectators with disabilities, a dedicated parking area, P5, is at their disposal. These parking bays are limited and applications must be made in advance.

The shuttle service grants free transportation to the DHL Stadium for ticket holders from various points, starting at 12pm. These services operate until 9:30 pm, ensuring a seamless journey for spectators to and from the venue.

Additional Transport Options

Spectators can take advantage of a park-and-ride system at UCT from 12pm, parking on the Upper Campus and taking a bus to the stadium. With a total of 2,000 bays scattered across different zones, the parking area will be under surveillance by security personnel.

The Century City Steelbridge E-Parking area offers an additional 500 free parking bays for spectators with match tickets, further facilitating the transportation process. The first bus departs at 12pm, and the last one leaves the stadium station at 9:30pm.
