Cape Town Stadium is ready to host fans for the Stormers' upcoming United Rugby Championship games.

However, with only 2 000 fans permitted as per government Covid-19 protocols, only a limited number of tickets are available and no tickets will go on sale to the general public.

"Sponsors and other stakeholders have all been allocated a proportionally reduced amount of contractual tickets, with the balance of the total 2 000 tickets to be available for sale to 2020 Newlands season ticket and current DHL Stadium suite holders. 2020 season ticket holders and current suite holders will receive further, direct communication on this process soon," read a statement on the Stormers' official website.

"Unfortunately, this means that given the current regulations, no tickets will go on sale to the general public while government Covid-19 protocols allow only 2 000 spectators. Should there be an increase in attendance for these matches according to Covid-19 protocols, these conditions will be revised accordingly."

It will be the Stormers' first games in front of fans at their new home ground, having recently made the move from Newlands. They tackle Italian outfit Zebre Parma on 27 November and Welsh side Cardiff on 4 December.

The Stormers added that fans attending will have to adhere to government regulations by wearing a medical mask and providing a Covid-19 vaccination document confirming full vaccination (Only fully vaccinated people will be allowed to attend) and ID along with their match ticket to gain entry to Cape Town Stadium

There will also be temperature checks and a verbal Covid-19 questionnaire for each spectator, with entry denied to anyone who does not comply with these regulations.
