A limited number of tickets will be available for the Bulls' upcoming home United Rugby Championship games against Irish outfit Munster (27 November) and Welsh side Scarlets (3 December).
The Bulls said in a statement on Tuesday that they had noticed increasing interest from supporters to attend matches at Loftus Versfeld.
However, due to the restricted numbers of people allowed (2 000) at sporting venues, as per the Government Gazette and Disaster Management Act, only a limited number of tickets will be made available for general public sales.
For the game against Munster, a limited number of tickets will be sold at R150 a seat on the Main Stand - on a first come, first serve basis. Buyers will be limited to a maximum of four tickets per person.
The Bulls said ticket sales will open at 09:00 on Wednesday (24 November) and that purchases can be made online on www.ticketpros.co.za or at the Loftus Versfeld ticket office which trades Monday to Friday, between 09:00 and 16:00.
"We have been overwhelmed with queries and requests for tickets to our upcoming home fixtures, and we deeply appreciate the support and interest from Bulls and general rugby fans. However, it is important to firstly note that we are still facing and maneuvering our way around the Covid-19 pandemic," Blue Bulls Company CEO, Edgar Rathbone, said.
The Bulls boss added: "As such, we are restricted to accommodate only 2 000 spectators per match. After 20 months of not having fans at our Bulls home matches, it is understandable that there would be a desire to flock the stadium. We are pleased to be able to open ticket sales for our general supporters, while we are also able to offer tickets to our commercial partners - those being our sponsors, suite owners and season ticket holders.
"We remain hopeful that we will soon see an increase in the number of people permitted at sporting venues, and we too will be able to accommodate more of our supporters as we slowly work towards returning to full capacity in future."
Saturday's match kicks off at 19:45.
