Full schedule with interactive map

The first two tickets for the Rugby World Cup Final 2011 will go up for grabs this week.

Event sponsor Heineken is giving away two tickets to Eden Park's grandstand for the final on October 23, 2011. All fans who turn up to Wellington Regional Stadium by noon on Wednesday will go into a draw for the tickets.

Brian Blake, managing director Heineken New Zealand, said the competition was a way of ensuring a couple of Kiwis were the first to get ringside seats. The on-sale date of public tickets will be early next year.
