With the sold-out sign already up for the next home game against the Titans, One New Zealand Warriors fans have ensured the 26th sell-out of the club’s last 29 NRL games played in New Zealand.
The sequence, unmatched in the competition, kicked off with the round seven clash against the Cowboys on March 18, 2023 with the only games not reaching pre-game sell-out status being the fixtures against the Roosters and Raiders in 2023 and the Sea Eagles in round two this season.
The last tickets available for the July 26 clash against Gold Coast were sold only hours after Sunday’s tripleheader bonanza at Go Media Stadium when the Warriors won in all three grades – NRL, NRLW and New South Wales Cup – to make it four from four for the weekend following the Jersey Flegg team’s victory on Saturday.
After falling just short of selling all tickets for the first home game of the season against Manly Warringah, the Warriors have now sold out seven games straight against the Sydney Roosters, Brisbane, Newcastle, Canberra, Penrith, Wests Tigers and Gold Coast.

“Our fans keep proving they’re the best. We’re so grateful for the incredible way they support the club,” said One New Zealand Warriors CEO Cameron George.
“They’ve shown it again with all tickets gone for our game day against the Titans almost two weeks in advance.
“That comes off the back of them helping to make last Sunday one of the best game days in our history as we welcomed back our NRLW team and finished the weekend with wins in all four grades.
“The fans keep turning up in their thousands at home and they’re doing the same game after game when we’re in Australia. We couldn’t be prouder of them.”
Burgeoning support for the One New Zealand Warriors both in New Zealand and Australia has seen total attendances of more than half a million for their regular season games in the last two campaigns; the 500,000 barrier in a season had never been achieved before.
That mark is on track to be bettered again this year with a total attendance of 411,197 so far with eight games still to play (as average crowd of 25,700, 4000 ahead of last year's average).
