Tickets for the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series went on sale this week, and even the most expensive South African fixtures are nowhere near the prices being asked for the fourth Test in the United States.

The All Blacks will face the Stormers, Sharks, Bulls and Lions, and play three Tests against the Springboks in South Africa in August and September, before the final Test is played at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on September 12.

The Citizen reports that with the currency at R16.12 to the Dollar – as of February 5 – a ticket to that game will cost between R4 657.80 and R55 426.19 ($289–$3,439), depending on the seat you prefer.

Meanwhile, ticket prices for the All Blacks’ matches against the four local franchises are between R350 and R1 350, though the Sharks match at Kings Park on August 11 has a R250 option.

Springbok tickets range from R850 to R4 000 with the stadiums offering similar price packages. Tickets can be purchased at springboks.tmtickets.co.za.

This is the All Blacks’ first full-length tour since 1996 and has resulted in the pausing of the Rugby Championship in 2026. It also sets the stage for New Zealand to seek revenge after the Springboks won the Rugby Championship title back-to-back last year.
