With a perfect eight from eight sellouts so far, the One New Zealand Warriors are just two games away from an unprecedented grand slam of sold-out games at Go Media Stadium this season.
Friday night’s 21st-round encounter with the Wests Tigers was confirmed as a sellout a week before the game.
The Warriors have only two regular season homes left after this against Parramatta next Friday (August 2) and Canterbury Bankstown on Friday, August 23.
Tickets have been selling fast for both games giving the Warriors a chance of achieving an NRL first by selling out every home game of a campaign.
Furthermore the Warriors’ other two home games played outside Auckland also sold out against Canberra in Christchurch in round three and Penrith in Brisbane in round 11.
All of this on the back of all of the the club's Las Vegas 2025 charter flight packages with Air New Zealand’s Grabaseat snapped up just 17 minutes after going on sale yesterday.
Our fans are phenomenal, the best sporting fans in New Zealand and the best in the NRL

“Our fans are phenomenal, the best sporting fans in New Zealand and the best in the NRL,” said One New Zealand Warriors CEO Cameron George.
“They’ve been there backing the team every single game showing how much their club and their team mean to them. Even when times have been tough they’ve been there and we’d love to see the ground packed again for our last two regular season games. That would be unbelievable.”
One New Zealand Warriors prop Addin Fonua-Blake said the players appreciate being able to play in front of a packed house yet again.
It just shows how loyal our supporters are. They keep turning up for us week in, week out and we’re going to need them against the Tigers

“You’re happy knowing you’re still selling out the stadium given the way we’re going,” he said.
“That just shows how loyal our supporters are here at the Warriors. They keep turning up for us week in, week out and we’re going to need them (tomorrow night).
“There’s a different feeling when you come here, when it’s sold out and you’ve got the fireworks going off.
“I’m just trying to take in every last moment I’ve got here and cherish the memories I’ve made with these boys.”
With all tickets gone for the match against the Tigers, the One New Zealand Warriors have now sold out all 12 home games so far this year including their NRL games in Christchurch and Brisbane plus their two trials.
Across the 2023 and 2024 seasons, 18 of the Warriors’ 23 home games have been sold out.
