Thousands of seats are also available between ZAR350-1350 ($57.79-$141.86) in all parts of the stadium, highlighting the same issue the opening match against the Stormers faced. <\/p>\n

Days before the fixture, thousands of tickets were still available<\/a> for purchase at Cape Town\u2019s DHL Stadium.<\/p>\n

By kickoff, the crowd had swelled to more than 47,000, still short of a sellout crowd<\/a> of 55,000.<\/p>\n

The official ticket website for the match does not provide a number for how many tickets are still available and South Africa Rugby have been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n

The All Blacks won\u2019t be returning to Durban for the remainder of the tour, but have had plenty of success against provincial sides in the city on past tours of South Africa.<\/p>\n

In their five matches against Natal in Durban, which preceded the Sharks, the All Blacks won three games and drew one, scoring 128 points in total.<\/p>\n

All Blacks fans will have the chance to see one of their all-time greats line up against them after Ma\u2019a Nonu was named on the bench<\/a> for the Sharks.<\/p>\n

The midfielder signed with the South African side last week as a player mentor and played his last match for the All Blacks in 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Much of the tickets still up for grabs are priced at ZAR250 ($26.27), which appear to be the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":564582,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[275732,5263,8136,25272,10543,111,139,69,13120,13311,14861,23851,213,4969,61,1680],"class_list":["post-564581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-5am","tag-all","tag-blacks","tag-durban","tag-match","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-remain","tag-sell","tag-sharks","tag-slow","tag-sports","tag-tickets","tag-to","tag-wednesday"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=564581"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564581\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/564582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=564581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=564581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=564581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
