Saturday night's Super Rugby Pacific final between the Crusaders and Chiefs in Christchurch is sold out.
Public ticket allocations were exhausted within minutes of going on sale on Tuesday.
Super Rugby Pacific chief executive Jack Mesley said the demand reflects the quality and unpredictability of the 2025 season.
"After 18 weeks of edge-of-your-seat rugby, where no result has been guaranteed, we now have a true battle of the titans to close out the season," he said.
"It's a fitting finale in an incredible year. We're thrilled there will be a full house in Christchurch to celebrate.
"Super Rugby Pacific has delivered on and off the field in 2025, and I can't wait to see how it all ends on Saturday night."

Due to demand, a limited third release of 1250 additional tickets was made available on Thursday morning, only to be snapped up instantly.
The final will be the last Super Rugby playoff at Christchurch's Addington Stadium with the Crusaders set to move to the new roofed Te Kaha Stadium from mid-April.
