Eleven home games, one simple rule: the earlier you book, the less you pay. Here's how Hollywoodbets Sharks tickets work for the 2026/27 season, from Early Bird seats at R40 to SharksFest against the Vodacom Bulls.
For the 2026/27 Vodacom United Rugby Championship and EPCR season, the Hollywoodbets Sharks are changing the way tickets are priced at Hollywoodbets Kings Park. The idea is to reward the supporters who commit early, and to keep a seat in the Tank within reach of every family in KwaZulu-Natal.
Here is how it works.
THREE STAGES, ONE DIRECTION
Vodacom United Rugby Championship and EPCR tickets move through the same three stages.
Early Bird. From the moment tickets go on sale, a set number of seats for each game are offered at 40% off. It ends when the allocation is sold. Once they are gone, they are gone.
Full Price. When the Early Bird seats have sold, everything left moves to full price.
Matchday. On the day of the game, all remaining tickets go up by 10%.
Nobody gets caught out. You know the order of play before the season starts, and the best price is always the first one.
NOT EVERY GAME IS THE SAME
Tier 2. Six fixtures: Ospreys, Scarlets, Castres, Edinburgh, Dragons and Connacht. Early Bird tickets start from R40.
Tier 1. Four fixtures: Leinster, DHL Stormers, Glasgow and 10Bet Lions. Some of the best sides in the competition, in Durban. Early Bird tickets from R50.
SharksFest. One fixture: Vodacom Bulls, Saturday 19 December, kick-off 18:30. The biggest night on the Durban rugby calendar gets its own price card. No Early Bird, no matchday increase, the same price from the day tickets go on sale to the final whistle, and every stand at Hollywoodbets Kings Park open, including the Eastern Upper.
WHERE DO YOU WANT TO SIT?
The corners. North Stand I, the Scholar Zone and South Stand N. The lowest priced seats in the stadium, and the first to go. From R40 Early Bird for a Tier 2 game.
The North Stand and the Grand Stand. The heart of the noise. Early Bird applies, so the supporters who book first sit here for the least.
The Eastern Stand. Levels 3 and 4, centre and wings, looking across at the Main Grandstand. Early Bird applies.
The Family Zone. Its own section, its own price, and Early Bird applies. The place to bring the next generation of Sharks supporters.
The Western Stand. The Main Grandstand, lower and upper. Premium seats, sold at full price only, with no Early Bird.
Kingston. Lower, Upper, VIP and Booth options, sold at full price only.
The Disabled Zone. Full price only, held at the same rate for every Tier 1 and Tier 2 game.
THE SHORT VERSION
If you want the cheapest seat, book the day tickets go on sale. If you want the best seat, book early too, because the good ones do not wait. And if you want to be there for SharksFest, book, full stop.
Tickets can be purchased through Ticketpro, or through www.sharksrugby.co.za, which will direct you there.
Eleven home games. Book early. Pay less.
See you at the Tank.
