The Fiji Rugby Union has announced that it will be implementing an online ticketing system for the much-anticipated Test match between the FIJI Water Flying Fijians and Scotland, scheduled for July 12, 2025, at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva. This move is part of a collaboration with TicketMate, the online ticketing platform designed to enhance the ticket purchasing experience for fans.
Supporters can now easily buy and manage their tickets digitally, with the option to print e-tickets or keep them stored on their mobile devices for quick entry on match day. John Sanday, chairman of the Fiji Rugby Union, expressed excitement about hosting Scotland, stating, “Our partnership with TicketMate ensures fans can secure their tickets effortlessly, whether online or in person.” He highlighted this match as a unique opportunity for rugby fans to witness impressive international rugby in their home city.
Tickets are priced at $150 for platinum seats and $100 for gold, with embankment tickets costing $40 and grass tickets at $25. A special rate of $15 is available for children’s tickets, making it accessible for families to enjoy the event.
The upcoming match marks the 13th meeting between Fiji and Scotland, with a history of competitive encounters stretching back to 1982. Fiji celebrates a noteworthy home advantage, having previously won two significant matches against Scotland in 1998 and 2017. However, the Flying Fijians are also motivated to rebound from their last meeting, where they suffered a defeat of 57-17 during the Autumn Nations Test Series in November 2024.
Fiji’s preparation for the match includes evaluating a large pool of players, as head coach Mick Byrne aims to assemble a strong squad. This match is not merely about competition; it also represents an opportunity for cultural celebration and national pride, as the community comes together to support their team.
With excitement building around these fixtures, this event is seen as a pivotal moment for Fiji Rugby, highlighting the nation’s commitment to enhancing its presence in international rugby and fostering relationships through the sport. The anticipation surrounding this match reflects a hopeful outlook for Fiji’s rugby future, energizing players and fans alike.
