Rugby sevens fans will have a spring in their step in September with tickets to summer's hottest sports event - the 2008 NZI Sevens - to go on sale that month.
Tickets to the hugely popular tournament will go on sale at 9am on Wednesday 12 September. The tournament dates at Wellington's Westpac Stadium have also been confirmed - Friday 1 and Saturday 2 February.
Tournament Chief Executive Steve Dunbar said: "The on-sale date has been brought forward in response to feedback. Fans told us they wanted more lead-in time, including time to organise travel and accommodation in Wellington."
