While Ellis Park is the “spiritual home” of rugby\, FNB Stadium is the home of South African sporting spectacle. The sheer scale of the crowd creates a wall of sound that is unlike any other venue in world rugby. \n\n\nFNB Stadium/Soccer City (Johannesburg) \n\n\n\n\n🎟️ How do I get tickets for the Third Test of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry Tour 2026?\nTickets for FNB Stadium are released simultaneously with the rest of the tour. \n\nPriority Access: Register at greatest-rivalry.com for first access.\nPre-sale Window: Opens 29 January 2026 at 10:00 AM SAST / 9:00 PM NZDT.\nGeneral Sale: Opens 2 February 2026 at 10:00 AM SAST / 9:00 PM NZDT.\nOfficial Vendor: Tickets are managed by Ticketmaster South Africa.\nMatch Bundles: Look for “Jo’burg Bundles” that cover both the Ellis Park and FNB Stadium Tests.\nOfficial Travel Packages: SA Rugby Travel offers specific “3rd Test” packages for residents and international visitors\, often including flights from Cape Town or Durban.\n\n\n✈️ How do I travel to FNB Stadium?\nFNB Stadium is located in the Nasrec precinct\, south of the Johannesburg CBD.

Expect high surge pricing and long wait times post-match.\nDriving: If you must drive\, approach from the South via Rand Show Road to avoid the worst of the city traffic. Secure parking is available but must be pre-booked via the stadium management site.\n\n \n\n🏨 Where to Stay near FNB Stadium?\nMost fans still prefer the northern suburbs for safety and nightlife\, but there are excellent options closer to the venue for this Test. \n\nSandton / Rosebank: Remains the best choice for international fans due to the Gautrain and high-end hotel clusters (The Davinci\, Sandton Sun).\nGold Reef City: Located just 2km from the stadium. The Gold Reef City Theme Park Hotel and Gold Reef City Hotel offer a festive\, secure environment and are within walking distance of the Apartheid Museum.\nMelrose Arch: A premium\, walkable precinct that will be buzzing with rugby fans during the tour.\nJohannesburg South: Hotels like Road Lodge Southgate or Ecotel Southgate are convenient but offer fewer dining and entertainment options compared to the North.\n\nBooking Tips: \n\nAirport Shuttles: Ensure your hotel offers a 24-hour airport shuttle if you are flying in just for the weekend.\nSecurity: FNB Stadium is near Soweto; while the area is vibrant\, stay in established hotels and use official transport rather than walking through unfamiliar areas at night.\n\n\n \n\n🔗 Helpful Links for Your Trip\n\nSA Rugby Official Website\nStadium Management South Africa\nRea Vaya Bus Services\nPark and Ride SA\n\nExperience the roar of nearly 100\,000 fans as the Boks and All Blacks settle the score! 🇿🇦🇳🇿
