are going to miss the final of Super Rugby because of the high demand of tickets.
d**k Tayler further said that, “There are a lot of Kiwis in Mooloolaba who will be venturing down. A lot of people up here are not going to be able to get to the game because they won't get tickets. There is a big screen at the local surfclub in Mooloolaba
so a lot of people will watch there. The biggest problem people have got over here is trying to get tickets.”
