Christchurch lands more tickets to Rugby World Cup matches which will commence on sale from November 15.
Tickets will be available online for the first come first served basis for the five pool matches and two quarterfinals.
Martin Snedden, Rugby World Cup chief executive said that "the offer was made because the Canterbury earthquake hit six days before the second round of cup ticket sales began"
Snedden was of the view that the earthquake will not effect sales in Christchurch,but if it had the extra chance to buy tickets would help.
For the pool games thousand of tickets will going to be available also, with fewer available for the two quarterfinals.
"It varies from match to match," Snedden said. "In the pool phase, there are lots of tickets around.
"In the quarterfinals, sales have been going so well that tickets will be limited, but there definitely will be good-quality seats available for both games."
He said ticket sales in Christchurch "haven't been slow".
"The tickets for the pool matches have been going as we expected them to," he said. "We're pretty happy with how it sits."
Anyone buying tickets can enter a ballot for tickets for the semifinals and final.
The extra tickets would be available worldwide, not just to Canterbury fans, he said.
They will be available from 9am, November 15, on www.rugbyworldcup/christchurch. There will be a limit of four tickets per customer, but Rugby World Cup bosses are considering raising that number to six for the Christchurch pool matches.
