24 in 27: Warriors sell out again… For a game in a month - Zero Tackle
<div>
<p>The <a href="https://www.zerotackle.com/nrl/teams/new-zealand-warriors/">New Zealand Warriors</a> have done it again, with another sell out locked in for their Round 16 clash against the <a href="https://www.zerotackle.com/nrl/teams/penrith-panthers/">Penrith Panthers</a> in Auckland.<span id="more-222273"></span></p>
<p>The game against the four-time defending premiers may not be set to be played until June 21 - nearly a month away - but that hasn't stopped fans from snapping up every last ticket early.</p>
<p>Their only home game between now and then comes in Round 12 against the <a href="https://www.zerotackle.com/nrl/teams/canberra-raiders/">Canberra Raiders</a> on Sunday afternoon, and it too is now sold out.</p>
<p>The sell out against Penrith marks the fifth in a row for the Warriors, with the club's only home game this year with tickets left over coming in their Round 2 opener against the <a href="https://www.zerotackle.com/nrl/teams/manly-sea-eagles/">Manly Sea Eagles</a>.</p>
<p>That follows last year's effort, where the Warriors sold out all 11 of their home games, and the 2023 season where eight of their last ten games were sold out.</p>
<p>The 2024 sell out grand slam marked the first time any club have achieved such a feat in the <a href="https://www.zerotackle.com/">NRL</a>.</p>
<p>It means that, in total, 24 of their last 27 home games have been sold out, a fact Warriors CEO Cameron George couldn't quite find the words to describe.</p>
<p>“It's impossible to find the right words for our supporters who just keep showing what the club means to them,” George said in a club statement.</p>
<p>“Even in our challenging periods last season they were always there for the team when every game was sold out.</p>
<p>“This year we've had games selling out weeks in advance of being played and now it has happened again for the match against the Panthers.</p>
<p>“When we came home we said we wanted to give the fans a team they could be proud. What we have over and above that is fans who couldn't make us prouder.</p>
<p>“They're unbelievable not just here at home but equally in <a href="https://www.zerotackle.com/rugby-league/international-teams/australia/">Australia</a>. They're the best in the game.”</p>
