TICKET sales continue to grow as the trial between ACT Brumbies and Otago Highlanders nears.
With only three days before Wagga's first Super Rugby trial in a decade, more than 1550 pre-game tickets have been sold.
The number hasn't expanded greatly since sales of about 1300 were announced two weeks ago.
Neither the Brumbies nor Southern Inland Rugby Union officials have released their attendance hopes, although both are expecting a large walk-up crowd.
There has been strong support for the Brumbies In The Bush dinner on Friday night, with more than 35 tables booked for the event.
Brumbies players will be in attendance throughout the night as well as at various Wagga locations on Saturday morning.
Brumbies marketing and communications manager Clare Dahlstrom revealed groups of Brumbies players will be at the Marketplace, Sturt Hall, Hunters and Sportsmans Warehouse.
"We will have players throughout Wagga in the morning at the Marketplace, Sturt Mall, Hunters and Sportsmans Warehouse to meet and greet," Dahlstrom said.
"We will have posters and you can bring your Brumbies gear to get signed between 9am and 10am at all those locations."
Tickets bought before noon on
Saturday will be sold at half price.
Pre-game day tickets are $10 adults, $5 kids (5-17 years) and kids under 5 free.
Tickets will also be also at the gate.
Both Brumbies and Highlanders teams are expected to be announced today.
