Where it stands
As of 12 Oct 2026
No ballot at any stage.
The New Zealand Rugby page allblacks.com/team/black-ferns/lions-2027 and lionsrugby.com carry tickets-on-sale notices dated 29 Sept 2026 and 30 Sept 2026 for the three Black Ferns v Lions Women Tests: Auckland (Go Media Stadium) 11 Sept 2027, Wellington (Hnry Stadium) 18 Sept 2027 and Christchurch (One NZ Stadium) 25 Sept 2027. Prices: selected children's tickets NZD 1 and adults from NZD 27, described on the NZR page as a limited-time launch price for the first women's tour.
Before the on-sale the ticketing site listed the Tests behind a password presale and a 10-ticket limit per customer with Ticketek-app-only delivery.
How tickets actually work
Buy through the official New Zealand Rugby ticketing site, tickets.allblacks.com, reached from allblacks.com/tickets or the Buy Tickets buttons on lionsrugby.com. The organizers' pages carry tickets-on-sale notices dated 29 Sept 2026 and 30 Sept 2026 for the three Black Ferns v Lions Women Tests. The ticketing site earlier listed a limit of 10 tickets per customer with delivery through the Ticketek app only. There is no ballot. Travel packages are available from the two authorised partners.
Your odds
Over 124,000 total capacity across the five matches per NZ Rugby and the Lions, modest for a Lions event, so the three Black Ferns Tests are likely to sell out quickly when GA tickets drop
Good to know
Adversarially verified 7 Jul 2026 against organizer domains. All five fixtures, dates and venues match the official NZR and Lions announcements of 21 January 2026 exactly.
May/June 2026 package on-sale months and the year are stated in the official articles (not inferred), and the Auckland Stadiums venue page independently confirms GA tickets 'on sale towards the end of 2026' with prices not announced. Ballot check: the only ticket-ballot pages on lionsrugby.com relate to the 2021 South Africa men's tour; nothing ballot-related exists for the 2027 Women's Series, so no ballot is listed here, though the Lions have used ballots before.
The official wording for general admission is 'late 2026', with no exact date attached to it. Cluster-relevant extra: ticketing precursor to the 2029 men's tour on the same NZR machinery
