The clash between England and Romania tonight is your last chance to buy tickets to a Rugby World Cup match at Otago Stadium, following confirmation the final match has sold out.

Rugby New Zealand 2011 spokesman Mike Jaspers confirmed the match between Ireland v Italy was a sell-out with 27,500 tickets snapped up.

The capacity of the stadium for Rugby World Cup matches was initially reduced from 30,000 to 26,000 to accommodate the media, extra television cameras, and sight restricted seats round the perimeter of the ground.

However an additional 1500 sight-restricted seats were released to cater for demand, he said.

Tickets sales for England's final match at the stadium stood at 25,000 yesterday.

Fewer than 2500 tickets to the match were available and represented fans' last chance to watch Rugby World Cup action at Otago Stadium, he said.

More than 20,000 fans attended last week's clash between England v Georgia, with the opening match between England v Argentina a sell-out.
