Randell, who led the All Blacks in their World Cup semifinal loss to the French in 1999, is back in the country after living in the United Kingdom for the past five years.
He will be joined at the public launch for tickets in the Octagon by Graham Mourie, another former All Black loose forward and captain.
The public launch of the tickets for the test between the All Blacks and France, to be played on June 13, will mean tickets are able to be bought by the general public south of the Waitaki River until May 10.
After that tickets will go on sale nationwide.
Otago Rugby Football Union marketing manager Chris Green said southern people had a two-week window to get in and they should make the most of the opportunity.
Club members have been able to buy tickets for the match for a few weeks.
The six clubs - three metropolitan and one each from Otago Country, North Otago and Southland - which sell the most tickets will be able to field a junior team in a curtain-raiser to the test.
This incentive scheme will continue until the end of May.
Yesterday, Taieri, Kaikorai and Alhambra-Union were the leading metropolitan clubs, Clyde-Earnscleugh was the best performed country club, while clubs in North Otago and Southland were about even.
The clubs had bought about 5700 tickets by the end of last week, a figure with which Green was pleased, and he said club members should get in by Friday, as the best tickets were available.
He hoped to repeat last year's test between the Springboks and All Blacks when the match was sold out.
