On Monday, tournament director Michelle Hooper confirmed more than 35,000 tickets had already been snapped up for Saturday's triple-header in Auckland.

Hooper said organisers believed progress with ticket sales had them tracking for a sellout.
If achieved, it would be the first of its kind for a women's sports events at Eden Park, which has a capacity of 47,000.
World Rugby chief executive Alan Gilpin confirmed the Black Ferns second pool match, against Wales at Waitakere Stadium, was already sold out.
Meanwhile, total ticket sales for the tournament had reached around 75,000.
Hooper said they were optimistic they would reach their overall target of 127,000.
