Sevens fans prepare - tickets to the event go on sale this morning.

Fans will be able to start buying tickets to the tournament at Westpac Stadium for 2016 from 11am.

For the first time it will run over a Saturday and Sunday at the end of January, rather than a Friday and Saturday.

General Manager Steve Dunbar said new ticketing options and big rugby names will help bring in a big crowd.

"We've got Ardie Savea, Sonny Bill Williams who are going to be in the team this year, and I think all the other international teams will have superstars too, which will be great to see for the first time."

Steve Dunbar said there'll be options for people to go to both days, one full day, or even just the Saturday night.

He's expecting a diverse crowd.

"Families are one part of it, but we want the rugby enthusiasts to see Sonny Bill Williams and Liam Messam play Sevens."

"And the party-goers, they're going to come along, and they can sing and dance and dress up if they want to."
