Fear not, Warriors fans - despite the Penrith Panthers’ crushing win in Sydney, the Warriors have a second life in their finals season. 

That second life comes against the most in-from side in the NRL, the Newcastle Knights, to kick off at 6pm on Saturday. 

Warriors home tickets have quickly become some of the most sought-after sporting tokens as the Penrose-based side refused to stop winning games this season - eventuating in a first top four finish since 2007 and earning themselves that second life. 

Members have had first dibs on tickets since midday Monday with a pre-sale and the general public will have their shot at noon today - they can be purchased through Ticketmaster here. 

Preferential access will be given to those who purchased a $49 Fast Pass that allows them access to this Saturday as well as any further finals matches - should the Warriors progress. 

The Mt Smart faithful voiced their concern last week as the NRL tossed up the idea of moving the match to Eden Park - a move that made sense in when looking through a financial lens but not so much when looking through the glasses of those that had made the trek to Penrose each weekend.

The venue is now decided, with the Warriors to play the Knights at their home in front of what will undoubtedly be a sell out crowd of 25,000. 

Warriors CEO Cameron George told Newstalk ZB’s Adam Cooper tickets for yesterday’s pre-sale were flying off the digital shelves. 

“The phones have been non-stop, inquiries and the like, so just waiting on some numbers to come through from the NRL.” 

George said the three seasons spent based in Australia make this coming weekend even more special for the club. 

“Just being separated from our grassroots here in New Zealand over the last few years - to bounce back into this year is just a real highlight for our footy club, but not one we’re taking for granted.”
