Although free, the event will be ticketed with both Tyler Street Sport and The Brit open to over 18s only.
- Tyler Street Sport is best suited to Port members and fans keen to sing, cheer and stand all game
- The Brit will provide a more relaxed atmosphere, suited to members
- Takutai Square will be ideal for families, with the build-up starting early for those who won’t make the 9:35pm kick-off time
Auckland FC CEO, Nick Becker said the watch party would be a chance to celebrate what the club has achieved to date and show support for the finals.
“We’re a club for Auckland, a club for the community and club that needs your support. It makes such a difference so rather than watching at home this is chance to get together and cheer on the team,” says Becker.
“Even if you have little ones, or even older ones, who won’t make the 9:35pm kick-off, there will be plenty going on in the square from 4pm. We’ll also be replaying iconic moments across the season on the big screen, including the 6-1 demolition derby in full.”
Tickets are limited and will be available to each venue via Eventbrite on Monday at 12pm.
Look out for further information from the club on Monday.
