Seems like a lot of tickets were sold yesterday in general around the stadium! Level 5 opened up but Platium $100 tickets.
If it was anyone else selling this game, I'd be confident in that the Platinum tickets being put on sale are simply unsold inventory from hospitality packages they've been selling through other channels and that the bays next to these (ie. 509, 510, 511 at least) are already full.

That said, I couldn't find anything about these seats anywhere, versus the Ha'atafu Beach (Lower west stand) and the World Cup lounge on the South Stand I had seen advertised, so I'm worried the NZRL have had some last minute 'idea' and have rushed these on sale.

Unsurprisingly majority of sales so far today have been in the newly opened western stand. Middle bays are selling quickly and I'd expect this area to be pretty full come EOD tomorrow which should push sales back into Level 6.

The Platinum seats on Level 5 north are surprisingly moving. I don't think they'll sell out before kick off, but they may fill a bay or two.

On Level 6 in the south, the sales have been more spread out, with the front few rows all starting to fill. Gold bays aren't really moving, so hopefully the NZRL will reclassify two of the four bays as silver.

What does the green and red areas represent?

Sorry if it’s been explained earlier.

It always lands between my dreams and disappointment.
My dream is 40k
My disappointment 30k

Even when I'm being rational.. I'm optimistic.. so I'll say 36,787..

Closest guess wins the Internet.

Green is Eden Park stadium members. Red is corporate areas that we know have been put on sale/sold for the game.

Potentially there maybe other areas sold into, for example I wouldn't be surprised if the middle bays on Level 5 on the North Stand have been sold based upon the late release of the Platinum Seats + Lounge access ticket category this morning (as its placement on the edge).

There will also be corporate suites on the top level of the northern stand and level 5 of the south stand which will have people in them, as some are company owned and some will have been sold by the Trust for the event or the summer, but it would be guessing to know what those numbers look like.

NZRL has opened up bays 501-506 on the northern stand, also as Premium Lounge seats. Going to assume 507-511 have been sold through other channels.

They've reclassified parts of Level 6 as well to help move sales which is encouraging.

Updated sales image. West upper is really starting to fill up, whilst the Ha'atafu Beach corporate section in the west lower is now sold out. I'm pleasantly surprised that the Platinum Lounge package is selling, despite the late release.

Level 6 is very much selling from the outside in. Unless there are more sections to open up, it's not unrealistic that all the cheap seats could be gone before kick off

Looking at the 2012 Test between Australia and NZ () as comparison, there wasn't really anyone above ground level on the south stand, west stand wasn't full (as per in game screenshot)

North did have some people on Level 5 based upon this photo so I'd argue we're at least in a similar, if not better, position sales wise.

That game was announced as 35,399.
