Fans who missed out on tickets to Sunday's Rugby World Cup final between the All Blacks and France have one last chance to buy tickets from noon today - but they're expected to sell out quickly.

Rugby New Zealand 2011 this morning announced a limited release of about 900 tickets in categories A, B and C ranging in price from $767 to $1278.

The release comes after ticket allocations for the two teams and their unions were finalised.

Rugby NZ 2011 marketing and communications manager Shane Harmon said the release was the last chance for fans to be part of the biggest rugby match in New Zealand history.

"The atmosphere on Sunday night will be unlike anything seen before in New Zealand and this is the final opportunity for fans to be able to say 'I was there'," he said.

Tickets would go on sale online and at selected outlets, but were likely to sell out fast.

"They're expected to go quickly because of the demand, there's so much interest and demand," a spokesman said.

Tickets for the bronze medal match between the Wallabies and Wales on Friday were still available.

More than 50,000 tickets have been sold to that match, with fewer than 10,000 remaining as of last night.
