SUPER League general manager Blake Solly has congratulated Saints after the club posted the sold out notices on Langtree Park for the World Club Challenge match against South Sydney Rabbitohs.
The game on February 22 pitches the Super League champions against the NRL Premiers and it the highlight of the World Series.
Solly said: "I’m delighted to hear that the St Helens v South Sydney Rabbitohs game has sold out three weeks before the game kicks off.
"This shows how much excitement surrounds the World Club Series with fans snapping up tickets early for this match in record time."
In the other games Wigan tackle Brisbane Broncos while Warrington take on St George Illawarra "It’s clear that fans can't wait to see Super League take on the NRL, and watch our best players match-up against stars like Greg Inglis, Benji Marshall, Sam Thaiday and Gareth Widdop. "Tickets for the remaining two matches are selling fast and we would love to see three packed crowds cheering on our Super League clubs as they battle three great NRL teams.”
