Tickets for the first game of the Wallabies 2022 eToro England Series are now on sale, with seats for the Perth test match set to be snapped up by rugby fans.
The international rugby union test match scheduled for July 2, 2022 was secured by the McGowan Government through Tourism Western Australia, in partnership with Rugby Australia.
It will be the first time England Rugby has played a test match in Perth in more than a decade and will be the team's Optus Stadium debut.
The test match is the first of the three-game England tour and is testament to Perth's success in hosting huge sporting events, after more than 52,000 fans packed out Optus Stadium for last year's Bledisloe Cup.
The Wallabies v England match is expected to attract thousands of out-of-State visitors and inject millions of dollars into the WA economy, supporting local jobs and businesses. The event is also anticipated to generate millions in broadcast media value.

"Perth has a strong history of hosting successful rugby events and this test match is set to follow in these footsteps, and expected to attract a huge crowd to witness the sporting spectacle.
"I strongly encourage fans from across Australia and overseas to get in quick to secure their tickets to experience this epic international rugby union showdown.
"For those travelling to Perth for the match, there are many incredible tours and attractions to experience in the city and beyond.
"I urge you to extend your stay and get out and explore Western Australia's regions, or spend some extra time in Perth, and experience all our State has to offer."
As stated by Sport and Recreation Minister David Templeman:
"This is going to be a great game on July 2 and I look forward to seeing Optus Stadium come alive with fans supporting their favourite team.
"I am sure we will see a fantastic spectacle when these two teams come head to head and I am glad Perth will be front and centre."
