ALMOST 10,000 Kiwis have applied to take part in 100th anniversary Anzac Day celebrations at Gallipoli.
New Zealanders have been allocated 2000 tickets to next year's Anzac Day ceremonies on the Turkish peninsula, meaning four in five will miss out.
The ballot for those tickets closed on Saturday and the NZ government says 9909 entries have been received.
That number does not include applications posted before January 31 but yet to reach organisers.
Those successful will be given up to two passes to the services on April 25 next year.
Australia was allocated 8000 tickets compared to New Zealand's 2000 - based on the number of casualties suffered during the eight-month Gallipoli campaign in 1915.
The New Zealand ballot will be drawn later this month and applicants will be advised whether they have been successful by March 31.
Entering the ballot for attendance passes is the only way to attend the 2015 Anzac Day commemorations at Gallipoli.
Attendance passes are free, but those successful must make their own travel arrangements.
About 13,000 New Zealanders and 50,000 Australians served at Gallipoli, with 2721 New Zealanders and 8709 Australians killed over the eight months.

Expatriate tax services are great offers to let people who are abroad in tax preparation and computation.
