Arf, Arf!.....didn't some people on the Forum and/or Pod say they thought the interest was not really there and that ticket sales would stall around the 20,000 mark and that loads of people would wait until near the end before deciding to buy. Looks like ticket sales will be done and dusted with a couple of months still to go.


Which brings me to another point.....give the NZ public proper meaningful football games and they will come. Get NZ into the Asian WC playoffs and give us games against Australia, Japan, Korea etc. There is big interest in watching the AW's play.....but it has to be proper games. No more crap games against teams from coral islands or useless friendlies. Time we moved into the real world.....end of RANT!

 

Couldn't have said it better!

If we had teams like Japan turn up to Christchurch the stadium would be a sell out within minutes!

The island nations should play for themselves and NZ in Asia.

 

It'd be better to lose to greater teams and not go to the World Cup for a while, but gain experience and playing decent teams in front of decent crowds, than to win against Tahiti in front of 2500 people...

If we are guaranteed big crowds [and I assume good profitability], why don't we simply invite some of these top sides here to play the AWs? The likes of Man U, Liverpool etc were playing national teams in Asia, what's to stop us?

Wish they could cancel the tickets, then re-sell them to the public. 

Allegedly

I think the difference is that the populations of those countries in Asia are sooooo much bigger than ours. Those clubs play those games to sell merchandise and I'd guess NZ's 4 million people isn't a big enough market for them to care about. 

People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.

It should just be illegal to sell tickets above face value.

Yep agreed. I have had a crack at trade me a couple of times regarding that. Nothing they can do apparently. They stopped replying as my language got worse.

I think it should be illegal to buy something at a lower price, and sell it at a higher price than you bought it for. I've even come up with a name for this offence, 'capitalism.'

What do you think?

It is illegal under the Major Events Management Act 2007, which was brought in for the RWC. http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/rugby-world-cup/4656355/Trade-Me-stop-Rugby-World-Cup-scalpers

Doubt the match qualifies under that act tho.
