Front page of the dom says so (which is good in of itself). Should be 20k by the end of this week.

OH MY GOD! We could only get Aisle 14 tickets which were the closest to the middle as possible.
Looking at the remaining allocation seating map on their screen at Ticketek, I'd say well over 3/4 tickets had sold. They said today has been nuts. Don't delay!! THIS IS GOING TO BE A SELL OUT!! Awesome!!

You mean only aisle 14 tickets remain? or aisle 14 are the closest to halfway tickets remaining?

Are there still White Noise Zone tickets available?

I am getting mine tomorrow.

It's a lot harder to get large blocks of seats then to get just one or two.

In any case, 15k of tickets sold is nearly half the capacity, which is great. Just hope people don't get put off because they are now unable to get decent seats.

How many people can you buy tickets for at once?
I have a group of 11 to buy/book for.

Then you need to ring or go in to an office.

Online limit is 8 I believe.  You won't be any chance to get 11 together in the zone.

Well when I was looking at Ticketek's seating allocation, I'd say well over 3/4 of the stadium were blacked out - not available. Only seats available were in corners and behind goal. Looked like about 25k sold to me - at first glance.

Yeah - but that's for trying to book 7 seats together, won't have any trouble trying to get a few seats together at this stage. What invoice numbers do you have on your tickets?

Beckham never quite sold out the stadium, and a lot of the people there were only to see him, rather then the football. Friday's game only got what 18K?

Here's that article from the Dom quoting 15K sold so far (1500 bought yesterday).

But we asked for a block of 4 and then a block of 3 in two rows...surely if there were only $15k sold, that wouldn't be out of the realms of possibility??

What does the invoice number prove?

There will (possibly) be a number on the right side tagged PAX.

This can in some circumstances give a ticket number sold, but is not a guarantee.  Sydney FC fans used to worship at the god PAX but now there is some belief that it is in fact a false idol.

I just got 11 seats all in a row (I panicked) and while it sounds like they are selling fast there are still a lot of tickets left... I guess the only problem is getting good placement in the stadium for big groups now. I missed out on White Noise and am sitting in Aisle 11.

Well with around half the seats gone, finding the right combination of those, in the area you wanted could be hard. I had trouble getting 8 tickets in a single row in the middle of the pitch covered on the first day of general sales.

Ah I see.

I can,if i could only just afford $80 for 2 to go to the game,id want to know itd be a competition before i go. Therefore,wait for the away leg to be played to see if we dont get dicked 4-0 THEN buy tickets. Makes prefect sense.
 
(I bought my tickets beginning of last week)

I could only just afford $80 at the time, (my partner is coming too) but still did it. Got tickets one week, hotel next fortnight, then flights to Welly next fortnight and train tickets next fortnight. I'd be going whether we were 5-0 up or 0-10 down. Although not everyone shares the passion I guess.

Flights are getting pretty full too.  I got the last seat on my preferred flight ex AKL.
I've heard one footie team going on the Overlander train from Auckland, that arrives 30 minutes before kick off.
Even heard of one bloke flying to Palmerston North and hiring a car, so he can get a flight back at the right time.

we should try and get Air NZ to put up cheap deals from the main centres to wellington for the game dates (or around abouts) to encourage those who live outside of wellington to come
