Hi guys
 
My mate from Auckland is no longer coming, I initally had a request for the ticket I bought and said if its surplus to requirements I'll definitely onsell it. But I am not going to onsell it.
 
I had an idea with all this moneymaking opportunism being done that those who miss out on great opportunities are those who are on low incomes, can not afford to pay $39 to watch a game because they scrimp on streets. Or even a child that has to look after his parents , with cooking, cleaning because they are disabled or have cancer. So I would like to offer the ticket to someone that is homeless, has very little money or is football mad and has to do more than what they normally should be doing at a young age.
 
All I would like is if someone knows anyone to pm or get them to email egan@austadiums.com
and I'll conduct it on an honesty system and will also hand the ticket over in person on the 8th or 9th November in Wellington. Anyone can apply and I'm sorry to the person I said I'd onsell it too, but this option will give someone who has nothing a chance to have a life highlight. I'll let them know by the end of the working week.
 
Some people were never going to be able to go at all, someone with 6 kids on a single mothers pension and has a kid that loves soccer but the mum can never afford $30-$40 for a ticket on $180-200 a week. Which is why I am offering an experience to someone who will get the passion, love and excitement of a sports match that I and many take for advantage too often.
 
I fly out of Perth on Tuesday and arrive into Wellington just before the Nux v Newcastle match. I will most likely be at a pre-match pub so people can also let me know anyone they think deserves the ticket. If this doesn't get a response will just onsell it for match ticket price to the guy who had messaged me about taking the ticket off me if it is surplus to requirements.
 
Obviously I would like it to be a kid or a male/female passionate about soccer, but would like to deliver it to anybody in need.
 
Cheers

Very, very good Karma.
I know a few people from school who would love to go but can't afford it, but perhaps one of the lads from the homeless world cup team would like to go but haven't got a ticket...
You know we belong together...
