Hi there
We also missed out on both of the recent ticketek 5 second debacles. Can't afford Trade Me prices. Anyone with any extra tickets- looking for two- please email chriswratt@gmail.com.
We are in Wellington. Many thanks. Chris

I sure hope some of those w**kers selling on trade me get left with their tickets.I see there are 4 tickets for sale in the temporary stands asking price 400 dollars and seller claiming they arnt scalping but raising money for charity.

I must admin that scalpers are indeed gutless wannabe money makers. In saying that, if they dont sell there tickets then we'll probably see them at the game. Its too much of an event not to miss!!. If they dont go, then there stupid and poorer $39 for purchasing them.

 managed to grab a cheapie yesterday off Trademe for $65 buy now- reasonable offer- but the seller is being very coy about contacting me....maybe greed got the better of him.

I hate scalpers. If someone buys two tickets and finds they cant make it is one thing, but when they buy 10 and then say it, it pisses me. Genuine fans miss oiut.

Have one ticket as a friend is sitting somewhere else now. My have a second from the other half of the same group (row behind but can sort it out). PM me if you want it/them. First in first served. Will know about the second one tomorrow morning. In the White Noise Zone pretty much in the middle. Only want face value but wouldn't turn down a beer at the game  .

Its no longer a problem.

I heard today that Bahrain are handing tickets back that will be put on sale this week?
 
Is that rumour nonsense?

See one Trademe sale is for 10 tickets..now if that aint scalping I dont know what is.  There may well be the odd empty seat it seems given no takers at $1000 or $230 for 2.  Dreadful stuff but it happens all over the world I guess.  Purse before patriotism..

One can only hope he suffers for that.

Seems irritating that it's a sell out, but some of these clowns will end up with tickets that don't sell, leaving empty seats.

its a shame aye. all those tickets on tradme.that wont be used. hope you scalpers nutts drop off
Not only are they making a buck. but they are leaving the auction to close as late as possible. making it extremely hard for those desperate for tickets having to folk out airfares to wellington from auckland. darkhorse2009-11-12 17:18:28

Prize w**ker and I hope all the other scalpers like him lose all of their money. They are even lower than plastic fans - most whom will be sitting in corporate boxes as guests. Just remember folks, football is played with a round ball and we don't pick it up.
 
Plenty of genuine fans have missed out, although in fairness they should have bought them weeks ago. Someone at my work thought he could show up at the gate and get one - NOT!

Better still offer 900 dollars (less than the asking price) and then decline when you are offered them.!

Tisdk tisk, you should not be drinking after your health scare!! All you had to do was ask and $39.95 would have gotten you one 4 weeks ago. IYou could have paid me when you were able to.

I agree that genuine scalpers are arseholes, but to be fair, they've been on sale for an awfully long time.

Given that this is possibly the most important game many of us will ever see, what possible reason was there for not getting tickets as soon as they went on sale? Someone who was really keen would have got them straight away, or at least made the effort before they sold out.

Admittedly, the bangers that buy 10 and try to sell them are scum, but if you are a 'real fan', and you really wanted to go regardless of the first leg score, and weren't simply swayed by the hype, you'd have bought tickets ages ago, and wouldn't now be in this position.

And quite frankly, that's your fault.

I checked Trade me an looks like theres 18 tickets left. Some look real dodgy. there bidding end dates are 20 November. One other bid says his friend will give the tickets on his way down to welly. That's just too dodgy. and Trademe sucks for this!!! useless pricks!!!

I took a while to get a ticket, to the point that I missed out, and then missed out on both the extra 1000 seats that became available ... I was looking at getting a ticket as soon as I found out that All Whites would have a World Cup playoff game in November, I just didn't realise that they would sell out so quickly (in reality, who would have thought?), and yea I had study and work commitments so didn't check any news for like 4 or 5 days ... but i agree with Warzycha, we are all All Whites fans and we're all the same when it comes Saturday (today!) and we are all one voice inside that stadium tonight.
