Pisses me off that 90% of the stadium is Cat A and there is no differentiation between covered and uncovered. I'd happily pay more and be able to specify covered than have to shag around for the next couple of weeks trying to get covered tickets allocated (we have elderly in our group so it does matter more than it might to others).
Typical FIFA - everything is Cat A unless there is a concrete pillar in front of your seat.
Just venting.
Yer I agree. I bought 13 venue packs for whanau and mates and I didn't know the seating plan and the fact that basically the whole of CHCH stadium is Cat A.
I have since bought tickets for quarters and semis for Cat A but it's pretty shark being stuck right in the corner.
So the Venue Packs don't give you Cat. A seating? I remember the advertising wasn't very clear about that.
In that case I'm glad I didn't buy a venue pack.
What category of seating did you get with the venue packs?
The cheaper ticket options don't give you good seats really.
Not quite the whole stadium is Cat. A - all the seats behind each goal are "The Pen" ($21.90 incl. booking fee) - but a crap view.
Admittedly there are not many Cat. B seats - though there are seats at each end of the main stands at AMI which are Cat. B
Even some of the seats at each end of the North Stand further back are Cat. A (and should really be classed as Cat. B in my opinion)
The only way to get decent seats with a decent view of the game is to get Cat. A tickets (as I have - though I could only afford to go to four of the six match days in Chch).
