Over 30,000 in Auckland again tonight. When there was pre-tournament chat of slow sales, what exactly did that mean? Will there be any way to know if there was a late surge, and how much it was influenced by the result on the first night? 
They meant slow sales for the smaller games outside the big centres: the ones they had to give away free tix for, like Costa Rica v Zambia in Hamilton.

Wellington and Auckland have been good - but only 11,000 in Dunedin to see the Netherlands and Portugal, two of the best teams, is embarrassing.

Yeah but that’s really the only game so far I’d put in the disappointing category though. We’re going to end up with 30,000+ averages in Auckland and Wellington and games in the 10,000-20,000 range everywhere else. I’d have called that a success pre-tournament. The crowd for the Germany match last night was 27,000 iirc and they’re world number 2, so it’s not like we’re lagging way behind Australia either.
