I wonder if they've been totally straight up here. It is illegal to advertise a price for a deal when there isn't a reasonable number of things available at that price. It's called bait advertising. No way of knowing for sure without laying a complaint, and I don't want to muddy the Phoenix waters like that but it does seem pretty disappointing.

Purely from a customer response perspective they'd have to be disappointed that there's so much negativity around about their deal because nobody can buy it!

Spoken like a dirty marketer.

Hate to think how much OFC are wasting on this. Espeically after trying to cut costs for the O-league and potentially the WCQ path.

I couldn't work out who these "Premiers"  were, until I remembered that was the actual (but inferior) name of the WeeNix.

Maight be onto something there. They announce a tour, release special tour prices and say they'll announce details. Which sucks you into the tour. They then wait 5 days before releasing details of the tour, by which time the special tour fares are sold out,  and they direct you to a more expensive product. 

Seems textbook bait advertising to me (as someone who is not a lawyer)?

 

Seems textbook shambles to me.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Nope. Anything that isn't a high profile game being played at Westpac has zero chance of Sky stumping up the money to show it, unfortunately.
