My understanding was it still costed the owners a lot of money to have Newcastle and West Ham play in NZ the last time they did it. With the drain on finances from being in Australia, the women's team and the WeeNix. I doubt having International club teams come play is high on their priority though a "because we are back home" and good PR case could be made for it. Plus not doing it on such a big scale wouldn't cost as much, It's down to them.

The games where big sellers, though the ticket prices where really cheap at like $35. I believe the cost of Newcastle and West Hams travel and accommodation had to be covered as well as the three stadium hires (Forsyth Barr, Westpac and Eden Park). Sure there was local council funding provided but I'm sure I remember it being a money loser for the owners.
