A lot of people have showed interest in attending a game since the stir that the first game caused.  I'd imagine that if we have another nice day on the 9th we could see a new record crowd... we'll likely see a new record crowd soon anyway, the LA Galaxy match will probably be the largest crowd of any sporting event in this country this year... it better be!
 
Ticketek were saying they had all 15 ticket booths open, hopefully if that's the best they can do for the walk up crowd people might start getting tickets beforehand.  Then again if the next match produces queues like the first match, there's really going to some questions asked of the stadium and ticketek themselves.  Would be interesting to get some figures from Ticketek over the next couple of weeks to show ticket sales for the next game.

It can't be the largest crowd because Eden Park was a sell-out for the All-Blacks vs Wallibies game this year and Westpac is just too small even with temporary seating.
