Crowd this week

Having a look on the Sydney Morning Herald's A-League site - the A-League can look forward to it's 1,000,000th supporter this season this weekend

I think we'll struggle with everyone away on holiday, I'll be there with a few mates though.

Teehee.

Has anyone sorted out how the free kids entry will work for season pass holders?

This is whats on the Phoenix website....

FREE ENTRY FOR KIDS!

This is your final chance to see the Wellington Phoenix play at home in the Hyundai A-League regular season as they take on Sydney FC on Friday, January 4. To celebrate and thank all of our supporters for their support this season, children under the age of 16 (maximumk of three) accompanied by a parent or guardian will gain entry in for free. If you're on holiday in Wellington this New Year, treat your family to an unforgettable experience and catch the Wellington Phoenix at Westpac Stadium.

Not sure we will get a big crowd Friday....been driving around Wellington the last few days and the place is EMPTY!!!!!
Wellington is not really a holiday destination and all the students have left town too!

Im away so I cant make it.

Sorry guys.

i think the kids/parents would have likd an earlier lick off. Not much that you can do though

I won't be in town, heading to Taupo then Tauranga.

Go the Phoenix, get into them.

seems that a few folks made their holiday plans before the fixture list came out 

i'm sure that won't happen next season

on a more serious note, the free kids scheme must be a great way to talk any out of town mates and Wellingtonians that have youngsters into checking out Wellington's best 'cultural' experience!!!

 oh cool an ice cream eating competition as well

In this case-I'll be bringing my wife,in-laws,and my other two kids so they can see how well behaved I can be at the footy!

good point JD

it seems ticketek respond to a request from the club by announcing it and then waiting to see what happens on the day - rather than actively anticipating different situations and potential problems and communicating with the punters

you could risk frustration and ring them in the hope of getting a reliable answer

We've got 3 adults purchasing tickets if anyone wants to borrow them. That's entry for 9 kids!

I think there should still be a decent crowd. A lot of people are back to work tomorrow, and after the win last week I've managed to convince quite a few people to come and check it out. It'll be their last chance for a while!

Ill be there havent missed a home game and haven't missed a game on tv. Already looking forward to next season and maybe going to an away game.

I know of people coming back from holiday in time for this friday maybe a bunch of others are planning the same

Jose's Dog we we're going to bring our nieces and nephews along as far as i see it we have already purchased a ticket for the game well in advance and should be able to have the same privledges as those who buy tickets on the day,what will suck is we won't be able to get to stand in the feverzone as they won't be able to give tickets to my tag alongs for the seats next to us as they are already taken, which is fine,  but it's like buying an album the day it comes out then a few weeks later they resell it with a bonus dvd to get more sales you think whats the point of supporting that if the late comers get all the treats

Hopefully there are plenty more like me, who are glad it's holiday time and can get to Wellington for the game without worrying about getting back for work. Wellington here I come (again).

so player ratings will be delayed for this game?

Tony P : This confusion about free kids is not good. I am a gold season ticket holder. I often bring my daughter and two friends and pay for their tickets. On Friday what is the situation? My daughter and two friends are coming - do they get in free if I show my season ticket?

I hope that season ticket holders who have supported the club will not be disadvantaged.

cheers

is it disturbing that after being away for 5 days and a trip back from gisborne that the first I do when i get home is jump on here.  Im bring a couple of new rugby boof heads to the game. 

perhaps the most accurate ratings in the history of football 

(Old's and Cov's comments raised a smile!)

bring it on!!

just the back bar (fever side) of the Backbencher will be operating on Friday. Outside area open too

sounds like perfectly normal behaviour to me

then again, given my wife's frequent use of the phrase "not yellow fever again, you're addicted to it" that particular reassurance might not be all that comforting

Deliberatly planned my holiday so I'd be back in Wellington today - in time for the match against Bling with a day to spare!

Mind you, I also took a bus on xmas eve just so that I didn't miss TW vs Waitak...

SO IF I ROC UP WITH 3 KIDS AND MY SEASON PASS THE KIDS CAN WALK IN WITHOUT HOLDING A PHYSICAL TICKET? DOES ANYONE HAVE THE ANSWER TO THIS?

is it friday yet?

I'm doing my bit bringing a crowd of 14.  As a parent the offer of an outing where the kids get in free is a great attraction (eg the Te Papa whale exhibition) so expect lots of ankle biters tomorrow.  The (almost) four year old chanting "Same old Aussies" is mine.    The two girls poking you in the eye with the Phoenix flag (and fighting the whole time) are his sisters.

Getting our tickets today. Last home game for the season so we will go to show our support

me and the mrs are coming up from chch, and will be going with 2 more mates. should be good times!

I know of 6 wellingtonians who are coming 4 who've never been and 2 who've only been once

hopefully those types of attendees plus the travelling Phoenix fans will balance (or exceed) the folks that are out of town

shame vic didn't organize an early enrollment day or exam re-sits for tomorrow

I just went down to the chch ticketek office and got my tickets for the 4 of us
