Obviously not much interest in Auckland about getting better value to watch an EPL team, only sold 319 tickets

At some point in the day the counter must have been reset as I saw it at 9 at midday but Patrick saw it at 760-ish earlier in the same morning.

So all up, how many have been sold in each of the cities?

In a city that struggles for ticket sales at the best of times, I doubt Aucklanders really see $90 for a friendly as "great value" I'm afraid.

That $25 Grabone offer is about as much as most will pay!

As an ex-Aucklander I think you are right, $90 is not ' great value'

I love my Phoenix and my football. But times are a bit tough financially for me right now. So $90 is far to steep

not quite right. NZ has many fantastic craft beers. Many to be found in wellington. Unfortunately, the people who run the various stadia don't understand this. They and the teams sponsored by the Foreign owned breweries, continue to expect people to blindly drink their bland lagers. All I'd like is choice. Sure sell the mass produced stuff, but give me a decent (sorry not boundary road) beer to buy.  All the lack of choice means is a lack of any sales from me at the game, this hurts the sellers at the stadia whilst I visit a nice bar where I have a choice.  One day, maybe, we'll be like many of the games in the USA, and have a beer and food festival at each game (yes with stalls selling Heineken) so people can have a choice.

And while they are at it,forget about those tired old standard meat pies and chips, I want gourmet pies - what's wrong with a nice brie and couscous pie? or cassava chips with celery and sassafrass salt fried in alligator dripping. Honestly, what planet are these food and drink outlets on - I come to the football to enjoy a gastronmic feast, not to chow down on boring food. Don't get me started on the beer......

No matter what's promised or what changes food wise - it's all still going to be cooked in a disgusting grotty stadium kitchen by the same long haired greasy faced pimply pencil necked bogans.

Ten bucks and a tip of the hat to Brenda, who has intervened to sort out problems which have prevented my credit card payment for tix and Nix membership going through until now!

So in other words they fucked up, didn't realise due to their own incompetence and until you made contact, then ran the very basic transaction process correctly and BINGO! It worked. Says a lot about these clowns when we need to give them cudos for shit like this, as though it's exceptional that a bunch of retards have managed to process a payment correctly.

Turns out mine were sent to my old address, despite me changing it online. Talked to Brenda though and she emailed me some ezytickets. Happy with that.

I've been fortunate that all of our memberships and other tix sales have gone through without any hiccups (may have been one which I called up and was fixed pronto).  This one we were charged about a dollar more than what was advised from the email receipt.  Can't be @rsed querying that.

So now we have season passes renewed and FUT tix in hand...

...FIRE UP!!!

... er, no, AJ, you're clearing the wrong conclusion from a standing start. What happened was that my credit card was stolen, thus cancelled, before they could process the transaction, so we had to process it again with the new card. I was complimenting Brenda's customer service.

Think it is about time everyone here emailed Tickettek, praising Brenda's customer service and stating she deserves a substantial pay rise as she seems the only person working there, fixing problems and holding the place together. Have just sent mine.

As predicted. No stress, pulled all my tickets requested for Orklund and Wellington from my mail box tonight.

Well done the team.

It is possible you did imagine your mate, I read this account recently:

"Only a few of years ago this happened, I was getting ready to go out convinced I was going to see some very dear friends at Mc Donalds in town. I knew them well and we worked together and everything and I was sure this had been arranged and everything - then as I was about to call one of them I realised I didn't have any of their numbers.. in fact.. I began to slowly realise that not one of them actually existed.. it was a bit disorientating as I was sure I knew these people and yet.. I didn't know them and I couldn't have known them. Either I am completely insane to have thought I knew non existent people or.. just maybe... something wiped them from the face of the Earth entirely - a time traveller perhaps? Did I slip into another universe and not realise..? This happened a few times in 2007 and 2008.. I kind of got used to it and didn't say anything.. but now looking back on it.. I wonder. Haven't experienced anything like it since"

You may wanna call before you head up there, just sayin'

well I do have his number, so that's a start. 

Though I can't reach it right now. That could either be because I'm in Brazil, or because he isn't real.

Actually that'll be me.  And what's wrong with asking you what you are wearing at the moment?
