I wasn't definitely saying all Auckland tickets should be $25 but there's a big gap between the $25 that people have been proven to be willing to pay and the $80+ that many are not.

Personal view is that $40-$50 would be a fair price.

at that price they'd have to sell twice as many tickets. On a weeknight in Auckland, I'm not so sure that'd happen. I think theyve got it marginally too expensive perhaps, but its a pretty fine line. Its hard to get people along on a weekday, so they probably figured they'd price it high and those who were desperate to go will pay, then make sure to sell Wellington out. To be fair, this seems to be what is happening. 

I see what you're saying, I just don't see Auckland turning out no matter what the price is I guess. Ideally the school holidays were a week later, that would've probably helped.
