PAX 27261 when I bought my tickets about 15 mins ago

That's quite disappointing really. I would be disappointed in the Wellington public if this doesn't crack 30k. Double header, EPL sides, weather looking about as good as you could hope for for July, Phoenix coming off the back of a big upset win. Should have sellout written all over it.

True but I think the ticket prices have been a big reason why they havent sold a lot more in the last couple of weeks. Especially with the publicity the tour has got. $115 for a ticket is a lot for anyone to part with. The early ticket prices were however great value.

Yeah, but this comes down to simple math. This isn't simply about getting a full house, it's about getting the right price. Let's says every one of those 27,261 tickets cost $20 less - that's over half a million lost. And with 6000 odd seats remaining, could you make that back with the same amount of tickets reduced by $20? Or is it better to hope for a good walk up?
