according to troy hearfield speaking on zb right now, only 1000 left as of an hour ago (apologies for blasphemous non recognition of pax)
'

Just so long as we haven't been duped by the Unholy Trinity (Horus / DKP / Ahmad) .. do you think they were running a Ponzi, and sales are hovering at about 8k??

We cracked 30k? I missed that. Legend.
The bigger (and perhaps currently unanswerable) question: how many more tickets are actually left to be sold?

As an only recent convert to both the PAX & the Phoenix... how many seats are actually in the Away Supporters Area? and is it bad form if you end up there to wear yellow?

someone should notify the sydney forum of the pax wiki page and get one of their lot to contribute to the page
 
contributions from two separate countries = slightly more credibility?

havent heard any definitive comments about the possibility of unleashing the seats

is there movement afoot?
 
Sales have slowed, but surely there's enough time and interest (plus media hype closer to the game) to sell out the temp seating too
 
Im assuming the regulations are different for this game than the AWs, are we allowed the seats?

There were Kiwi supporters in the Bahrain section on November 14.
 
As long as everyone remains respectful and sporting (which happened on November 14 to the entire crowds' credit), there will be fun and good times!

In case you missed it, ground members that are "seated" in Corporate boxes are still allocated a seat "in the bowl" that they have access to at any time during the game.

A "capacity" crowd therefore doesn't mean that all the seats in the bowls are occupied - there are probably some health/safety/security reasons why these people in the corporate boxes have to be allocated a seat in the bowl also.

this is correct - you can always see the big group of empty yellow seats in front of one of the lounges

And there was me thinking that those empty seats must have ben from a coach load of people and the coach broke down or something

"These 'keys' can be freed from the evil counter-deity Ticketek by the ritual sacrifice of currency. Although this a risky and life threatening affair, with the Ticketek's infernal minions going out of their way to stop the devout followers of the PAX to achieve enlightenment by obtaining their own entrance key."
 
Whoever wrote that deserves some sort of prize. Genius.

Woop woop!!!

Just come from the Nix shop in hunter street. The guys in there said there is about 1000 tickets left. They said ticket sales have been going off all day.
They were not sure if they would unlease the tempory seats...said it is someone-elses call.

Also in an article in this weeks "Wellingtonian". The CEO of Westpac stadium said that with the decline in rugby crowds the  Phoenix have become vital for the viability of the stadium.

If we are so vital how about free beer for next weekends game?...come on Stadium...its the last game of the season...we have turned up all season...we put up with your shiite food and over the top beer prices and shiite blaring music and shiite adverts.

The end is in sight. No more PAX. What happens to us now?

Oh dear I have to go out to a fundraising stocktake shortly. 
 
4pm - 9pm ... no contact with the outside world is allowed. No cell phones, Blackberries or other methods of telephonic communication.
 
So, can we please break the sell out mark in the next 10 mins!!!
 
It is tolerable (just) at night while I am asleep but otherwise I simply can not tolerate four hours without a PAX FIX.
 
I fear that the magic mark will be broken while I am locked inside the store ... if the worst comes to the worst, at that moment I shall just have to be with you all in the spirit of PAX.

I'll lower it to 34500 once we are absolutely sure there will be no temporary seats added. The only reason I've made it 40000 - the ABs v Lions got 39800 with extra seating supposedly...

Lets aim HIGH ;)

BTW the stocktake is at Kirks ... I have decide to wear Retro Ricki to the occasion, perhaps not quite usual garb while shopping there but any excuse to promote the MIGHTY NIX.

Tony P has gone offline with no mention of PAX.

Watch this clip and substitute "PAX" for every mention of drugs. Pretty accurate I reckon.

Sorry I'm relatively new to these forums. On what authority are you stating that? Are you the actual groundskeeper?

 
Thanks.
