any more recent PAX #s? Would love to know how sales are tracking today paulm2010-02-20 12:56:12

just bought a mate a couple of tickets online 17654-17655

Newspaper said 13,000 I think..

I wonder where the 4K walk up estimate comes from, was that the number of walk-ups to the CCM game last week?, if that isn't an already expanded number to premept the finals game - wouldn't a guess of 6-7K be closer to the mark for walkups tomorrow?

This PAX thing is all a bit of a mystery!
 
I got tickets around 10 am on  Monday and the PAX was 1370..after heavy first hour sales to members...

so the PAX can't include memebrs/corporates of around 2000????

Anyway it looks like a big crowd with fine weather coming..can't wait

Judging by Ticketek silver allocations Aisles 14 and 15 are all but full. That leaves Aisles 12 and 13 to sell before silver tickets would need to be allocated out of the "empty quarter", Aisles 2 to 7.

Comon 20K Lets show the rugby how its done.

fair call, you got me puzzled then!

its all over the place. I'll just wait for the game :)

in other words - we don't know lol

Hope the crowd is between 25 & 30 K...

Company I work for has a corporate box (which I politely decline for the Nix games), the tickets for are exactly the same as normal match day tickets with the PAX and all, just with a Box number rather than an aisle number. AFAIK the tickets are generated and printed only when the owner decides to open the box for the event in question, this may or may not be as soon as tickets are available (accounting for the low PAX first thing on Monday).

Also for some Nix games, we have all 20 box tickets printed and available, but no one wants to go to the game so half the tickets go unsed (hence Tony P's statement that only half may turn up). Box is completely full for this Sunday though...

If anyone is interested the Waitakere OCL vs AC Magenta was nudging 100+ 

That will be the Phoenix's fault.

I'm driving down from auckland way tomorrow. Any suggestions on where I should aim for to park? I don't mind stretching my legs for a walk to the stadium after the big trip. Suggestions guys please. 

Free parking Sunday still on Thorndon Quay (before/after Beds R Us)????????????????? Or will this even spur the council into charging us?

There is parking at the stadium directly.

I think it's about $30 for the night though. =|

or park across the road for $20

mind you, there was no-one there last week taking in money so we got in free !!!!

Depends on how early you get in to Wgtn, but anywhere around the National librabry/Back Bencher (Molesworth St or side roads) is free.  Walk up to the RoF along the concourse (Fran Wilde Walk) is 750 m - a good stretch for the legs. Junior822010-02-20 19:55:42

Flicked to the oval ball game at the cake tin going on just now. Very small compared to what will be at the ring of fire tomorrow.

is it on iraqtries.net?

They better not scruff up the turf !!   simon_hampton2010-02-20 20:17:38

Right now in the first game of Wellington vs western australia the Aussies are losing 23-8

Yeah, radio commentary were suggesting that the Rugby Union call of 15k sold yesterday was 'generous'.

For a visiting fan this is one of the highlights of the Nix experience in my opinion, the walk of anticipation along with the regular fans.

Yeah, but I hate walking out after a loss, thankfully haven't had that for ages !! I remember 4-2 loss against Melbourne as a particularly miserable walk back in the rain and wind.

Walk-offs?

 

^^ At any rate, not with a crowd of 20,157 tomorrow ... (that's my guess!)
