That is actually a concern for me. All the wasted complimentaries where people can't be arsed to show even on a freebie, whilst others with a few kids get slammed financially when they show up nearly every week. Almost like Corpratre Boxes. Sure they have been paid for in advanced but wouldn't it be nice to actually see people filling them instead of sitting there vacant?

A lot of them are just tickets given to sponsors who then don't bother doing anything with them. We always have a bunch at work that just sit there. Usually try to get them to people who wouldn't go otherwise (have kids so can't afford to take them etc) if I found out about them somehow.

Simon Hampton has mentioned "Based on current sales, Phoenix projecting a crowd of 8,500 for season opener on Sunday."

Was hoping for more, so hopefully a nice day we can get a walk up crowd and see closer to 10,000

I really hope we get there, want the crowd, the chanting and the result!

I think Tegal has it right on this point; good to have those spare/unused complimentaries given to people that don't usually go to games in the hope they like it and end up paying to go in future. The majority of these 'free tickets' are not actually free are they? they are provided in return for sponsorship of some kind whether it be money or services. I also sense a degree of wanting something for nothing in your posts LG yet you are quite happy to spend over the odds on Nix and QPR shirts

How is the projected crowd only 8 500 if we have a pax of 9200?

Pax does not equal people through the gate. It roughly equals allocated possible tickets disbursed...

Yeah i know but surely there will be enough of a walk up crowd to make the actual crowd over 9000 atleast?

Our work box is often closed as they don't want to pay for the catering apparently, so the tickets are just swapped out for bowl tix.

Actually i wasn't wanting anything, i am happy with paying my way and my st. I was talking about the families with a couple of kids around an age where they might enjoy the game. So your degree was sadly mistaken.

Had this really scary nightmare - like I guess most nightmare's are - but like, this one was extra scary. We had to play at this AFL football stadium somewhere in the Wellington central railway yards - weather was appalling - was so hot you could hardly breath. Temperatures racing into the early 20's - and even more alarming, there was no wind at all. Don't know why we were playing there - think the Petone Football Stadium was closed for terrace extensions due to the membership demands after last seasons championship win, or something like that.

Anyway - this Wellington Central railway yards stadium nightmare gets worse. Desperate for beer in the searing 21 degree heat - all I could buy inside the stadium was Tui - like a little plastic bottle of Tui for almost 10 bucks. Chips were a dollar each - and the other multiple food choice option was a pie wrapped in plastic, a sure sign of meat absence, and expiry date questionability. It gets worse - when I found my seat, it turns out we were playing Manchester City. WTF. I tried to wake myself up - you know what it's like when you realise its probably just a nightmare, but you can't snap yourself out of it. We were wearing the Waikato Chiefs strip and City had some white with red stripe kit going on, which apparently one of their historical feeder clubs used to wear. Everytime I took a Tui bathroom break - City scored - like they scored from everywhere - ended up about 5-nil or something. Bit vague about that. Woke up sweating so much. Phew - it's good to be awake again.
