at least 3746. 3611 Members + 135 tickets here
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?
....needs more pax...
Seriously! Gameday is nearly here, gimme some PAX farken!
Am I HardNews in disguise?
Are we entering a paxless society?
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

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!

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...
Mentioned in the membership thread, but PAX 9372 and 9373 for my tickets for this week.

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.
I am bloody fired up for Sunday.
That is all.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.
I love the way that 1st game of the season can take about 40 years (in my case) off your age. Pathetically excited. FIRED UP!
I know, I know, its serious!
It's really important we all get together at the Bencher and fire up together, share some chants etc. Is everyone coming?

Pax 10010. Good to see tonya back. Now the big question is how long until you throw in the towel? I give it 3 games
Post of the year:
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.
