What's the most you'd pay, on a game by game basis (not season
ticket) to watch the beloved Phoenix?
$20?
$30?
$40?
Hurricanes tickets range from $25 - $10 Squillion - but that's
just stupid, media hyped, 'pick ball up and run' game not
football, chances are there isn't as much support for
football and as such football tickets should be
cheaper...
Do you think they should go for the mass market and charge $10
(and get 20K people) or charge $30 and get 5K?
Any thoughts on what the ticket price might be?
I've just added a wee poll to canvas ticket price "preparedness to
pay". 
Great minds think a like...nice one phil_style
im saying :
Children Under 10: Free
Students : $12
Adults : $20
im pretty sure those were the gate sales at the kingz games at
ericcson stadium.
There is a significant difference between $20 and $29.99.
I'd be happy at $20, but have a lot of concerns in the late $20's.

$20 for the Kingz may have been reasonable but that was 8 years
ago, inflation will have taken its toll by now.

I'll let this poll run for a few days, then I'll do another
one, breaking down the most favoured price ranges a bit
further.
I dont think youll be able to snatch a ticket for less than
20bux...

As an adult i paid $8 and sat on the grass behind the goal for the
first Kingz game. $20 to $25 is about what it should be. Doesn`t
Wellington have the highest average wage in N.Z.?Well, at least 20 people would buy tickets. .. . that's a start I
suppose . . .. .
i would not pay $15+ im a student, i think a good price is $5-10 if
its much higher i think it would put people off going to the
stadium. Remember you can watch on tv.
I'd pay mid 20's. We'll see what the deals are for a season pass.
I am always of the opinon that it makes more sense to
charge a bit less and make it more attractive as an
option something to do. There is always so much going on in
Wellington. I'd like to see families able to afford to go
too. They need to create a large fan base first, play
well and win some games. After a couple of seasons revisit ticket
prices.
It doesn't seem realistic to compare a football team in their
first season to the Hurricanes. We do have a good football
following down here though. Lots to consider!
My .10c

that is Way to chaep they would make no money unless they
got a huge crowd in. Westpac stadium is very expensive.
Those who think Ticket prices will be cheap have another thing
coming. I mean your not going to sell them any less than what you
pay to see the hurricanes...
with a name like wpfc or death i hope ud starve to scrape togeather at least 20$ per game, cmon team wellington was 7$ i think (i had a season ticket) and thats at newtown park which is not on the same planet as the westpac. Maybe 20$ wiv your student pass, and marginally higher for non concessions.

my point is that no one will go aT $15+ maybe the 700 odd on this
site that live in welly, ask yourself how many wellingtonians would
pay 20 bucks to watch football when only 1000 odd would pay 7 bucks
to see team wellington. Maybe "yellow fever" can get cheaper prices
for fans but i think that 15 bucks + is just robbery.
say its $20-25 thats more than you pay in greece to see the champions league teams PAO, AEk and OSFP and those football teams are much better than the A-league teams.
but hey maybe the city will prove me wrong and 30,000 people go to the first game at $30 per ticket

cheers hard news, cant see prices being a great deal less
than this (the hurricanes) to be honest, i dont mind payin thirty
bucks but i'm quite sure crowds will dwindle especially if
performances dont come.

Less than 1000 odd Victorians pay $5 to see a Victorian Premier League game - its got nil to do with the ticket prices.
Telstra Dome is $20 general admission (I'm 90% sure) and I think Olympic Park was $15 for standing. 20 should be the maximum. Can someone tell/show me where General Admission seating in Westpac is though? It could have a better view than behind the goals at the Dome.
I would think the ticket prices should be more in line with what it
costs to see the Wellington Lions and the not the Hurricanes.
Tickets to see the Lions are a good $10-15 cheaper
not sure about ticket prices in greece but im quite sure that in
any other european country tickets are far more expensive than
30$, i support Preston North End (who have just thrown
away chance of making playoffs to prem and are in championship) and
i know prices there are 20pounds or about sixty dollars for the
cheapest, so i afraid you cant compare teams from other countries
especially europe. I'm for student concessions and getting a decent
crowd but i'm also for not going bankrupt in the first
season!
The tickets wll at least 15$ and i can almost guarentee that.
Soccer these days isnt what it was in the oldern times, people are
in it to make money, im sorry but thats the truth. Sure their are
exceptions with all the die hards, but the majority behinds the
scenes is all tied up with money.
If you want to make money your going to have to appeal to
everyone and i dont think 20$ is asking alot, i mean soccer is THE
world sport.
its already costing me a fortune to get to Wellington. Something
cheaper than 20 dollars... PLEASE!
I'll probably only be able to afford to travel to one game, so
ticket price doesn't concern me too much as i'll pay whatever
(within reason). $15-20 is quite reasonable. Beg Air New Zealand
for some discounted rate for an airfare if you have a ticket to the
game!
Whatever happens though, the mistakes the Knights made can not be repeated. Not offering different price levels for different parts of the stadium, as well as gouging fans for a sub standard product - barring the last month or so are unforgivable.

Btw, that is an absolute robbery!
CHILDRENS TICKETS -should be no more than $5 with family
concessions available.
Paid $25 to watch the Knights
From memory the Kingz was $40 for a family. I
think season tickets for the Kingz were $90 and you got a kids
one for free. Might have been $110 including our supporters
club membership.
Maybe some of the Aucklanders might have a better memory than
me but i think those are correct.
Knights tickets to A League games were definiately more
expensive than the Kingz.
A dog with a bone :)
I think for season tickets for the Pheonix your looking at a price
of 160+.
That could be a bit of a coup if Air New Zeaalnd gave cheap
airfares for supporters to get to Wellington since Qantas is one of
the big sponsors of the A league!

time to email NZ and Quantas and see who can do the best deal
I think.
Does anyone know when the season tickets are coming out? You'd think they'd want them on sale at the same time as the drip-fed announcements of player signings come out.
Looks pretty settled and that the consensus indicates anywhere
between $15 and $30 is the right price for a single ticket to a
game.
Maybe we should dump a poll up now to see how much people
would be prepared to pay for a season ticket?
Last season there were earlybird season tickets, so 11 games plus
the pre-season games. Around $220 (correct me if I'm
wrong). Roughly $15 a game.
You could spot the season ticketholder because we all had the
A-Leage caps from game one.

Get real man!! This is good level professional
football at a quality stadium. God I used to pay $7 to go
watch Miramar at Centennial Park in the mid 90's in the old
national league and it's more than that to watch Team
Wellington.
We have to recognise the level of football that we are getting
here, would you expect to pay $5-10 to go to the
championship/league 1? (not re-starting the old what level is the
A-League debate mind)
And watching on TV is no comparison for the real fan is
it?

Normo's coming home
we'll see my friends we'll see, I personnaly think that the first
few games should only be $5 for adults 18+ and free for every one
else on the theory that people will buy more booze/food at the
game. It worked at the cricket world cup when they made it free
they made more money. Once the team grows then start charging
$15+
well I payed 10 euros to see my team play in Athens and that to me was reasonable, if i could get into gate3/2/5(gate 13)It would have been cheaper.I think 20 quid for a championship team is robbery, i heard the prem is 60 quid, ok thats one of the best leagues in the world filled with stars but 180odd bucks f**k that

Too true JD....
When you think you can pay $25 bucks to watch a movie in an
armchair (for God's sake) there is no way that you are going to get
away with paying less than that to;
1. Get into a quality stadium
2. See Australasia's best football players
3. Experience 2 to 3 hours (all up, say) awesome
atmosphere
4. And support your local team
Fat chance...
I'm expecting $25 for a ticket and around $250 for a season
ticket (encompassing 10-13 games)
