I dont think you can really compare them to the aussies... Nz different currency to Aus.....

have you heard of the exchange rate or PPP.

I think the bigger issue will be ticket prices next season.

 I think they need to drop the ticket prices a bit, I am sure they were much better priced last year.

 The one thing I think is the most retarded - the f**king car park prices at the Stadium.
 
 $7 a day for a car park in there, but it suddenly goes up to $30 a park when the Phoenix games are on. That's f**king price gouging.

 It's a sad day when the car park is half empty and people have to walk for miles in the wind/rain to get to the football, because Wilson Parking are a bunch of t**sers.
 
 Stadium Management and Tony P need to sort out the parking prices, they fill that up then there will be twice as many people attending.

 General admittance tickets at a football game? Get out of here!

 I was under the impression they weren't allowed general admittance tickets for A-League games.

HK have you converted Aussie dollars to NZD because if you haven't our prices are VERY high.

Perth prices  are silver (which is general seating) Adult $25 ,family $50 Aus

im happy to pay the entrance fee for the games.....its the bloody carparking charges I object to paying...its extortionate

Why not take the train?
The station is right next door to the stadium.

i will not park by the stadium because of the cost, the petrol from wanganui is dear enough without parking fees as well, i park outside a friends place up the top of tory and walk to the stadium

????? You park along Thorndon Quay. You don't have to pay for any parking when the games are on and it's about 1k closer than Tory street

i thought that was a towaway zone on fridays and saturdays,have parked their before on a sunday when i came in a friends car. 

You might have to slip in a few coins until 8p on a Friday night - so $4. On Saturday it's free after 5 or 6pm. There's no towing away for parking in metered spots anyway, just a ticket, but the games don't coincide with the meters.

Park around Parliament or the Back Bencher. That's where I go and its free after 8 on Fridays (not really help there but I doubt a parking warden would be around) and free on the weekends.

Always a park somewhere around there.

Park at law school, always empty

Friday's train Story:

1 - 6:12 train arrives at 6:30. Late to game.
2 - Train Guard won't sell us stadium tickets unless we show her our game tickets, luckily we have seasons, everyone else though was out of luck. How do you show the ticket before you get their and buy it? And as if the 20 odd people with phoenix gear weren't enough to provetheir is an event on.
3 - Tickets were wrong price to everyone on board, including the old couple who rung up before they got on the train.
4 - After making us show the game tickets, she gives us a normal train ticket. This means we have to goto the ticket office before the game and buy tickets so we can get through the gates at the end.
5 - I'm completely pissed off with this arse whipe dude at the ticket office, who then checks our IDs to see if we're students. (We don't look anything like Adults) Then has goes all nato cause we didn't say please, to which our reply, "its your f**king train guards fault we're here in the first place " to which he finally gives us the bloody tickets.

Useless things. They cost to much to.

The parking at the stadium is a complete rip off and i would not be surprised to see Whoever it is running the show making a guest appearance on "Fair go" If it is Wilsons, it would not be their first appearance, they've made several in the past. Lonegunmen2008-12-21 12:41:26

I'm getting the impression from  the above posts that transport issues could have an adverse effect on people coming to the ROF.
Although I don't think its the major reason we aren't getting the crowds-the main ones of
i) the economic downturn and
ii) team not performing consistently
 apply to all A-League teams this season.
Imho, a key advantage for any Phoenix match staged at the ROF is ease of access, where being able to
conveniently park or catch a train to the foot of the stadium should be a seamless, effortless and affordable experience.
Surely stadium management and the GWRC can realise that by making parking and train ticketing more affordable more people are likely to use the services, AND purchase product in their concession outlets (food,drink etc) along the way.
Perhaps for next season the Phoenix Management could negotiate with both parties  sponsorship agreements to make parking and train travel attractive and more affordable, either in the form of cheaper tickets week to week for every home match, and/or transport concessions for parking and train travel with every Phoenix season ticket renewal.
In the case of access from the station to the ROF on match days perhaps someone can clarify what is required by station authorities and post it on here, so every one knows.
...just a thought!

I'm pretty sure the price of the stadium parking is deliberate - the whole point of building the stadium where it was was to allow easy access by public transport.  Easy access by train, bus, and from central city, walking.  We drive in from Palmy, normally park up at Paraparaumu  station, train in from there.  Running late this time, found a park in a Wilson pay and display lot on Customhouse Quay, $4 and a 10 minute walk to our seats.  Easy as that.  If you can't walk 10 minutes to the game you've got bigger issues than most.  (I'm sure arrangements are/can be made for disabled parking for those with mobility cards so I doubt thats an issue)

Would not catch the 6:12 and expect 100% to be at the game, we always try and allow at least 1 1/2 hours.  Makes life a whole lot less stressful!

We leave whitby 45 mins before the game starts, park opposite the telecom house and get there with 5 mins to go... $8 i think

All the prices off au.fourfourtwo.com

this dickhead at the ticketing booth wouldnt sell me a yellowfever zone ticket on friday, because i wasnt over 18. when i told him that i had been sold yellowfever zone tickets for everyother game this season he shrugged and i asked for a ticket near to yellow fever so i could walk along the stand and into the zone, he said ok and sold me a ticket for bloody aisle 29. I still got into the zone but it was still a pain.

When I misplaced my season pass a couple of games back, i bought a ticket for the fever zone just fine... and im nowhere near looking 18

The stadium, as a football ground, sux.

There is a football stadium, maybe the Nix's version should be just a tad smaller though Oska2008-12-21 22:05:33

Nice, is that your Dad?

I would love for us to have a small stadium.

Better to have a small crowd pack out a small stadium than a average crowd in a huge stadium.

the staduim is the only ground that welllington has that meets FFA standards. Its been mentioned before.

As for people moaning about parking costs.....get over it!i park at the james cook on the terrace, its a 10 minute walk and costs $3 on the weekends! Either that there are parks a few hundred metres from the stadium which cost $4. Why do you need to park so close, you have legs use them - and besides its not the phoenix's call to charge $30.00 when they play, its like that fo all events at the stadium! talk to wilsons and quit moaning on here!
