v Jets Sun 30 Jan 5pm $5 tickets

The plight of those affected by the Queensland floods has touched the heart of Wellington Phoenix owner Terry Serepisos. 

For the Phoenix�s game with Newcastle Jets at Westpac Stadium on January 30 Mr Serepisos has made 5000 tickets available to raise money for the Queensland Flood Relief Fund. 

Half the tickets will be sold at the Wellington Phoenix shop in Hunter Street. There will be a special Phoenix Members� window between 10am and 1pm on Tuesday January 26 where members will be able to purchase a maximum of five tickets on presentation of their membership card. The balance of tickets will then go on sale after 1pm to the general public. Tickets will cost $5 with all proceeds going to the Flood Relief Fund. 

The other 2500 tickets will be on sale, also for $5, at Wellington Racing Club�s Wellington Cup Carnival on Saturday January 29 at Trentham with a maximum of 5 tickets per person. 

�Seeing on television what those people were going through really got to me,� Mr Serepisos said. 

�It hit home again when our match against Brisbane Roar had to be postponed because of the disaster. 

�Every cent from those tickets will go to the fund.� 

Mr Serepisos said he was grateful to Westpac Stadium for their co-operation in the promotion.  

Brilliant idea. Well done Mr. Serepisos.

Brilliant

Big ups!

Assuming they've done a typo as the date on Tuesday is the 25th and that's when the tickets will go on sale.

Great stuff Terry.

its a good cause... will get a bigger crowd... with a much needed victory

very nice and smart move mr s

Where will these window be? Do we get an email or something?

Will it be $5 for every ticket? or $5 for just 5000 tickets?

As I read it, 5000 tickets at $5 a pop. Nice one Terry.

its a good cause. hopefully it can bump our crowds too for another game that will be quite important in our season

I hope they donate $5 from every ticket that has already been purchased for the game as well.

Might have to invest in a few and give them away to people for the hell of it and it is a good cause!!

Brilliant idea which will hopefully bring a 10k+ crowd.

Great incentive this Terry and Wellington Phoenix.Thanks for the opportunity to buy cheap tickets for friends and family who have been in denial for so long ...they know they want to!....and all going to a very good cause.Cheers.

Well done Terry, excellent idea. I am pleased to see that season ticket holders will get the chance to introduce a few newbies to the Ring of Fire.

nice idea .Great terry

Cheers Terry, my budget was looking slim for this weekend!

Good for you Terry

Great stuff!

Great call from Terry!

I hope all the regulars who manage to buy these hand them out. Im going to try grab 5 and hand them out to a few first timers. Only $25, for a great cause and an excellent way to get 5000 more people on top of what we usually get.

hope the money goes to New Zealanders over there who don't get any government assistance....Nice the Aussie Government.......Great support Terry

this should stop donating money to the australians, just the kiwis there. the racist pricks

Suggest you check your facts. NZ Herald 21 Jan.
Kiwis in Qld to get assistance from Australian Gov.

The Gov. have a simple policy. Regardless of where you come from, you cannot get benefits unless you have been in the country for 2 years. Pretty fair I would have thought.

Will the season ticket holders have to be there in person?

Im working Tues & Sat . My sister-in-law works in town, would she be able to use my season ticket to buy some for me?

I hope the stadium don't charge him as much.  It says he's thanking them for their compliance so I hope they're doing some type of deal.  Regardless it is good to see, well done Terry!

Terry

probably, I don't see why not.

i got 4 cheap skate mates that are interested in going to the game on sunday from wanganui if anyone gets some spare $5.00 tickets give me a PM please. i am sure they will be happy to give you $10.00 each for them so you can grab a few ales for helping them out.

I got my tickets bright and early this morning, 9 others there waiting outside the store. They had 2 piles of the tickets, so you can't choose where you sit as they are pre-printed comps and no booking fee to be paid. You can't get these from your ticketek store so if you live out of town and want to go to the game, get someone in Wellington to buy them for you.

Hopefully they will sell out today.

Thanks again Terry and Westpac Stadium.

That's fantastic!! Good work Terry. Massive line outside store just now. great to see people getting behind the nix and donating to a great cause.

Quiet at shop now - and still tickets left.

I went, opened my wallet and found my tickets were in the pocket of the Jacket I worse on Sunday.

Just bought a couple of Ezy tickets online, as of 5pm...

PAX 11784

Hoping for a good turnout, especially if we can grab a positive result tomorrow night on the Coast

Will they still be selling them tomorrow?
