Ok ok... Fly from Melbourne to Christchurch to watch the game.. must say totally worth it. Should I pre order my tickets now or buy on game day??
I'd advise anyone thinking of just turning up on the day and buying tickets to book now and avoid the inevitable queues...
Christchurch people always turn out in droves at the last minute - to the extent that kick-off often has to be postponed to get all the last-minute punters in.
Large walk-up crowds happened to some extent at the last two Nix games in Chch but the worst was the last two All Whites games where 10,000 turned up, most without booking and kick-off had to be delayed...
Chch has the sort of support for big football games that 10,000 turned up to a low-key friendly against Malaysia at QE II in 2006.
Sales for this one now more than 5000 I believe - so all the moaning about poor sales turned out to be wrong!
Go the Nix !!! Can't wait for tomorrow !!!
