Lots of people (well Dome at least) saying the ticket prices are not out of line compared to the aussie clubs. The problem is NZ income doesn't compare well Aussie... yet we are still 5th most expensive.
From stuff article:
"The cheapest adult tickets for Phoenix home matches, both men’s and women’s, are $32 (AU$29.13) if bought in advance.

That makes them the fifth-most expensive buy in A-League Men, behind Victory at AU$30 ($33), Melbourne City at AU$31.30 ($34.43), Central Coast Mariners at AU$31.95 ($35.145) and Sydney FC at AU$37.35 ($41.09).

For example Victory is $30AU... so at a glance we look less expensive by about 3%, yet when you compare average salaries of Wellington and Melbourne my quick google search and math converts to about 30% higher average income in Melbourne. I'm assuming the Sydney one would work out similar (I know if I did my job there I'd be on about 50% more).
Also buying in advance for a casual fan seems less likely in Wellington due to weather considerations - more likelyhood of a really shark day, compared to a city such a Perth.
