Ah, rent a crowd, how wonderful.

Free tickets are always given away by clubs and sponsors, that's just a part of sport these days, however this usually involves only a few hundred tickets. What I was referring to is the fact that 10,000 tickets are being given away to a Semi-final. While I don't doubt the commitment of true Warriors fans in both NZ or Oz, I find it astounding that a stunt such as this should be necessary.
Not all clubs are paranoid about their levels of patronage, and thus do not feel the need to "bribe" a fanbase.
