***MH*** said:just do what rugby do for the bledisloe cup and pay out selective schools and northern shore business companies, keep 80% of the tickets for their private use and sell the remaining 20% at an outrageous pricing standard to the public. guaranteed sell out!
Woods99 said:I heard that the 80% of tickets are actually paid for by rich rugby union followers, and then given to ordinary people who are PAID to attend.
Some of the paying spectators are supposed to fly here from New Zealand! How unlikely is that!
Incidentally, I have definite information that the moon landing was a fake.

The idea it to plant a seed in people's minds that Telstra Stadium is the venue for the big RL events.
RU proved this by placing tests in Subiaco, over and over again, even though the spectacle was always p*ss poor.
The event was built up continuously and more and more come.
Australia will have games there in 2006, then a world cup in 2008. The plan is to build up a culture of big RL games at Telstra Stadium.
If done successfully up to 2008, we'll get 80,000 for the WC final, and that prestige wise would kick the sh*t out of the rah-rahs
Woods99 said:I hope that the next rugby league World Cup is a success. It would be wonderful if it can draw as many overseas spectators as the RU World Cup, and the Lions tour.
It is actually possible to prefer one code, without wanting the other to fail.
Believe it or not.
Moffo said:We really need an innovative way to move the tickets as we won't sell it out off normal promotion
I would advocate a PR exercise with the schoolkids across Sydney that ties in with the kids2kangaroos promotions. Give em 20k tickets
That leaves us with 60k
Make the first 10k tickets sold to the GF a double ticket where you get entry to the test as well
That leaves us with 50k
Sell 10k tickets through vodafone to the kiwi supporters so there is a genuine atmosphere
That leaves us with 40k
Take out 5,000 members
35k
We can sell 35k, that would be about right

Debate is great .... but at a certain point debate evolves into something that belongs in TFC.Woods99 said:Copa,
You guys are not afraid of a little debate every now and then, surely?
Woods99 said:Do I sound rich?
I played both codes, but don't like bullsh*t from either side.
