Ticket Sales for Wellington!!

That's just bad spin. The fact is 13,000 pre sales is on track for a crowd nudging 20,000 which would be the biggest in NZ thus far and quite a healthy figure.

I thought it was a stupid statement by the NZRL earlier in the series that Christchurch and Wellington needed to get out and support the Kiwis, or there would be no more tests in those parts.

Wellington got 26,580 in 2001 and 25,015 in 2002 for tests vs Aus ... it's a slap in the face that they haven't been back since, if you ask me!

INTERESTING ...

I heard this story on the news and it said something along the lines of,

" to avoid a low crowd the NZRL will be giving away thousands of tickets to junior league players. Only 13,000 tickets sold thus far"

They did the same for Chch. 13,000 tickets is more than what Chch had sold at the same time.

I heard on the radio this morning that 13,000 sold as of last night. Bought my tickets today and the PAX was 12,097.

Still i think most people will wait to see what the weather is like but i still see us getting at least 17,000. Most of the tickets on half way are sold.

Wellington has outdrawn Auckland in recent years. The NZRL should realise this. I expect a healthy crowd.
