NZR needs to reduce the ticket prices to get more people through the gate.
In this single instance, yes. Back to back at EP, with little notice -- I just acn't get excited enough about either team to fork out another $80.
I will be in Auckland on Sat, but for an event that was organised because there was to be a weekend free of AB tests. That's worked out well!

@frank its boring, fucks the Wallabies up mentally and is bad for the game.
Do you even like rugby? All you ever do is whinge about Australia playing NZ (Super/internationals). Maybe league with State of Origin is more your speed?

Enjoy the game, it will the be ABs last one in NZ this year

@kiwimurph it'll probably be the lowest attendance percentage of any ABs test Vs a tier 1 nation. 50%? 60? The first one almost sold out I think, but Eden park is a shitty ground, the only beer was fucking awful Steinlager for 9.50 a can, and most of the rugby rubbish. I enjoyed the whole event, cos I like being into the live support vibe with banter and high fives with everyone around. But the experience provided at the ground really tries it's best to be rubbish and over priced as possible. And Foster's ABs are as often as not utter wank. Gregor's article about how overpriced rugby is post pandemic is right, how much streaming entertainment do you get for a single test ticket?
-
I thought NZR needed money?
Seriously tho it is a bit of an ask for locals to turn up two weeks in a row for the same opponent with likely the same outcome. I recall someone saying here that the cheapest seats were $80 which is poor form if you want to sell the joint out - particularly with travel restrictions.

There's no travel restrictions in NZ, or do you mean international visitors coming to the game? But yeah that's the point, tickets are over priced and the food/drink even more so

The West stand is OK. I was sitting there for some of the 2011 RWC games. A different perspective to watch end on.
I can understand why NZR haven't reduced the prices because those that had already bought tickets to Bled 1 could rightly complain.
Maybe a half-price deal for fans that went on Sat to attract more people is a good option.

I've tried it out in various games when bringing the kids along (daughter is not interested at all in rugby only goes to get the burger and chips, has been known to sleep and wear earmuffs...). I just don't like being end on
