Wellington is a different market because most of the crowd that attend matches are bureaucrats.
That's not even close to true.

Beer options are always shit at home ABs matches as it's steinlager and nothing else
I gave up drinking at the stadium years ago. Expensive, macrolagers served from plastic bottles ... with long queues ... just not worth it.
-
Never been much of a fan of steinlager myself, seems to me there are better NZ beer options esp in Wgtn.

Well it is when you are talking about a lot of people close to the city. If you know how many people have lost their jobs throughout Wellington right now it’s definitely got some part to play in low ticket sales. That, and the fact that the average kiwi’s don’t have the money to fork out atm. I’m one person and I know about 10 people that have lost their job because of the cuts going on atm. I don’t think spending 80 odd dollars on an AB test is a priority right now. Even more when you factor in the extras.
Stupid by NZ Rugby to even consider having two tests here in one year with everything the way it is atm. Auckland’s fine because they have the population.

Does anyone ever make a decision to go to a game based on the beer and food on offer?
When we used to have big crowds all you could get was a hot dog and some shit beer from your region (Lion Red, DB etc).
That's all you would get at the local pub back then too though. Decent options at a fair price would make me go more often.

@Canes4life I'm not reading all that blah when it's completely not true that most people who attend matches in Welly are bureaucrats. That's absolute garbage.

Really? Personally I don't get that. I go to live rugby for rugby. If I want to good food and beer I'll go to restaurants and hipster brewery bars. But each to their own.

I just get irritated by being charged restaurants and hipster brewery prices for pie and chips and bog standard beer.

@antipodean went to the hundreds cricket at the oval the other night, at the bottom of the stairs for our entrance was a vending machine with sausage rolls. £5. For a fucking vending machine sausage roll!

I’m sure a vending machine sausage roll tastes as good as it sounds and is worth the price.

That bit is stretching it but the rest isn’t.
Loads of people are doing it tough and extortionate prices for shitty food and piss on top of high ticket prices for a team like Argentina are out of reach for heaps of people these days.
We’re lucky it’s actually a nice still calm night in the nations capital tonight, could be a lot worse in an August evening

$10 would have me risk losing weight.

The waffle dogs at Athletic Park were always one of the highlights of a trip to the rugby as a kid
