I honestly don't know, but it works in other countries

Bigger populations?

And a gazillion times better public transport.

But as a percentage Auckland is much bigger pop than London, Paris, Edinburgh etc. So, in theory, it should work better to have all the games in the biggest stadium in the biggest (by a HUGE margin) pop centre

[BerniesCorner]

You need games in smaller centres but don't overdo it

@mariner4life

Could Auckland sustain 3-4 home tests per year?

@nzzp

With our record there, I’d be happy for them to be banned from hosting again!

Any stadium that doesn't sell out should be banned from games for 10 years, absolutely shit to not sell out. Previously it was only that bloody cantabs that would do this

not sold out yet? dont know if this has changed much since yesterday

Quite frankly, that’s shithouse and oh so provincial

We need redbeard here to talk about the costs of the tickets, parking, beers, chips etc to point out where the problem lies. I've just put in and for two adults, two children it's 300 for the end. 500 for the middle.

I guess there will be another hundy spend on that so 400 or 600.

Actually, thats not too bad I suppose.

Perhaps they have to sell at inflated prices knowing they're covering for all the unsold tickets

@MiketheSnow

The old catch 22 right there

@Dan54

All you should be thinking of is finally seeing a win in Wellington!!

An improvement from the Foster era, if it happens

@Machpants

Twickers is 82000 capacity with about 15 million people living within 2 hours of it

[MiketheSnow]

Principality is 74,500 with about the same. But not all Welsh. And certainly not all rugby fans

the big thing define '2hours', that's every internal flight in NZ. Anyway, London pop as a percetnage is half what auckland is

Walking up to jump on a train is vastly different than having to fly. Could probably add about an hour either side of flight length, not to mention you've still gotta get to and from the airport!

[DaGrubster]

@Machpants

Car or train travel - 2 hours

2 hours flight is about 150 million people!!

Doesn’t matter about the % of the country population.

Twickers only needs to find 0.5% of close surrounding population ti fill it.

Eden park needs about 3%

Caketin about 8%

My maths could be slightly out. I’m no Good Will Hunting (but I do like apples)

[Machpants]

Yeah so Eden Park much better than Welly, so simple to drop other locations in these times of financial distress, IMO

[MajorPom]

@DaGrubster Thats exactly it.

@MikeTheSnow, how much do you think Cardiff tickets would be for an Argie game? Given that stadium is about 25% of the local population!

Although, that more of a whole game day experience really. Given that the stadium is perfectly positioned.
