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

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

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

The hundred is the worst cricket experience ever!

Only other time I've been to the oval I think the BCs lost b6 DW, or it was rained off. So disagree!

I’m not sure it’s the quality ( ie the chips/pies are as stodgy and shit as they were in the 80s/90s and the beer is limited ) I think it’s the price. I could be wrong but it seems to be much more expensive relatively speaking.

Prices are high everywhere aren't they and ground food was always expensive relative to the rest of the world?
Easiest thing to do, have a drink before the game, take some biltong in your pocket to eat during the game.

Jeez these young Sky Sport comms birds are dreadful. When you include Wheeler and Dagg it really is a cringe fest listening to some of these idiots pre match.
