he's not exactly saying much, but i agree with his overall premise
although "investigates" is a really strange word to use for a short article that interviews exactly no one.

I think the pricing was all wrong, and the marketing was all wrong. If I were a benevolent dictator, it would have been cheaper tickets (normally 75% of price), but then have deeper discounts for large groups. The more the merrier.
Family packs for west and east stand
Packs for groups of 4+ or 10+ in the main standsYa just gotta fill the place! With 10 days notice, you can market it as a 'special'. Maybe you hit the walkup crowd from the first week, but at 25% standard discount I doubt it.

One article pointed out that they couldn’t reduce the ticket prices as those who paid for Bled 1 would complain. What a pile of shit, I paid full dollar for the first test, and would’ve gone for a second if they really reduced the prices. Covid forced the move be flexible, maeke two for one deals and kids deals and stuff. Just lack of flexibility.
Oh and fucking drop Steinlager as a sponsor FFS

hell - reward those who come for Round 2 with a deeper discount. Buy your seat again priority period for 50% off. FFS, no imagination.

that was a ridiculous argument when it was first aired, and looked even worse when the vast swathes of empty seats were revealed at kick-off.

So, yellow or orange? Wallabies uniform was confused as their rugby. Neither is gold!
When I say some clothes or a haircut looks stupid my wife says ‘ it’s fashion ‘ like that makes it all ok ,
Maybe it’s fashion

Watched the game again. Best ABs performance since the Quarter Final against Ireland in 2019. Not getting too carried away as Australia are a second-rung international side but nice to see some significant improvement from the ABs at last. Better physicality, good option taking, communication and execution.
Still areas for improvement: the scrum, defence, kick offs.
The ABs were really shit about taking the high balls there - bodes well against the boks…

I think a wider point is that the NZRFU was trying to get the same 50,000 people (from a city of roughly 2 million) to come back again, rather than there being (1) enough demand for the stadium to sell out twice, and (2) an effort to get new/different spectators to come along.

both great ideas! DCA the tickets of tests to real fans and reward those people in the community who have sacrificed for the majority. I would support free for nurses even! Empty seats look like bad marketing.

Fucking shambles all round
If NZ Test rugby was like the EPL - 19 home games a year - I'd get it.

NZR seems like a complete shambles for the last 2 years.......

Thought Akira was awesome on Sat. Really came of age. Seemed to go forward no matter what was hitting him and was brutal in defense.
