All Black Tickets autumn international tickets from STIL not selling well

In previous years you had to know exactly when the All Black tickets from STIL were going on sale because you would be lucky to get onto the overloaded website and snag a few tickets before they all sold out.

This year however the tickets have been available for several days and only 3 of the available 18 packages have sold out. Possible reasons for this could include:

  • Credit crunch
  • Availability of tickets from the host nations like Italy and France
  • Packaging of tickets into bundles that fans didn’t want e.g. with the Barbarians ticket
  • STIL’s habit of whacking 50% onto ticket prices and the complete lack of transparency of where this money goes

    I am not sure what the %’s are but the price that the home unions charge STIL/NZRFU is higher than the face value. I assume STIL put a mark up on top as well but it is unfair to say that it is all STIL mark up

    Are you sure? Where is your proof?

    And since this does seem plausible then why don’t STIL/NZRU openly say what is added by who and where?

    We know prices are hiked by 50% but we don’t know where it goes. I think fans have finally had enough.
