International Vice-Captain
Hi all. It's been a long time.
Listen, purely for my own amusement: does anyone have any ticket stubs from international matches *in New Zealand* over the last decade or so? I'm actually pretty appalled at how expensive it's become to attend cricket here, and especially how rapidly prices have climbed in recent years.
Putting aside all arguments about what exactly a fair price is, I'm wondering how closely reality matches what I remember. What I do know is that when I used to work at the National Bank a while ago, a day's play at any given test was $15. Four years ago when I attended the Basin test against Australia, I was caught out by the $33 gate price. Now it's at least $43 for all matches.
So, any info you might have or remember would be very interesting.
