1. Overall a very solid show.

    Would probably be elevated more on my list, but given the amount of exposure of tours over the last 4 years that slightly impacts it for me. That's just a personal opinion of course.

    I am sure you will enjoy it either way!

    Hope you guys got bumped to really good seats for Auckland 2, if the crowd numbers were poor.

    Did they end up closing the far (south) stand, or upper tiers?

    I only seen pictures taken from what I think was the south stand and if you look closely you could see it wasn’t full however I have to hold my hands up now and say it was much better than I thought it would be. Nowhere near as little as 50% full. Maybe 80% full something like that. I’ll find a picture just now.
  4. I'm having trouble loading photos from my room but yes it was pretty full
  5. Wow, that's a very good result

    Nope I was delighted to be wrong. I’ll always hold my hands up when wrong, it’s the only thing that makes it easy to be so opinionated in the first place. It’s only when people can’t admit there wrong that being opinionated can be a problem.
  7. The evidence was alwsys there to support his concern. Less than 2 weeks ago there were literally thousands of tickets left and it was looking bleak.
  8. The last time I checked a couple weeks ago, there were THOUSANDS of tickets available. I just assumed it was going to be a Popmart-like half full stadium. I'm not sure how they pulled it off, but they ended up with at least a 90% full stadium.

    Unfortunately opinions are not facts.
