I am seriously considering taking my kids to Eden Park this Saturday. They enjoyed the last time we went. I am less enthused, but there is a 2-1 offer available now which makes the 2 kids $15 total.
2.30pm Gates open
3.00pm Black Ferns Sevens v. Australia Women
3.23pm All Blacks Sevens v. Australia Men
4.35pm Blues v. Waratahs
6.40pm Black Ferns Sevens v. Australia Women
7.03pm All Blacks Sevens v. Australia Men
That's an almost unbelievable value.
It was a great night out with my kids. Ended up right beside the tunnel which gave my kids a thrill to see the players up close. Both teams were good about saying hello, signing stuff and chatting with the kids. All the 7's games were enjoyable as well. All 5 games were a clean sweep to NZ, even when in the second games of the 7's the AB's 7's were down 19-0 and 19-5. Some determination and skill to come back from those scores, my Son could barely believe it. Fans were on the whole, much better behaved than prior visits to Eden Park and the entertainment and competitions during the non-playing time was really very good. All in all $40 in tickets (and $10 in fees!!!!) was exceptional value.
7's is a lot easier to watch than 15's from the stands I must say.
