Cricket : Special offer for ticket holders after rain-affected ODI

Ticket holders from the rain-affected One Day International between the BLACKCAPS and the West Indies in Christchurch last Saturday have been offered a discount on tickets for the ODI against India in March.

Discounts of $10 or $5, depending on the type of ticket, can be redeemed up to the end of February.

The offer from New Zealand Cricket and Ticketek means people who purchased tickets to the West Indies game can take their ticket to any Ticketek outlet and access tickets to the BLACKCAPS vs India game at AMI Stadium on Friday 20 March, at the same price.

Under this offer, tickets to the India ODI normally priced at $35 and $25 can be purchased for $25 and $20 respectively. The $40 adult/child combo in the National Bank Neighbourhood will be available for $30.

The “same price” offer can only be redeemed at Ticketek outlets and is available only until 28 February – it is not available on match day.

NZC Commercial Manager Peter Dwan said the offer would help compensate for the disruption caused by the four-hour rain delay.

“Even though Saturday’s game produced an exciting contest, we recognise the rain and hail shortened the game and impacted on the spectator experience,” he said.

“We’ve worked as quickly as possible with Ticketek to put this offer in place as a thank you to the fans. They turned out in droves for last weekend’s game – we’re confident they’ll do the same when the Indians are in town.”

Ticket prices include the stadium levy on adult tickets, but not the Ticketek service fee.
