[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 646271, member: 20605"] Nope, you're not making it up. I posted about this in the "Test Window Madness" thread... [TEXTAREA]It is a fact that the PI unions make much more money from a test v the All Blacks in New Zealand than in the Pacific Islands. This is the case even in stadia with comparable capacities, and the reason for this is well understood by anyone who lives here. Quite simply, PI's that live in New Zealand are financially MUCH better off than those still living in the homelands. Many of them send some of their NZ wages back to their families in the islands. If you compare a test in, say, Apia Park (capacity 15,000) with one staged at, say, Mount Smart Stadium (30,000), the level of ticket pricing in Samoa to get the same return would be so high that not many people could afford to go.[/TEXTAREA] [/QUOTE]
