The one down side of a 'do it yourself' tour like this is the fact that the travel companies offer tickets for the semis and final while we have to take our chance in the Ballot in February 2011. Mind you when you see that some of the trips are around £15,000 for two for a 17 day campervan tour it makes the 49 day Where's Nelly Tour seem very cheap.
The tickets for the Final are priced at £600,£550,£400 and £200- Ouch. I don't want to Jinx our chances in the Ballot but for two people the cheapest you are going to be bale to see the final is for £400.
Anyone else think these are a tad overpriced. I know its the final and you can make comparisons with the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup but even so, often you can get cheaper lower end tickets. In this case the third best tickets for a couple will cost you £800. However I'm still hoping we get the chance to debate whether we go for it or not by being successful in the ballot so watch this space. If the Ballot computer is listening I didn't mean it honest.
Oh I have thought of another down side- You don't get a nice tour wallet with a map of NZ in it. Im sure we can fix that.
