Only in NZ

ha ha, this story really made me laugh.. especially this part:

"Two tickets being sold together for the East Stand have already attracted a bid for $425 but not all Trade Me punters are happy.

One has already threatened the seller.

"What goes around comes around for losers like you! Might deliberately win your auction - fool you into believing that I'm a genuine buyer and not turn up with the cash! Of course (sic) I wont be bidding under this account - shame on you scalper."

Another fan also expressed anger at a seller with two tickets with a current bid of $355.

"You make me and a lot of other Warrior and Roosters fans sick!!!!!! You can't be a true supporter!"

Another poster supported the seller: "Hi, I don't know why everyone gets all upset with people doing this with Warriors tickets...there are all sorts of tickets on here for sale but no one moans about them!"

Other posters have threatened violence."

That's so NZ to threaten violence over some sports tickets. ha ha. I took some time to read through the trade me auctions and was more amused by the lack of english the sellers possessed. One seller who had their tickets reached to about $555 (Gosh, they must be desperate over there to pay that much to see the Warriors!!) his language was simply appalling. I can just imagine him, sitting at home, on the dole, smoking some crack, trying to make a quick buck.  You can certainly tell this person's ethnicity. Fresh of da boat ar!
