Ticket sales for upcoming NZ series a big worry I hear. Too expensive? Home team too poor? You'd think these small grounds and this supposed great support would negate this issue?

Agree its a lot, although sounds similar to an EPL ticket (bigger game). What was the price for last ashes match there?
