Women's Soccer World Cup Ticket Sales Flat in Co-Host New Zealand

Hey! I came across a pretty interesting article about the Women’s Soccer World Cup ticket sales being flat in New Zealand. Apparently, New Zealand is co-hosting the World Cup with Australia next year, but ticket sales in NZ have been sluggish while sales in Australia are booming!

Basically, the article explains that it’s quite surprising because soccer is the most played sport among girls in NZ, so it should be a big deal. But the speculation is that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted sales because people are cautious about buying tickets when there’s so much uncertainty around travel restrictions and quarantine rules.

Weirdly enough, it reminded me of a time when I wanted to go see my favorite football team, but the game got cancelled last minute because of bad weather. I was so disappointed, but in retrospect, I’m glad they prioritized everyone’s safety. That’s probably why ticket sales for the Women’s World Cup isn’t doing so great too.

In any case, the organizers are trying to boost sales by promoting the fact that it’s the first-ever co-hosted Women’s World Cup, and that it’s taking place in two countries that are known for their sporting spirit. If they can pull it off, it’s going to be epic!

All in all, it’s pretty evident that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on ticket sales, but it’s also important to remember that safety comes first. Hopefully, the situation improves, and fans can come together to support their teams while staying safe.
