You might wonder what the connection is. Well, the first connection is that there was a separate story about each on TV1 news last night. They were in the same news hour.
In the first story ARC's Chief Executive had to front the announcement that ARC had sustained a $1.74 million dollar loss in hosting the Beckham LA Galaxy Soccer event at Mt Smart Stadium. You can see some of the devastatingly empty seats behind the pic of Beckham shown here. He put on a good show.
The second story on TV1 was about the concert being held tonight at Mt Smart (20th Feb) where Iron Maiden is to perform. It was a nice story about 3 guys sleeping outside the gates for tickets. They came up with a question about Iron Maiden that even the band's manager couldn't answer - and it turns out the trio will get free passes back stage tonight, so they can ask their question in person. Fantastic.
But here's the thing. TV1 also announced a "two for one deal" on Iron Maiden tickets. Now where have I heard that before? What does it usually mean?
And to wrap this one up, just to note that ARC's Chief Executive on TV1, said that the lessons of running the Beckham Event will be learned by the Auckland Regional Council, "...so that this sort of thing never happens again..."
