dey surely did, didn't dey? obviously the pricing folks did not do their home work. as i see it, an over supply of seats at unreasonable prices resulted in empty stadia. it's dat simple!!!
In reply to jamgirl
don't u think that their pricing was a disincentive?
we torking approx 10k peeps shelling out US$25+ each!
the only economies that might have been able to support that pricing scheme would have been bim and tnt. the latter i am not too sure about cuz, inspite of the fact that trinis'll do anything fuh ah good lime, quite a bit of disposable income would have been spent in the carnival celebrations.

There could be a number of reasons for that including the price!!!
You seem to miss that the pricing was determined with the input from teh LOC who didn't have a problem with the cost of the matches.
To expect that all teh matches were going to be sold out is simply foolhardy!!!
So if the prices were too high then it suggests that the local reps had no idea of the market they were trying to reach!!!

collectively, they/you got it all wrong. The prices were above the reach of the normal tom, dick, betty and harrilal. someone has to take responsibility. guess who that someone is ... IMO?
it is appalling to watch World Cup matches from abroad and see all those empty seats.
i never expected the stadia to be sold out but i certainly did not expect them to be <25% occupied either. this is ah world event, no?
