I'm from New Zealand, and SKY network has the rigthts to screen all the WWE PPV's they retail here for $19.95 which is pretty cheap conpared with UK, USA and even our friend from Australia. I use to buy all the pay per views last year, but because the product is getting stale, and predicable, I just purchase the "big five" ppvs, and cyber sunday and night of champions. I also have been to both Smackdown and ECW tours here, they have been "house show"s or non televised dark matches. So I'm looking fwd to going to RAW and experiencing that. Especially now the draft has given RAW more talent. Finally get to see Triple H and Randy Orton, will be a big moment for me. Great column Christina, well written.

I really don't know anything about what is happening internationally. Tickets go on sell here a few months before an event. Like I bought tickets for a Smackdown/ECW last weekend that will be happening July 28. I bought tickets in January for The Great American Bash in Philly, PA and then found out that they changed it to Night of Champions for July 26th and that this could effect the seats I actually purchased. Perhaps they handle things better overseas than they do in the states. Here it becomes a bit of crap shoot. Hey thanks for the insight.

This doesn't allow them much time to advertise. As I live in Australia WWE released tickets for their "RAW LIVE" tour starting July 3rd due to begin in Auckland New Zealand. Then to Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth. They put the Tickets on sale in october last year. which is 9 months in advance when last year they were barely 3 months in advance. They also run TV advertisements as well as a banner accross the bottom of the screen in all 6 of the WWE Programing weekly shows. Which is a significant step up in previous year. I do hope to Enjoy RAW LIVE in Brisbane this year, as i managed to get front row ticket for A$350.00. One last thing Pay-Per-Views in Australia retail for A$29.95.
