Good to hear - shows the value of the shortened version of the game.
As long as they realise it's not cricket ....
It must be the only event where ticket sales are any good.
Kenya v Australia final would be good..
will be good to see a full stadium.. been watching it all week and the most ive seen is the mens hockey Aus vs India.. and 3/4's of the crowd left when Aus went 4-1 up
According to their chief spinner, that's because a lot of the tickets have been bought up for sale on the black market.
Guess those black marketeers are pretty insolvent by now.
I think it's the same bloke who said that their efforts in staging the C Games would be a springboard to India getting to host an Olympics.
Looking forward to some good 7's today & tomorrow.

First Aus game will be at around 6:30 pm ESL so around 3:30 for the West Coast.
1/2 time now in the 1st Aus game
Crowd is reasonable from the cameras but when the cameras spin around no- one

Good first up win. Uganda were impressive to say the least, if only they could catch the kick offs, it would of been a much closer game. Anyway, i hope they pick up a win or two these games.
final score?
EDIT: never mind found it meself.. 33 - 0
It is a real shambles over there..the ticket sales have been very low...have they sorted the Delhi Belly outbreak out..?...I haven't been watching..I will watch the replay of the 7's....I was going to watch some cycling and swimming, but the organisation was just chaos..they take ages to get the medal ceremonies over with, they don't know when the next race is going to begin...cheesh!!! lost interest.....
Computer system is down - commentators have no idea what is happening - and they don't even get air conditioning - it's a hard life for some, still would love to be there is nothing else it sounds like an adventure.
Wondering how Nick Cummins likes being in the front row

A pity they lost against England.. it was a good match though.
for all the hype around ticket sales.. thats the strangest sell-out crowd ive seen.. maybe they were all queueing for food & drinks cause the stands were nearly empty for every match i watched.![]()
Maybe goes back to the black market thing again - scalpers scooped up the tickets and then failed to sell them?
watching 7's now
the stands are almost empty!
