Cricket NZ v England
I'm reliably informed that England are touring NZ this winter (NZ Summer), anyone know if this is true and whether tickets are on sale as yet?

Yes and No
There's a mix up over one venue (Eden Park) which should be sorted next week.

Re: Cricket NZ v England
Looking forward to it too
However, is it difficult to get tickets?
And what sort of price are they?
Edit:
Bit of googling and

so, it seems that $36 was the top price against the Aussies at Eden Park.
Not Bad!

Re: Cricket NZ v England
Watching quality sport is cheap out here. $40 or less for 1 adult and 2 kids to see the Crusaders, about $80 (for 3) to see the ABs v SA in a fortnight at the Jade. The only gripe is the lack of atmosphere, not like an English football match or even a rugby match, no chants, songs or ref abuse. So I'm looking forward to the Barmy Army coming to liven things up in March.

Fishing, boating, tramping, skiing and now all this cricket - there's not enough hours in the day in NZ

National Bank Series schedule announced
New Zealand Cricket today announced the schedule for an exciting summer of National Bank Series international cricket.
Bangladesh arrive in New Zealand in December to play in two First-Class matches, three ODIs and two Test matches.
England arrive in late January for a comprehensive tour, which will feature two Twenty20 matches, five ODIs and three Test matches.
"We have a full summer of cricket with 35 days of international cricket scheduled throughout New Zealand, bringing the BLACKCAPS and international cricket to as much of the country as possible," NZC CEO Justin Vaughan said.
"Bangladesh showed at the ICC Cricket World Cup that they are a steadily improving side who can be dangerous if underestimated.
"With matches at key locations during the holiday period we expect the Bangladesh tour to be well supported with One-Day matches in Auckland, Napier and Queenstown.
"New Zealand crowds always enjoy turning out to watch a visiting English side. This is a comprehensive tour by England and we are expecting a large number of English fans to travel to New Zealand for the series.
"England will compete strongly in all three forms of the game and the series will build on our traditional rivalry with them ahead of the BLACKCAPS tour there in May next year."
The schedule will see the return of Test cricket to Dunedin during the Bangladesh tour. The University Oval will also play host to a First-Class match against England.
"Otago Cricket and the Dunedin City Council are working very hard to prepare the University Oval Venue to international standards and we are looking forward to seeing the University Oval host its first Test match."
"Christchurch will have its first international men's Twenty20 match. Twenty20 cricket has been well supported by crowds in Auckland and Wellington and we are expecting this fast and exciting format to draw a big crowd at Jade Stadium

Re: Cricket NZ v England
in the posts I have read from you (I may be clouded somewhat in what I have read mind) there is no mention of work at all, just boating and fishing (and now cricket).
no need to resort to name calling - just interested if there is a pattern there? as some of my workmates, who are mates and Kiwis BTW, were sounding off about northern hemisphere types who spend cash to get a place and have their summers in the relevant hemisphere turning some of the better parts of NZ into holiday camps for these retirees - hence the term "swallow".

nice....I just asked a legit question - are you coming to contribute or just do all the things your post highlighted?

If you wish to discus the merits or demerits of long term and regular vacations or irregular work patterns to or in NZ perhaps you should start a relevant thread?
