It used to be one of New Zealand’s biggest party weekends, but now the Wellington Sevens are looking a little sad. 

Gone are the days when shots of the vibrant crowd would hold as much action as rugby field. Tickets used to sell out within minutes! Many groups dressed in matching costumes, with some reports of up to 10,000 people per day filing into the Cake-Tin to cheer on their team. 2017 marked the biggest decline, with former New Zealand Coach Sir Gordon Tietjens claiming “There was just no atmosphere and no people there.”

Clearly, the days of the Wellington Sevens are over, so what’s the solution?
