Swap Your Sofa For Seats At The RWC 2007

Swap your sofa for seats at the Rugby World Cup 2007 - Visa auction for CatWalk

You could be off to Paris with a Rugby World Cup 2007 experience money CAN buy: Kiwis have been given one of the last opportunities to secure seats at the Rugby World Cup 2007 Semi Finals through a charity auction on the Trade Me website.

With 70 percent of Kiwis expected to watch the Rugby World Cup 2007 from their home in New Zealand1, this is the opportunity to grab seats in the Stade de France and be one of the lucky few to cheer on your team in person.

The once-in-a-lifetime experience, courtesy of long time Rugby World Cup sponsors Visa, will see you and a friend rubbing shoulders with the Visa Rugby Legends Zinzan Brooke, Phillipe Sella, Joel Stransky, Martin Johnson and John Eales in Paris.

The proceeds of the auction will go to The CatWalk Spinal Cord Injury Trust, a charity dedicated to raising funds to support those with spinal cord injuries and also to help find a cure.

"This is the ultimate rugby experience for any fan who has no tickets. If you thought all was lost and you were destined to cheering on your favourite team from the couch, you can now have a chance at being there in person. Visa is also thrilled to support CatWalk in the process" says Iain Jamieson, Visa International's New Zealand Country Manager.

The package for auction is for two people and includes return flights to Paris, accommodation, transfers and a sightseeing tour around the city.

Any New Zealand resident can bid at the auction to win the package, which is worth many thousands of dollars.

The auction will run from 10am on Monday, 3 September until Wednesday 12 September. Go to www.trademe.co.nz to start your Rugby World Cup 2007 campaign.
