Blunder Down Under Tour Losing Buckets of Bucks

According to John Bursill:

As I was being politely ushered out of Jones's Sydney Lecture by one of the organisers (John Bursill I think) we had a little chat that went something like this:
Him- I'm sorry, but if you don't pay for a ticket, you can't stay. You can buy the lecture on DVD when it comes out...

Me- I'm not going to pay $60 to listen to this rubbish. These guys are making enough money already, without me adding to it.

Him-Yeah right. A loss of $20,000 so far on this tour...

Well, we did cover before how poorly the ticket sales were going for the two days in Sydney before. However, Box Boy did a little better in New Zealand according to nutcase Clare Swinney:

The Hard Evidence Tour Down Under hit a high note on Saturday afternoon at the Te Papa Museum in Wellington, when over 650 turned up to hear Richard Gage, the spokesperson for Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, (AE911Truth), talk about what really happened to World Trade Centre (WTC) 1, 2, and 7 on 9/11. It was the largest crowd the architect and founder of AE911Truth has ever spoken to since he began spreading the truth – what he calls the Blueprint For Truth, about the evidence of 9/11, and revealing the buildings were brought down by controlled demolition, not by jet fuel and fires.

According to Clare (who memorably spent a few weeks in a mental institution for her 9-11 Truth zanineess), ticket sales were helped by a sympathetic piece in a local arts and entertainment magazine. However, get this amazing bit at the end of the post:

Richard Gage will be speaking in Auckland on the 30th of November, at the Trades Hall, 147 Great North Rd, Grey Lynn, from 6pm. To book for the event, please e-mail: Will Ryan at nz911truth@hotmail.com. A gold coin donation would be appreciated, to give to Richard.

They're paying him in gold coins now?
