GREAT news for the thousands of people who paid $350 for a Rugby Sevens ticket: you've made a 757 per cent profit in just six weeks.

A fascinating advertisement placed by an unnamed party in yesterday's Classified Post was offering an ''executive suite'' for the Sevens weekend, with thirty tickets.

Callers who rang 846 5183 were told the seller was estate agent Jones Lang Wootton and that it wanted $150,000.

Box-holders buy their little den from stadium managers Wembley International and can then use it for all stadium events, from Cantopop to sports.

But interestingly, box-holders can't sell their patch directly if they don't want to use it on a particular day, but have to sell it back to Wembley, who take a 15 per cent cut if they resell.
