"Port Moresbuy 2015 and its sales partners have an enormous challenge ahead of us, but we will rise to this challenge," he said. 

"Rest assured that we will be committing no less than our absolute utmost efforts to deliver the very best we can for the people of Papua New Guinea and all participants and spectators of the 2015 Pacific Games.

"Ticketing will be a significant portion of the measure of success of the Games in terms of stakeholder satisfaction, public perception and the Games legacy.

"It is very important that we do it well, and are remembered well for it."
