	Description:		A Christchurch councillor's calling for a levy on all tickets to events at the city's new stadium to put the cost on users rather than just rate payers. At the moment the plan is for stadium goers to pay an extra five dollars on top of their ticket price but only if they are seeing an international act. Its estimated ratepayers will be picking up the tab for the stadium for decades to come with 1.75 percent of their rates going to cover costs. Councillor Yani Johanson spoke to Lisa Owen.
