RLWC tickets : Mon Oct 17, 2022 1:31 pm  

Was going to get a ticket for Tonga/PNG at Saints tomorrow night. But no 'old git' reduction on tickets, students only, is that right? £55 quid seems a hell of a lot of money (Cat B). Am I missing something?

They do seem to be ridiculously overpriced

Re: RLWC tickets : Mon Oct 17, 2022 4:24 pm  

Some bloke on Twitter before reckoned it was just usual RL fans moaning when I said I felt prices were wrong. I went to Newcastle for 2 games, I’m going tomorrow and Wednesday and a few other games but it’s costing a fortune. I’m a die hard fan but many just won’t bother. I don’t know how most families could do more than just the England games, if they can afford them in the first place. I go with friends, rather than family, so only have costs for my tickets to worry about.

If we look at back at the 2013 World Cup, tickets were too cheap and they built a culture of fans waiting for discounts. They were absolutely right this time to say no discounts but you can only do that when you’ve priced the tickets sensibly in the first place. As a basic price structure you would think they could’ve had Cat A, B and C games. Tickets from £15-30 for C, £20-£40 for B and £25-£60 for A. In fairness you could probably have priced England games up differently to those brackets and charged up to £70-£80 and that would still be fair enough and as proven with the game Saturday and by this Saturday looking like a sell out, you’d still sell in big numbers.

Steve Mascord just tweeted that ticket income is already £1m past 2013 and slightly ahead of 2017’s final total with 51 games left. That’s all well and good but I think we’re losing an opportunity to both make good money and build the game by making it more affordable. It doesn’t have to be cheap, it just needs to be sensible.

Yeah I'm umming and ah-ing about going tomorrow. It's only ten miles up the road, but it's live on the telly...

If it was 20 quid I wouldn't hesitate.

That can't be right? £85 to watch International RL, you're having a laugh.
