[QUOTE="gjohn85, post: 114507"] I watched Scrum V the other night & they mentioned that this years World Cup tickets are going to be too expensive for most people. When Wales played Australia in the Millenium Stadium last november (autumn Internationals), the best seats where going for £45. The exact same ticket to watch Wales play Austrilia (in the same stadium) at this year World Cup will be £164. That £119 more than when Wales played them in November. Its the same with Wales v Japan game at the World Cup. Tickets are going to be £101. When Wales played Fiji (again last years autumn internaltions), tickets for that game where £10. If you look at last year Football (Soccer) World cup, a pool stage ticket (for a top seat) cost only £70. Also, if you got a ticket for last years Wimbledon's Tennis mens final, was only £87. Ok, you could argue that it both set fixtures have different circumstances, but the step up in price will put off alot of working class supporters. BBC has got a more in-depth look at the ticket prices. Go [url="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/6605459.stm"]here[/url] to read this artcle. [/QUOTE]
