[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 114608"] Still though, £150 just for a basic seat to see England vs USA? I'm a dedicated fan but I won't pay that much! This is exactly the same argument I have with Premiership fagball fans who whinge about high ticket prices to see their Corporate logo play at the Emirates or at Old Tradford and yet pay regardless. If you all don't pay and don't bother turning up then the Corporations will cut their prices to try and lure you back! If you whinge and yet [i]still[/i] go then you deserve to be ripped off! Also, the RWC is giving a far bigger percentage of seats to corporate concerns rather than actual individual fans. You'll just see a load of corporate execs out for the day viewing this rather strange game with an oval ball for the first time and not having a clue what its about. You know that "lack of atmosphere" and "fickle fans" at Twickenham you Irish, Scots and Welsh keep whinging about, its because allot of the seats are given over to Corporate hospitality, etc just like at this RWC and exactly what I've just described above happens there. So what exactly is the difference? You can't knock England for doing exactly the same thing that you support the iRB for doing! EDIT: I might go to France this September, but only to soak up the atmosphere and watch the game on the big screen in town. Far cheaper and probably a better atmosphere! [/QUOTE]
