[QUOTE="Hazey, post: 119306"] I have to disagree with this: the tournament organisers being 'sold out' does in no way mean that the only tickets you'll find are on ebay - I was able to find tickets 2 tickets to England v. South Africa just yesterday on Ticket Master (it wasn't cheap, around £250 per seat I believe, but they are available), as Prestwick said. On a different note, I agree that the tickets are too expensive for apparently just anyone to buy - but having read several newspaper articles about this, including the feature in The Times where a 'working class' family spent £1000 to go and see the FA Cup Final at Wembley, and having researched it on the internet, the seemingly massively expensive tickets actually just reflect society's spending habbits. More people spend less in 'high street shops' and on items such as clothes, and are willing to pay more for things like nights out, or sporting events. Another example of this would be the Twenty20 Final, which this year costs a minimum of £200 to attend. The reason given was that the average family, with both adults contributing to the income, find that £500 for two tickets is not actually that expensive for a special event (though obviously you can't do it every day!).
