I remember during RWC 2003 seeing Wales vs Tonga at Bruce Stadium in Canberra and we deadset paid $25 for among the best general admission seats.
In 2011 surely the lesser anticipated pool match games would have relatively cheap seats?!
I can understand high prices for finals at the bigger stadiums but jeez...
Perhaps $1500 is for the best seats in the final...I don't know what the $200 would be for though? Cheapest price for the final?
I've been reading up on other sources and it all seems that "ticket prices will be significantly more than previous rggby world cups". This is crazy! I can understand wanting to make some money after massive spending on redevelopments and whatnot, but the price hikes will no doubt backfire and there will be bugger all people turning up!
Instead of going to a game being a "luxury/want", in order to go it will be classed as a sheer "extravagance" because of the costs involved!
I'm certainly second guessing whether to go or not because I was planning on seeing 4 pool games, a quarter and a semi. I suppose I'll just have to wait and see the prices though.
