RWC2015 Pricing

[TRF_Olyy]

Anyone seen the pricing?
It's. Flipping. Mental.

If I want to go and see Springboks vs Samoa at Villa Park (which I really, really do) the category B tickets are £115! ($205AUD, $230NZD, 1903 rand etc.)


Fair play the cheap seats at the games like "Americas 2 vs Asia 1" are £60/£45 for Cat A/B, but I really expected the whole thing to be more accessible to normal fans.

To go and see England at Twickenham it's £315/£215, or in Manchester it's £250/£175.



Just googled how much they were at the 2011 and it said the most expensive tickets were £170, almost 50% of the 2015, and in smaller stadiums (for the most part) =/

I was hoping to make the RWC2015 my sign off tour before heading back home but I think with those prices I might just travel around Europe instead.

Hmm, I'm seeing on Facebook that there are cheaper tickets available, but if you go on the pricing on the RWC2015 site it doesn't mention them :huh:
£50 is cheapest the go at Villa Park, which is far more acceptable, so I retract some of above rant (still think that non-nosebleed seats are very expensive).



Aaaah, now they've updates the prices on their site. Before it went Cat A, Cat B, Child, Child. Now it's A/B/C (Child)/D (Child).

£20 for nosebleeds to see Australia vs "playoff winner" and £50 for Boks vs Samoa, both in Birmingham, is decent enough.

£50 to watch Argentina v Tonga in Leciester. I might do that. South Africa v Samoa in Birmingham, £75. Hmm. £100 for Wales vs England? Can't say no. I'm glad they've announced it this far in advance, as there's no way I'm missing the tournament, and now I have time to take out a mortgage in order to go to a handful of games.

TRF meetup for Springboks vs Samoa.

Final tickets start at £150 Quid... I need to get my accreditation in place, so I can go for free...

Could anyone link me to where the price listings are? Hoping to get over for a group game or two.

Silly money.

Jesus they're expensive. Still hope to go to the Irish London games. Cannae wait. Probably stay outside of London. Gonna be class (in two years).

 

[big ginger 8]

I've seen stuff about how 41 of the 48 games will have tickets starting at £15 any ideas how one wold go about finding the likes of them instead of the £125 ones?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

If you go on the link I posted above, the cheap games are the ones held in the smaller stadiums, and the lower categories.

Fooooooor example:
Samoa v Asia 1 at Stadium MK is £20 for Cat D.
Samoa vs America 2 in Brighton is £15 for Cat D.
Africa 1 v Europe 1 at Sandy park is £15 for Cat D, etc.etc.


I'm presuming the "starting from £15" includes kids tickets, as they start at £7 for some games.

So for Ireland's two deciding group games, I can get there for 100 pounds, if I can sneak finals tickets it'll cost an extra 115 quid. Plus travel and accommodation for the game in Cardiff, I'll need to get a job during my first year in university or have about six birthdays between now and the World cup to get there!

Yeah I used the link but the way it was showing it to me Cat D and C were only for children. Maybe I was reading it wrong.

That's pretty interesting, how Englanders and Britons in general met this price-list

Same issue for Southerns, for example 230 NZD is too pricey or not that much

I already said, compared to our prices that is 200 times more

That's how I was reading it before as well - think they might have changed the formatting, or something, now.

 

[Bluemoon]

Hmmm I think they may have got this pricing a little bit wrong for some of the group games. The main issue seems to be how they have failed to define Cat C and D in the different stadiums.

I expected high prices for the knock outs but some of those games are eye watering expensive.

 

[Nielsch]

Probably gonna go to Brighton to watch Saffies - Japs and Samoa - USA.

Also might go to Newcastle for All Blacks - Tonga and Scotland - Samoa. That last match will probably be a KO-place decider.

The big problem is not the the high prices £750 for a final ticket although it is one , for me its the fact that companies will buy thousands of tickets to give to clients and then the atmosphere will be worse than usual as these guys know little or nothing about rugby. It is always the same the guys who support rugby week in week out with their clubs will be the ones who miss out because of corporate greed.
