They've done a great job with the High Street overall mate, Pied Bull is nice, craft beer pub facing it too called The Firkin has a lot of interesting beers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even £25 its £29 including the ridiculous processing fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneH Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I agree that some of the games are overpriced. Not being negative but I wouldn't look over the back fence to watch some of these teams - never mind pay $50.

They clearly put a good package together, and they've staged some decent RL events before, but 3 there and one in Sheffield seems a tough ask. They also haven't been very generous in the fixtures they have given them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 11 minutes ago, Dave T said: Cumbria was originally selected, but when the stadium fell through again their games were sent to Newcastle. They still could have played at any of Barrow, Whitehaven or Workington’s grounds though. Ok they’re a bit ramshackle but it would have guaranteed bigger and noisier attendances than those that will be rattling around at Doncaster or Boro. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricket, Football, Boxing, RL, Theatre etc. £100 to watch England at Lords is different than France vs Greece in Doncaster. Im sure you wouldn't pay £100 for a seat in the eco power stadium.

Derwent Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 When looking at this you have to factor in that we have already had guaranteed income from local councils etc outside of ticket sales. There was a bidding process which involved councils/local authorities paying hosting fees. So from a financial perspective the lower ticket sales has probably been mitigated. 2 I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fact - but I appreciate I am in a different boat to many. And I am well aware of that. Maybe why a few games down south might have helped.

St Reatham Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 So, it would appear that financial gains from higher ticket prices over more full stadiums is the strategy? If so, I think the reputational damage of partly filled stadiums on national TV will have more of a negative impact unfortunately. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrumonside ref Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I’ve just bought 2 x tickets for Tonga vs Papua New Guinea. Bit gutted I couldn’t choose seats exactly because there’s an issue with mobility. They cost £55 each and not surprisingly 84 quid options still available! Anyway looking forward to it now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same - taking a RU fan, who does like league, and he is bring a friend from Liverpool who doesn't follow RL. Should be a great game. Hopefully I don't need to watch most of this one on a screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
