Well said

... and no further than 10 minutes away

Sorry the £44 ticket that includes 1england shirt and 1 exiles shirt has rolled out to individuals on eticketing website

Yorkshire tea and coal aren't cheap these days

Well, I went and bought the shirts and ticket combo, and hence will have a spare ticket for the North stand. Somebody offer me a tenner, and it's yours.

who are you the guy that prices the tickets??????? the pricing structure is dog turd

No, it isn't.

It really isn't. Its cheaper than some standard SL games. This is a game with the best players from our league. They could quite easily charge more. Its great value for money. Throw in the shirt offer too and you're laughing.

This is what happens when you sell cheap season tickets for SL matches. Johnny-come-lately fan can't get his head round paying £20 to watch a Rugby League match.

Bradford and Huddersfield have got a real problem in the sense that they can't ever go back without shedding those cheapo fans because they're never going to pay what a Rugby League game is actually worth. These clubs have cheapened the game.

The cheap season ticket offers just devalue the game in the long run IMHO

once people are used to only paying £100 for a season ticket they will hardly be happy to go back to paying full price.

Look at Pizza Express for example (tenuous but bear with me), hardly anyone goes there without a voucher these days

How much should an international match cost then?

Fair enough price for me to see an International in a top quality stadium. You pay more to stand without a roof in some places.

A buy one get one half price two game deal would have been a good idea.

Not convinced 1 or2 pounds difference is a motivator for going or staying at home.

If you don't think the product matches the price, don't pay it.

I'll be there.

Why is rugby league being compared to various takeaway pizza outlets all of a sudden? Are after some freebies or summat?

An England trial game an 'international'? You are kidding, right

Cheap tickets like that would only work in the long run if you increased the demand to larger than the capacity.

because we have very deep pockets and very short arms

Gotta feel sorry for the Giants fans tonight. £5.30 down the toilet. Coulda stayed at home and enjoyed a 12“ thin crust.

Ah well.

What is England vs Barbarians classed as?

Rugby Union!

"International" Rugby Unions

Well, it wasn't always... The Babas are essentially a touring club, membership by invite only. They were always more than an England selection game, in fact I'm not sure they ever have been!

Their first international fixture was actually as a fund raiser for a touring side (Aussies I think). It was so successful that eventually most touring sides wanted to play them and, hence they BECAME an international fixture. There are also many pale imitations (I think the French have a version). One of the reasons for their success is that they are able to attract THE BEST current players from around the world - not just from a single competition.

IMO the Exiles will not be an international until they've played at least one other nation (i.e. become more than just a selection game). Besides, the RFL seem to be touting it more as an SOO equivalent ("International Origin", "Mate v Mate", etc).

You're right - only watched it for 25 years - lived in Devon before that - WOT A DISGRACE!!!



My real issue with the pricing is the lack of marketing or incentives for fans to travel to both games. Seems I am not the only one going by the attendance at Langtree Park. ATEOTD fans have limited funds - ticket prices are just part of the expense. BIG UP to those who can afford it though - perhaps you are a little rich



Will go to the Galpharm as nearer home - cannot afford the £29 near to my ST seat - but will be there - not enough incentive for both was my point. See you there littlerich!!!

Pricing structure does seem a little steep IMO

Middle of the stands will be empty.
I'm gonna go along with my mrs but even at £21 I doubt I'll be able to pursuade some floating/casual RL fans along - maybe at £15 for the sides or £10 for the ends id have come with another half dozen I bet - who would have come because it's and England game.
