Or alternatively if the prices were a tenner to get in, the conversation would go "ten quid for four games? It must be bobbins if the prices are so cheap!".

Works both ways.

Nope, its 3 decent games of Rugby League in a modern stadium surrounded by mainly friendly RL fans and lots of beer. £30 is brilliant value.

Tell them to go to twickers and watch union,i'm sure they'll know what shape of ball that is

Wow, I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with you. Its superb value. Will you be there?

Just out of interest how many of you will be paying £30 instead of £15 with a season ticket or any other discount?



I will be honest im not but will be asking other people to

If they are that unconfident about it, they're hardly going to watch 3 games are they! You might want to start them off at one!

Sadly not.

Nobody would moan about going to watch a cup final at Wembley for that much! This is 3/4 games for less than the price you would pay to watch the Manchester football teams for one game.

£30 is great price! Try getting into a PL footy match for less.

Will be taking some RL "virgins" with me who were quite willing to pay that. But I've got the vouchers from fellow ST holders who can't go. So £15.

£30 is a great price for three or four games of RL. People seem to complain about pricing at every rl event. People complained tickets were too cheap for England at Wembley when you could buy them for a tenner or through Groupon.

Bang on mate. If I can get any of those two days off i'll be there, i'm baffled why any SL fan would'nt go if it was possible. If they did a Championship Magic Weekend i'd be there.

I dont know how much the actual tickets have cost because I havnt arranged it, but I am paying £110 for a weekend ticket plus a hotel on Saturday night. That to me is brilliant value.

The OP is sadly typical of the blinkered, whingeing type of fan RL does have. They think that £30 is "too much" for a whole-day event like this at the top level of our sport in a prime venue; but don't say what it [ishould[/i be, or why.

It's really cheap for a full day's high level sport. WTF should it be? a pound? If you have already paid and are a season ticket holder then you can get very cheap tickets but that is part of the advertising offer/package which persuades people to buy the season tickets in the first place.

Some sort of comparison might be the joke that is WWE Raw wrestling. It's aimed at being a sort of family event, with several contests. Each to his own and I am not knocking anyone who likes it, but the point is, the cheapest tickets for that crap start at £40.

Tell your mates to go pay £31.50 instead to go see Matt Cardle at Boston Town FC that day. Or get some sense of proportion. You give me a mental picture of Norris Cole.

Speaking of Norris Cole, how much are tickets to the Corrie musical? Bet they're touching £30 for that enormous bag of %hit£

Yet people pay upwards for £50 to go and watch games of union that they have never seen much of before. I would guess if your mates are unwilling to shell out £30 for 3/4 games of a sport they know nothing about you would be better off taking them to a different rugby league event.

The OP seems to be advocating some sort of sliding scale depending on how much you actually like RL.

Maybe 50 quid each if you're a fan of the game, a tenner if you've never attended a match or 50p if you actively dislike the game.

Judging by the VT, the majority of posters fall into the 50p bracket.

£7.50 for 3 matches is even better!!

It depends on how you finish your sentence. If you say:-

"...and you can watch one game". Then they'll probably pie it off.

If you say

"...and you can watch 3 games back to back inlcuding a couple of fierce local derbies". They unless they're tight they'll appreciate the value unless they're very cheap individuals. If they are, we don't need their sort in Rugby League.

I personally think they should. Championship fans would love the day out.

Would have been great in Cardiff to have them both going at the same time on both pitches. Just need somewhere else for the players to warm up!

Yes, it's nice to be allowed out of the asylum every now and again.

Would anyone on here pay £30 to go and watch a day of handball or ice hockey because there friends are going? Then you add in beer money, food etc and it becomes an expensive day! Not saying that it isnt cheap for RL fans, becuase it is. But i cant see many new fans being attracted to the weekend, but that isnt the purpose of it afterall, its just a round of derbys organised to fill the Sky Channel for a weekend.

To the above post Handball/Ice Hockey arnt the 2nd most watched sport on SKY where SL is so its worth the £30.

I would. Even if you dont like the sport you can still enjoy the atmosphere and make a good day of it. I arent particularly interested in cricket or darts but I have been to watch both live and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Anyone who likes sport of any kind will find enjoyment in the magic weekend.

The point is, why can existing fans (season ticket holders) get in for £15 but NEW fans have to pay double that? It does seem a little unfair, and surely the whole point of an event like this is to attract new fans. If they notice that other people get in for half the price, they aren't likely to go are they?

It's only £20 for a house show, so if you're a skint family, go to them!

3 hours of wrestling. Can't beat that
