World cup tickets being more expensive the super league shouldn't be a shock or surprise. That should be a given!!


Why?

Half of the teams in the group stages are semi-pro and probably mid-table Championship level at best.

Would you pay £40 to watch St Helens (NZ) vs. Whitehaven (Jamaica)?

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.

I think the tickets should have been made progressive priced, that could have been £10 to £40 for the group games £20 to £50 for the quarters and ending up £25 to £75 for the semi final and Final.

Lowest category tickets have not sold out at any of the opening eight games.

I think that shows that the pricing isn't the only problem.

Basically it's the attitude..."if it ain't part of my season ticket or I can't sit in the seat I sit in every week...I ain't going"

I think most people who are season ticket holders like to sit in their seat, the problem I faced was that I wasnt willing to pay the money they wanted for my seat and they said the £25 ones where all sold, so I decided to give it a miss.

Then on the TV there was loads of space in the £25 areas........

Re: The World Cup : Fri Oct 21, 2022 2:38 pm  
Look North (Hull edition) are running a story today about how poor the sales at the MKM on Saturday are (6k sold so far, in a 25k stadium) sadly anyone watching that piece won't be rushing out to buy tickets.

The organisers have really mucked up on the PR with the high band ticket prices, all people are hearing is £70 a seat and that noise is blocking the fact you can get £25 tickets.

It seems clear Hull isn't ar5ed about international RL, they don't even get above 20k for England games.

I think the England-NZ game was the only one below 20k and that also had some daft tiers to the ticket prices which meant the blocks on the half way line were empty. In 2013 we sold out for England-Fiji.

We barely get 20k for the hull Derby last few years

Whilst our away support is great our home support is average really

Used to get 16/17k against leeds even nearly 20k against Bradford

Yet apart from rovers struggle to get close to 14k for any games
