£40 is pretty reasonable for the most exciting fixture of the world cup so far, it is worrying they decided that they can't sell tickets at that price.

If I had paid more than £25 to attend any of the previous games, I'd be annoyed that they are discounting the better product and I had spent more money on the lesser product. Another reason not to buy more tickets.

Yeah, for Australia v England or NZ I would pay £40, but for almost all the other games in the groups I would begrudge paying more than £25 to be honest.

Hosting 3 matches at some stadias doesn't help as there is only so much money people have in those areas.

I think £40 was far too much to stand up, they should have either reviewed the pricing far earlier in the tournament or stuck to their guns, now they've just fuelled the rl narrative that there's no point buying tickets early for big events as they'll just be cheaper nearer the time...which is what they originally tried to move away from

They're charging 60 for safe standing at old trafford for the final.

I'm tempted to plump for a 30 quid student ticket and take my chances, no one has ID my lad at any of the group games so far, so might be worth giving that a go.

Sadly I don't think sales in Hull at very good for Saturday, seems even at the cheapest prices all blocks are available and Hull City have just promoted the game on social media which I don't think I have ever seen before (their owner also owns the company that runs the stadium)

Playing on Bonfire night is a factor but appreciate we can't avoid every event and BBC will have set the times.

Competing with an England game too is always a tough ask, shame if there's only around 7k there again

When it's £30 to watch Leigh next season, those £25 world cup tickets don't seem too bad value...

England v Australia is a cracking match, despite some of those typically Australian tactics.

Deserves a sellout, but looks mostly empty again :(

Maybe for lots of people who have never watched a game of wheelchair rugby league before (like me) will go out and buy tickets for other games in the tournament
