| Quote yickpie24="yickpie24"Put it in context - People who dont know one end of a rugby ball to the other, how would that conversation go "Hey i know you have never been to a game but give me £30..."'"
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!

| 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£

| Quote yickpie24="yickpie24"I e-mailed the RFL ticketing office a few days ago about the Manchester Magic (Tragic) ticket prices. I wanted to take a few friends with me who have never watched rugby league live but are into different sports. I asked what the cheapest option for them would be as they are not season tciket holders, students, oap's etc so do not qualify for a discount. Here is their reply:
[iThank you for your email. If your friends are full paying Adults (as opposed to Juniors aged 16 and under, Seniors aged 65 and over or Students) then £30 for a day ticket is the cheapest option.
I understand that this may seem like a lot but when you consider that there are 3 or 4 games to watch as well as entertainment inside and outside the stadium it does offer a good value day out.[/i
Now you try convincing somebody that £30 to watch several RL games is a bargain, they have never been to a game, dont know what to expect and are being asked for what i would consider a significant amount of money.
Who is this event aimed at? Existing fans or attracting new support?
Thoughts...'"
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.
