NRL Grand Final Ticket Prices..wow : Mon Jul 28, 2014 1:50 am  

Was looking to spending a month over in Oz and thought I might nip down to Melbourne for the final..checking out the website and tickets (that are just being released to public sale) start at $80 (£45) for a Bronze adult ticket of which there are approx 10,000
it then ramps up massively to
Silver $165/£92
Gold $245/136
PLatinum $310/172
Diamond $380/211
Incredibly expensive when compared to Wembley and/or old Trafford, they even charge you another $5.50 just to send you the tickets the cheeky sods..
Not used to sitting in the gods at finals but I think even my wallet is going to baulk at a mid range ticket..thinking a couple of play off games will do me

Sale and demand, it's also comparable to wages.

And the finals in Sydney.

There is a strong chance the grandfinal will have two Sydney sides this year since the current top 5 are all Sydney teams.
If Souths make it against another Sydney side they could sell 300k tickets at that price if they had the seats.

Origin prices are similarly steep compared to regular footy (which is often cheaper than Super League - I guess it has to be with all the games covered by either 9 or Fox). As Sheldon says, while people keep paying it they'll keep on charging it.

The sign of a healthy sport.

Meanwhile, the RFL are throwing out free upgrades and discounts all over the place.

Pointless comparison, the NRL final's about 10 x bigger an event than the SL grand final

They did the same for SOO and for the first time the qland games didn't sell out in the first day. Fans are getting sick of being fleeced by this new billion $ NRL business. NRL will be hoping it isn't melbourne v cowboys in the final!

Cheeky bas*ards! Where's the 5 quid tickets?!!

I bought a $400AUD membership package to guarantee two mid range seats for Origin 2 at Suncorp last year (package included $80 Canterbury merch voucher, XXXX Brewery tour (for one) a sticker and a keyring). To be honest I think the atmosphere suffered as a result; there seemed to be quite a few around us there because it was a big sporting event rather than because they realy wanted to see if Qld could square the series.

They're the prices it should be basically. Imagine if the Premier League did a grand final at Wembley?!
