Ridiculous World Cup Prices 2019

[Singh767]

Is the prices of next years World Cup similar to that of the Australia World Cup? Im born and bred in England and every tour of India or Australia since I was a kid have had sky high prices compared to any other touring team. But surely these prices are a step too far?

I love how the India games are getting higher average comparative prices than the England games

 

[harsh.ag]

Comparable to EPL prices, from what I remember (for non-members)

 

[Mr Miyagi]

Read his post. It isn't comparable for all games, only 'big games', India is averaging higher overall easily.

Good to see NZ and SL being ascribed their appropriate values.

The same as Australia apparently

There’s some decent value at a fair few of those games for you, *****. At least eight of your teams are playing games at good prices.

Supply and demand babeh

You want lower prices, increase supply. Build some 80k+ seat stadiums like advanced societies

Meanwhile you can pay like $25 to go to a Lions game.

Lords prices are just pure aids.

Horrible.

One of the main reasons I love cricket is the charming old-fashioned grounds, Chesterfield, Taunton, New Road, Cheltenham - places like that. That is where cricket should be played. Not in big soulless stadia.

They are basically hammering the Indians, England and to a lesser extent the Aussies and keeping it low for everybody else. There are really cheap tickets up for grabs if you avoid those three.

 

[cnerd123]

You need both IMO.

Pakistan in May would have looked wonderful, wouldn't it, in an 80,000 seater? One person per stand.

The problem with Australians is they do not appreciate the historicism and beauty of true cricket grounds, churches in the backdrop, foliage, lovely little Victorian pavilions. They have destroyed all of their grounds by turning them into soulless corporate places which are desecrated outside their season by that weird Aussie Rules rubbish.

Was going to say, the 18 pound tickets for some of those games seem like a great deal. Especially since Afghanistan will probably tear Australia up knowing how much we suck.

Australians don't appreciate anything with culture tbh.

Typical poms always something to complain about.

"Tickets are too expensive because of our small capacity grounds"
"High capacity grounds suck they have no character"

Are you implying that Neighbours, Home and Away and Kylie Minogue's 1980s discography are not culture?

Tickets are too expensive because they've set them that way. I'd be surprised if the Indian games sell out. The England ones probably will eventually.

Nobody likes cricket in England. We like football.

 

[cnerd123]

Oh the Indian games will sell out, don't you worry about that.

But yea if they don't, or the other games don't sell out, they'll have definitely done the WC a disservice by pricing out fans.

I'd be massively surprised if the Indian games don't sell out.
