Test match attendances

[chicane]

Yeah i do... (I meant coca cola was the minging fizz just incase there was misunderstanding )

No, no misunderstanding...

 

[roseboy64]

Coca-Cola is just pure acid.At least Pepsi has some balance between the acid and the other ingredients.

On the matter at hand.Test matches in the West Indies,in certain places, are too expensive.I've had to join the club that owns the ground to watch the matches free because i couldn't bear to waste money just to see poor cricket.Also, the West Indies are too inconsistent and in certain islands there are more interesting things so people tend to gravitate towards these.

I feel they should modernize all stadiums. Better seats, more screens,...

Maybe add more rooms with A/C in em and sell the tickets for them for a little higher price?

 

[Deja moo]

with the amount of money the BCCI earns , they could atleast provide proper seats at the grounds.....Iam not crazy about spending 500 rupees to sit under the blazing sun on concrete seats.

Did you know that you got to be at your seat ( in ODIs ) atleast 2 hours before the match and cant leave to take even a **** till the lunch break ?

I meant p.i.s.s there. why is p.i.s.s. censored ?

Is 500 rupees actually a lot of money?

I mean put an example in dollars if possible.

Its around 46 rupees to the dollar now, but I'm too lazy to divide 500 by 46 , so instead I'll divide 500 by 50....10 dollarsUS.

10 dollars may seem less ( I think ). But in terms of purchasing power , its a lot in India.....eg.a pepsi 300ml bottle costs 10 rupees here.....approx 20 cents.
how much does it cost in UK, Aus, Nzl etc ?

 

[Craig]

Depending on where you sit I guess and depending on the ground.

Last time I went to the 'Gabba I paid between $20-30 to get in.

 

[Dasa]

5 day pass for Boxing Day Test last year was about AUD$75 from memory.

That's a fairly reclusive attitude. Sure there are more replays etc at home but i personally enjoy spending a day in the sunshine(happens sometimes) lazing the day away watching a game. The atmosphere is part of the enjoyment.

Atmosphere is the major part i say if you go with a group of friends

 

[V Reddy]

Ahem... Pepsi

No Mountain Dew : Do the Dew

 

[V Reddy]

More chicks in the crowd. One camera devoted to said chicks. Directions of how to get in the vicinity of said chicks on big screen.

Big crowds.

 

[V Reddy]

The atmosphere in Indian grounds is even better.....I enjoy going to the grounds but can't stand waiting in line for 5-6 hours, so I go only if I get complementary passes.

That is the worst part

Australian or US dollars? Rs 25 equates to about 1 Aus dollar and so it means $20 as well if you go by Aus means.

A correction on Pepsi 300ml. It actually costs Rs 7.

An example, my 24 hrs unlimited Cable Internet without any bandwidth restrictions charges Rs.1000 per month. So it is worth a lot in India terms

Many can't afford it and the last govt made proposals to reduce it by half to create a boom in Internet market like what happened with mobile market in India. Don't think the new Indian govt will do that(Ok, i won't deviate from the topic). So it is worth a lot in India terms

Most grounds don't need it?

Selling Tickets at a higher price won't attract people?
