I won't be paying £45 for a friendly. Aussies or not.

If I remember correctly, we have to guarantee each Aussie team £150k. South Stand tickets are £22.50, not that far away from SL matches. Some of the North seating in the middle is very pricey at £45, but some of the wing seating is £35. So the club are certainly looking to make money on top of the Aussie agreed payment, but it is mainly from the North seating.

Friendly or not I will be going (South stand) if I am around on the 20th, it will be a great chance to see an Australian club play Wire. Not something that happens very often. I don't have an issue with the pricing. Moran puts a lot of his time and money into the club and deserves the support for paying up front for this match.

I agree with Winslade's not cheap but there are cheaper options available, you get to see a top Aussie side in what should be a competitive game, with the money we are putting up and pride at stake hopefully it should be more than a friendly and at the moment the only time we get to compete with a Aussie team.
Picked my ticket up today.

Winslade is spot on

It should be a great game of rugby, it's on my birthday too so I am really looking forward to it.

We can't sell tickets for cup games with a chance of silverware at the end so my instinct says "dream on " for what is a glorified friendly.

No but you could have got two tickets for the world cup games just for crossing the road without getting hit, they were that freely available.

i'm pretty sure if you go back a bit, some of the GB Oz games were that pricey at some of the bigger venues.

Those moaning about the cost of tickets for this extremely rare occasion are quick to forget the 2 games last year were Lord Moran put on free coach travel, plus the countless other discounts here and there AND the fact that this year's ST ticket prices haven't increased whereas at other clubs they have.

Plus, who's saying you have to spend £45?

£22.50 for the South stand and £35 for other areas.

22.50 I will pay.
For 45 I want a free bar and lunch!

Spot on, I have bought mine and my lads, its my way of giving a bit back! Our seats are virtually the last ones at premium price but sometimes that's just the way it is.

IMO It will definitely raise our profile even further and wouldn't it be great to look back in a few years and say we have been in it from the start!

I think the pricing for this game is a gamble on behalf of the club. I agree that this game is a special game, although not as important as a play off game or challenge cup game and they don't charge that sort of prices for those games. Compared to the prices Saints and Wigan are charging the majority of price are higher for our game. I see Saints are also offering family tickets, I haven't heard the same for Wire. Also I feel the deadline to guarantee our own seats in the East stand these have to be purchased by the tomorrow, could have been longer. So having just forked out for season tickets, a family of 4 in the East will cost another £90, with Christmas coming up and more important outgoings I think the club could have given a longer deadline.

I hope I am wrong but I doubt this game will sell out with the pricing structure, looks like the West stand for me on this occasion.

5 in the north at the Wire/St George game.
4 in the West for the Wigan/Broncos game.
2 in the East for the Saints/Rabbits game.

I'll be supporting Wire, Brisbane and Saints

Wire
Broncos
Souths

My seat in the North Stand is obviously being aimed at a few people who wouldn't normally come to the HJ so I have given it up for them and am returning to my old stomping ground in the South Stand (real old stomping ground is of course Wilderpool but can't go there anymore).

I hope the once a year visitors enjoy the game. I think it will be a cracker and the atmosphere will be electric
