Why do so many people keep paying these huge prices for tickets?

You're dead wrong on one point.  That number is way higher than 85%.\n\nHigh ticket, parking, and concession prices are especially aggravating because they're not even the main source of revenue for team (TV is their biggest source), yet they keep a large portion of the local population out.  Even more outrageous is the fact that most of the teams are playing in taxpayer funded stadiums, yet many lower middle class taxpayers can't afford a ticket.

read the envelope insert that came with the ticket. the prices are a multiplier.

They are not going ID checks. It's virtually impossible to check 50000 people before enter a stadium. They are going to do random checks. However no one should buy tickets apart from the legal way.

I went last yaer and I would agree w/ everything you thought mite be true.  I think people go to those things to get themselves pumped up on some kind of false hope.  People who go to these things are the same people who buy lotto tickets KNOWING they are going to win.

I agree with him they are going from bad to worse...I would rather pack in for the time being and resume when they pull their socks up a bit...the price for a season ticket is huge...they aren't earning it..lets talk with our feet and walk away till they start giving us something to be proud of...

I think you could buy the tickets in the office as well on line. The reason they have it on line is because people could be the first ones to purchase them before they run out.Plus they could get a better seat.

Unfortunately it is all about money. The rugby clubs can make much more money selling these tickets than than they get from the actual fans of the club.

Ebay or some ticket auctions online, they buy off and then sell those tickets for more, if you don't mind the extra cash go for it

Dont we all... thats why so many people buy lotto tickets. \nWork hard and keep wishing is all I can tell you. If there is a secret to success I havn't found it yet.

Because no one is buying tickets.  Quite funny if you ask me.  They used their power of free speech and so did a lot of their former fans.  Gotta love freedom!

It's 900 pounds, but you must commit to purchase season tickets for five years.  Demand is far outstripping supply, so they can get away with that.

Ticketmaster is tricky, I and several people I know have tried to make sense of how their allocating of seats works but there doesn't seem to be any reason behind it. It càn pay off to check seats a few times.

Scalping tickets is illegal only if you sell the tickets for more than the price on the ticket.\nYou can sell the tickets for more than the price legally.\nhttp://www.ebay.com

most people have to pay around 1000 dollars to get airline tickets and a few tickets to some group stage matches.  the best seats in the final match costs like 300 $'s

I'd advise against buying tickets online. They are non-transferrable and coded to the individual. I was lucky enough to get 2 tickets, but I couldn't sell them, even if I wanted to. Which I don't!

This is like Bigfoot... Keep looking and let everyone know if you find it! I read one ticket went for 176,000 dollars!
