Lions Tour 2025

Nah, they’re about double (if not more) what TSwiz was charging for roughly equivalent seats.

Surprised we haven’t seen any “You won’t believe how much the wallabies are charging for tickets!” articles

Likewise it was very clear that she could have charged a vast amount more. The market value of those tickets was way above the list price. She also played 3 shows at the MCG and 4 shows at Accor Stadium.

Taylor has also toured Australia 4 times since the BILs were last here, and will have comparatively fewer "inbound" tourists to exploit with Singapore hosting 6 capturing all of SEA in the most recent tour (I dislike that I know this in detail)

Not disagreeing with any of this, nor the prices themselves, just adding some context of the rough equivalence.

I have seen a few blow ups on twitter from the standard set of league fans who love to say they used to be Union fans but are really just keen to attack the game where ever they can.

 

[Crashy]

jeez we need to nail the next 5-6 years - perform competitively and rake in the $ with the RWC, Lions tour and Women's RWC.
Surely that will keep a few players in the game - despite pretty much all of them saying / hinting they are off to league. The present off contract games really fuck me off.
How about these fluffybunnys think about the fans for a change......

 

[oztimmay]

to be fair, the offer to MCG members is more than reasonable and they can apply for 10 each I think.
Get the roladex out Kev!

Only 5 per member.

 

[Ignoto]

Does anyone know of any good pre-game functions before the Brisbane test or still way too early for this

Just turn up to Caxton Street a couple hours before kick off. Theyll shut the street down and itll be heaving.

From my experience of friends in UK and Ireland, they are not as acutely aware of the political Rugby problems in Australia - they clearly know Australia sit 10th the global standings, but having the Lions come out and win 3-0 is what they want - albeit with some small resistance.

I am being tapped daily from people in the UK to buy tickets for them.

You can see why NZ and maybe to a lesser extent SA are concerned by the downfall of Aus rugby given we are still relatively central to their future plans as they stand.

But England? If we were ranked 48th they wouldn't satisfied. And vice versa.

This ain't cricket

The poms always love a moral victory over us convicts.

That isn't saying a lot, ANZ is poo. Glad they scrapped it's refurb and pressed ahead with the new one at Moore Park.

A shame they didn’t make the SFS say 55000 - 60000 capacity and sold off the Olympic Stadium to pay for it. Plus a roof. A pupose built Rugby/Football stadium like Brisbane’s is infinitely better for the spectators and players alike. The OS just does not cut it and has no pubs or restaurants nearby for pregame.

Don't know that there is space for that?

I hope RA are making bucketloads out of this.

At $200 for a top of the gods bronze seat at the MCG, they will be raking it in.

 

[Tex]

12 years on and I've still got the best memories of the Brisbane Lions Test. The result sucked but my god it was the most electric live event I've ever witnessed. Worth every penny.

Do we have any idea when Phase 2 of the ticket release will be?

Likewise in Melbourne. Local boy Christian Leali'ifano kicks the winning conversion in the final few minutes and breaks 30,000 red hearts. You just live for those moments in sport.

I’m actually really looking forward to the AUNZ match - something different and a bit special (not that a Lions tour isn’t already)

A Crowded House song as a quasi-anthem perhaps?

I just think the pricing is outrageous, the ticket sales notification and process was a joke, and I'll just watch the game on TV.

I was in South Africa for the previous tour, tickets were reasonably priced and I managed to get 2 for the Ellis Park test, and then COVID blew it all apart...

 

[Mr Pilfer]

The games will all sell out regardless of what price they charge. As others have said this and the 2027 World Cup are rugby Australia’s only chance of keeping the game afloat and making up for years of incompetence so they need to milk it for everything they can

Bit of a silly comparison don't you think?

Hell, using the big mac index, you can get a big mac in South Africa for $4.16 AUD, while in Australia is costs you around $7.90....

We all know why RA can and is charging the prices they are and why SARU was not able to.

 

[Braveheart81]

Out of interest I looked up what I paid for the Sydney test in 2013. My tickets were the second lowest category from memory and were $180 each.

While the tickets are obviously expensive I don't think they are outrageous for a premier event in the sport in a fairly high cost country.

Once in a 12 year match as well, makes sense for the ticketing prices.

Wallabies socials saying tickets for all three Tests exhausted. I really hope they’re just talking about phase 1, and there’s still another phase of tickets yet to be released.
