$85 Cat A to see the socceroos

Post by pap »

$85 to see the socceroos play NZ is a joke. Given that about 70% of the ground is Category A seats no wonder Cat C is sold out.

My opinion.

Won't be going for that price.

It's Adelaide Oval, no such thing as 'quality seats' for football matches. Giant rip off

Not gonna pay money to watch New Zealand!

Would have been good if Serbia game to Adelaide. A half decent team with decent players.

It's a shame Carlton don't play in Australia more often

I paid about 25 bucks 9-10 years ago to watch Australia v New Zealand at Hindmarsh and it was the worst game I have EVER seen so there is no way I am going to pay considerably more to watch a game at the WORST venue for football I have ever been.

We paid the extra money. The viewing on the side of AO isn't too bad were as behind the goals is horrible.

Its high but how often to the Socceroos come to town?

to be honest alot of people will go just for the sake of it , as the socceroos never ever play here.
Especially since the post making world cup era.

Alot of the general public will spend 85 bucks PLUS to see these new high profile and easily marketable socceroos!!!

Alot of the general public is struggling with the cost of living.

Lets just say husband and wife decide to go;

Tickets; 2 x $85 = $170
Food & Drink ($15 each) = $30

$200 for a few hours entertainment - or stay at home and watch it free?

Why do you think the Category C tickets have sold out so quickly?
