Re: Origin Prices, its all about supply and demand, in the early days when The Footy Stadium was built prices were around $25.00 a ticket which most fans found to be too high, it didn't take too long for the fans to realise that the Footy Stadium was a good place to watch a game and from the early 90's on the games were almost sellouts.
Up in Queensland the ground didn't have the capacity of the SFS and thus sold out quickly,for the last 20 years both grounds have been almost at capacity in nearly every game even when the Olympic Stadium was taken on by the Blues, a bigger ground to fill but when they did they were able to adjust the prices to supply and demand.
For the last four seasons a group of us have been part of the Blatchies Blues!, but this year when the tickets were purchased the Blatchies Blues were sold out so we have to slum it with the more wealthier supporters this time around, no dramas here we have to pay a bit extra because the tickets have been sold out, up in Qld all the cheap seats have been sold and now the fans are having a whinge because 'if' they want to go to the game then they just have to pay a little extra, supply and demand, if it doesn't happen then our economy will downfall just like Spain & Greece, do you want that to occur here in Oz, I know that not every Aussie fan can make it to an Origin game but I had to wait my time to be able to do so as I had other committments but once you go and become part of the atmosphere you'll wonder why it took you so long to do so.
