State Of Origin Ticket Price Hikes Could See Event Fail To Sell Out

3.31.2015

The National Rugby League "is facing State of Origin embarrassment with fears that games in Sydney and Brisbane won’t sell out due to a hike in ticket prices," according to Dean Ritchie of the HERALD SUN. Sydney and Brisbane Origin fans "will be forced to pay astronomical prices to ensure ticket prices for the Melbourne match are kept affordable." Increased ticket sales "may now halt what has in recent years become a formality" -- an 83,000 crowd at ANZ Stadium. Some ticket prices have jumped up to 15% on last year. Ticket prices for the Melbourne Cricket Ground game on June 17 are cheaper, with seats for kids starting at A$20 ($15). A family pass for Sydney -- two adults and two kids -- ranges from A$203.90-A$489.36 ($156-$374). A single adult entry into ANZ Stadium ranges from A$71.36-A$280.36 ($55-$214) (HERALD SUN, 3/31).
