the price is a rip off
an absolute disgrace
and if they have a half full stadium they deserve it
nothing said or written can justify such exorbitant ticket prices
sies!

The Sharks are shooting themselves in the foot.

We all know they can’t fill the Tank at the best of times. With the prices they are charging now, only passionate WP supporters will be willing to fork out and the Province team might actually see this as a home game…

The reason the final is R200 more than the semi is that it’s against WP. Hell, I’m surprised they had the gall to charge for the semi.

@Hurricane-9: @poppa69-12: I rest my case. You see gentlemen, it's all Apartheid's fault. During the isolation years South Africans got used to paying exhorbitant fees for "top-class entertainment"; 20 years later these prices have not been adjusted and the gullible South Africans just continue to pay believing "that's what it costs". Organisers/administrators just take the going rate for a similar event overseas, convert it into "Msanzi kuwachas", add on the "compulsory pansela" (bonus) and Bob's your uncle. They always seem to forget that we earn Rands and not Aus NZ or US Dollars. And the gullible idiot, quite happily pay!!!

@Hurricane-11: perhaps they charge Saffas more so as to trump up their total "we bring the most money to the table" truth? having the weaker product I think it is about time they contribute something meaningful to SH rugby.. I think they should pay more to stay to be honest (is this how banter works? )

“Bad weather was blamed for the poor attendance to last week’s semi-final at the Shark Tank.”

Yet when NZ rugby is played in sometimes when the degrees outside is in single digits, we are still supposed to max out the stadium…How does that work?

@hendrikp-1: ITM cup tickets for final is minimum Adults $15.00 with a max of $35.00 and $7.00 per kid NZ $. The CC final is $50.00 NZ. So if you are paying more to see an ITM game than this then you sir have been ripped off

@ShaunMichaels-5: Hehe! R350 is not too bad for a premier event. Now if I were a wise-*ss (and in denial) I'd say the Sharks must cash in now because they won't see a final any time soon again.

Yeah, right.

People should stop complaining. If you bought a season ticket like a true
supporter would then this game would’ve cost peanuts.

I would charge more!

Sounds reasonable.

New Zealand you can expect to pay more then that, and then you’re usually sitting in the pouring rain freezing your behind off.
