Why are Raider's tickets so expensive?

Perhaps if nobody goes, the team will lose their sponsors, then we won’t have a league team, and then all the scabby mouth-breathing yobby window lickers will move back to Sydney.

(I love stereotypes and exaggerations. You can use them in a million situations!)

Someone’s gotta pay for Carney.

$25 isn’t that bad. $18 is definitely better. But yeah, just bring your food with you I guess.

They would have to pay me to take my family back this year.

Last year when the Raiders played the Melbourne Storm, we attended the game with friends and a total of seven children aged 4 through to 11. We arrived to find that the seats that we had payed for had already been occupied by some scabby bloke and his kids who had payed for seats up the back and preferred our second row, half way line seats. When we asked him to vacate, he threatened to punch my husband in the head. He was wearing a raiders jumper and we were not, so that apparently made him a bigger fan than us therefore justifying his actions in stealing our good seats. To avoid distress to the children, we sat in the row behind. (The Stadium was not even half full).

Said scabby bloke then proceeded to yell obsenities at the Melbourne Storm players and the refereee such as “you ####sucker” “faggot” “get ##cked ref” etc. It really was a lovely learning experience for the kiddies. Not long after that, we realised that most of the people around us were yelling at the players using similarly descriptive terms. My 8 year old asked ‘Why do they keep yelling out “You can’t”‘. Why can’t he?

After my friends husband had to ask the young blokes next to them could they possibly go elsewhere and smoke their joints as they were blowing smoke all over the kids, we decided to leave.

Yeah beats paying $35 for a worse spectacle in Union. I would suggest not buying food/drink at the stadium and in fact have a tasty, healthy and cheaper lunch at home with the kids before you go. Yes, a ridiculous concept I know……..

Still cheaper than the Brumbies. I’d suggest the rugby league product is inferior, but that’s just a matter of taste.

Because the world we live in today is motivated by greed.

I noticed that too when my friend asked me if I was going. I would have thought they would be giving the tickets away by now being wooden spoon contenders. I guess they will have to fudge the attendance figures more than last year now, how they came up with the 12 to 14 thousand for a stadium less than half full for a lot of the games last year I will never know.
