The price of a ticket to the Force v Brumbies practice match in Darwin last week was $20.
I'm told that RugbyWA are only charging $10 a ticket for the practice match being held in Mandurah tomorrow.
I would have thought that with the cost involved of staging this match it would require at least $20 - $30 per head to break even, given that the Mandurah venue can accommodate only 2-3000 people max, and that the game isn't being subsidised by the State Government to the tune of $300,000 as the NT Government did in Darwin.
It's not as if this was a spectacle being put on purely for the promotion of the game, otherwise why charge at all?
Sometimes it is difficult to appreciate the business acumen of these people ....
