1 - Why is this not included in our membership? I know it is some 20+ years since we last hosted but at least back then it was included with your membership
2 - who is going to pay the prices they are asking? $60 for a round robin curry off match between India and Pakistan - who cares, $40 for some 2nd rate game and then to top it off $150 for a 1/4 final. Geez I hope for SACA's sake Australia make that game.
They are kidding themselves with these prices, absolutely ridiculous. The 50 over game has lost it's interest and if they get any where near capacity at these prices for any of these games then people are idiots.
I for one will be handing my ticket in at the end of this season.
1 - the event is longer run by the host national boards - 1999 was the last world cup run this way. all of the world cups since have been ICC controlled events. The ICC run basically all aspects of the competion
2- They are only the prices for category A seating - you can get $20, $40 or $60 tickets for all of the group games and childrens tickets are only $5. That seems pretty reasonable to me, i do however agree that the quarter final prices seem a bit steep.
