£40 for an adult ticket in the Ninian or Grandstand. £30 in the family stand :yikes:
A few thousand tickets left and the Ninian top tier isn't open either so clearly they don't expect a sell out at those prices.

All three NL games have been the same price. Discount given if you bought them as a pack of 3.Quote:

And neither game has sold out. 26k for Belgium and 23k for the Netherlands. The FAW should be trying to get the stadium sold out weeks in advance, surely the financial gain from selling out at 30 quid a ticket and staying in League A outweighs 3 games priced at 40 quid a ticket and potentially getting relegated.Quote:

There's been a lot written in recent years about the rise of the welsh national football team, and how the atmopshere has improved and ticket prices are fair and attendances good etc. All of it richly deserved, as the FAW is transformed from 10-20 years ago.
They need to be wary though, and this should raise a few alarms that the games aren't selling out prior to the first world cup appearance in 60+ years.
Personally, I can't stand the Nations League. It's weird, confusing and muddies the waters of qualification. Yep, it's of higher importance than a friendly, but for me it's well below a qualification game, and yet the price is the same.
FAW need to keep an eye on it, esp against accusations of greed given how much more the world cup will bring in
How many home games to Wales play in a year?… gate receipts are probably not a huge revenue driver. Is £44 really that excessive? Inflation is crazy currently.
Try buying a Welsh rugby ticket for that money and they don’t even have a great product at the moment.
I’m going to watch the Blue Jays play the Tampa Bay Rays today… it’s one of 81 hone games they have this season. Tickets are £56
tbh, yeah I think £44 for what I personally consider to be a friendly is excessive.Quote:

Nonetheless, the FAW has a great reputation vs the WRU at the moment and would be wise to try and keep it that way
£44 was for Grandstand and Ninian Stand tickets though. The Canton Stand is cheaper.Quote:

For someone on minimum wage, £44 is nearly 5 hours pay and the fact we had 10,000 empty seats against one of the best teams in Europe shows that people do consider the price excessive and fans are being priced out.
Can I just add, that even at £20, that is not the final cost, you then have all the add on’s .
£1 for me, £1 for you, £1 for the next round, £1 for our luxury day out, taking it too £24

They are still doing them. I got one in the Canton for this Nations' League for £81, add ons included. That's £27 per game for Netherlands, Belgium and Poland. That seems pretty good value to me.Quote:
