Of course, there are circumstances; friday night game, appalling transport options etc. However, tickets are £100!

The thousands of spare tickets are to the back of the upper tiers and every ticket seems to be £100 or £105. So a family of four may cost £420.

A similar amount of tickets remain for Wales v Italy next saturday, though at least you can get an adult ticket for £65 and a kids for £32.50

In my opinion, the WRU should be slammed for this. With everything going on, these are shameful prices and they deserve the embarrassment of great swathes of empty seats.
We usually go as a family to at least one game that's doesn't clash with the city but we normally get them through our local sports club which we are members of as they are cheaper but didn't get any in the ballot this year but not willing to pay this it would cost over £400 plus transport and food etc - cost of a week away abroad if you shop around!!

As others have said hopefully a wake up call for the WRU to reconsider as they well lose a generation of fans of they piss the parents off of the younger generation coming through

Club rugby at amateur level continues struggle certainly my way with lots of youth sides struggling clubs not being able field 2nd eleven in the league and relying on friendlies and some clubs going out of existence as well
