I am not sure what that has to do with the allocation of Union Test matches.

Well Sydney should not get any games against New Zealand or England until it supports matches at the same level as Brisbane...

If the upcoming Bledisloe isn't sold out, or something very close then probably. They certainly didn't deserve the three matches on the calendar when every other city got only 1 or of course none. BTW did the Barbarians get more then the Frogs?

Dunno the crowd...

Would have sold out Subiaco Oval and I can imagine Suncorp as well...

The lowest crowd for a Bledisloe Cup game at ANZ since 2003 (Austadiums) is 79,000 give or take a few.

No. 43,000 for France, 39,000 for the Barbarians.

Ticket prices for Wallabies tests this year.

ANZ--- $89 - $164 All Blacks and Springboks
Suncorp--- $89 - $134 All Blacks
Subiaco----$44 - $114 Springboks

Are they subsidising Subiaco?

That's not right. Because of the tests that are left, ANZ gets the All Blacks and Suncorp and Subiaco get the Springboks. They seemed to have worked out a system in tri nations where you play 2 games at home against 1 team, then 1 game against the others, and the opposite for the away games. So that you play both teams 3 times for the Tri-Nations. Of course the Wallabies and All Blacks then take a game to another country. This year Japan.

Thanks for that. Still not a great crowd for the frogs. Problem is that they always seem to bring out a weaker or second string team to Australia. They are more worried about other things then one off tests against Australia.

Sorry for that... prices are correct but the games are as you say.
