Holy crap, have you guys seen the prices? It's $259 for a moderate seat, and unless you want to sit way back in the outfield it's a minimum $189. Who dafuq would pay that? It's like $50 for a decent ticket to most games in America.

+$2,000 in airfares if you're an Australian that wants to see Major League baseball. There is value there, it's just hard to see with the $250 in the way.

What can you say? We all know the type. They just like baseball. Really like it. Rare but you find these people.

I know some who have paid - it's the rarity of the event

How long before the realise why they've never been to an ABL game and they feel like they just got reamed by a Nigerian scammer? It's like charging Americans $400 to watch a day of an Ashes test.

That said, the SCG trust is inviting criticism by slapping on such ridiculous deadlines.
And the NSW government setting deadlines on everything

It's a sh*t that the ABL is out in frickin Blacktown and not at the showground. I reckon they'd challenge GWS's crowds.
