Bradford Bulls - RedAmberandBlack.net • vs. Sheffield (Pre Season)

I agree that ripping fans off by blatant overcharging is not good. But please use sensible arguments. Comparing the price of Carling with ASDA supermarket prices is frankly silly. It is in any case usually no cheaper than 60p for 440ml which is 0.774 of a pint so that is nearer 75p a pint anyway. But the argument is bogus, because in a pub club or other bar you are paying for the facility. The premises, heating, lighting, equipment, furniture and staff do not come free and you're paying your share for the use of.
If you want to complain about high prices for pisspoor drinks at sports events then that would be pretty much most places, major finals is where I recall being ripped off more than anywhere else - Wembley, OT, etc) - but it works because there are lengthy queues at every sales point and people don't ultimately care, they can't drink enough of it for some reason.

I agree each venue needs to work out what makes a profit for them without alienating too many fans. that's the issue. But comparing supermarket prices for canned pis.s is not.
