Compare season ticket prices between the EFL Championship and Super League. Not only are the football season tickets lower in price, but you get nearly twice as many games. In better facilities!
Of course, individual matchday tickets are often more expensive. Concession brackets are often more forgiving in football though.
Even some of the Premier League season tickets makes Super League look bad value for money. What I pay to stand at Headingley is about the same as the cheapest seat at Manchester City. Again, I get to see about half as many games at Headingley for my money.
I fully understand that RL clubs desperately need the money as a rule, and without the revenue from gate sales facilities are not going to improve.
I'm also happy to pay the ticket prices, both home and away, but I'm also lucky enough to be in a position where I don't need to worry about the price either. I know others that don't have the same luxury, and feel like they are being priced out of watching a sport they have loved for decades. There are examples in this thread. It's a shame to see those people leave the sport whilst simultaneously seeing empty seats at every game.
