'Overpriced' Springbok tickets blamed for 'empty' DHL Stadium
Did bad weather or pricey tickets keep Springboks fans away from the DHL Stadium in the game against the Barbarians?
A recent video circulating online captures a rugby match in a large stadium, drawing attention to a significant number of empty seats. The video's creator, Nina Jane, commented on the situation, stating, "all these empty seats and for WHAAATT :) hoping this was a rude awakening for whoever decided on the prices of those tickets?!" The sentiment expressed suggests that high ticket prices may be a barrier for many fans, preventing them from attending games despite rugby's cultural significance. The footage shows players on the field and a crowd present, but with noticeable gaps in the seating areas, prompting a discussion about accessibility to major sporting events.
