So Dave....you wont be watching the Boks at the WC

No SA supporter wants to waste money on the Meyer circus 

Becs has it spot on, I wont be wasting my money watching the Meyer circus......which is really sad given its in my backyard!!

Screaming at his ignorance on the telly will be enough  

Thank you, it's good to know you can still speak for yourself. You are ok watching on TV because that has no incremental cost.  A not unexpected answer, but it raises some difficulties.

After all a frugal fella like you with your legendary acumen,would no doubt have been able to obtain the cheapest seats....with an eye to worming your not insubstantial corpus into a better seat at the first opportunity. A snap with your lawyerly gift of the gab.  A decent plan which would have cost you exactly....

"Tickets prices start at £7 for children and £15 for adults."....from the ticketing source.

And here we have to  introduce the notion of opportunity cost. The cost of watching the match on TV is not zero....it's your hourly rate as a lawyer. Let's call this number "x"....the hourly rate you get.

You are prividing us with a few pieces of unformation:

P > 2x

dP<15

The pleasure "P" you get watching on TV is greater than your opportunity cost....two hours at your lawyerly rate. But dP the incremental pleasure you get from attending the match is less than 15 pounds.

So we know p<15/d where d is the incremental pleasure parameter.

hence 15/d>2x

or x< 15/2d

or x<7.5/d

So assuming you get twice as much pleasure watching a game and d=2.....we can calculate your lawerly rate as < 7.5/2 per hour or 3.75 pounds per hour. Even if you get no incremental pleasure and D=1....that leaves you at a rate of 7.5 pounds per hour......and inconceivably if you prefer TV viewing twice as much as the real thing and d=0.5, your rate would be 15 pounds an hour.

Is there no minimum wage for lawyers in the UK?

What part of me not wanting to waste my money on Meyer's circus did you not get........but lets take money out of the equation and lets say I obtained some courtesy tickets - would I still go watch the Meyer circus live.....the answer is a big fat NO......for I would not want to waste most of a day getting to and from the venue only to watch a half baked Bok side in action. 

Had it been the Bok side I select or close thereto, I'd happily go watch the boys live.....for there is nothing better than the game in the flesh.

Given your supposed extensive wealth and so called love of the game......why are you not jetting in and watching the games old man?

Fans have a number of opportunities to buy tickets.

Yes. You can buy tickets directly from the official ticketing website, or click here for information on how to buy Supporter Tour and Hospitality packages.

Tickets prices start at £7 for children and £15 for adults.

You really need to learn how to Google becs....you will avoid all sorts of embarrassment.  

Dave this is not about me. My d factor is about zero. Why use the smelly British urinals when I can watch the game on my Sony 120 inch projection TV in a comfortable recliner? 

But damn, those hourly rates....eina!

I'm sure you are right Moolaa. I went to the 99 WC and I think even back then things were pretty pricey.

QF1, QF2, SF1, SF2. They range from 80 to 350 depending on category and game. To my mind there is no better way to enjoy rugby than live. Yes the team may not be the one I would select but they are still my team and I will support them.

Mike I was also at 07 and managed to get tickets to both England games. I must say the pain in my wallet is reduced when we win!
