Farewell Festival : Tue Oct 12, 2010 11:03 am  

Is anyone actually going to any of the events this weekend?

All 3 events seem a bit overpriced for what you actually get out of it, and the continued marketing and promotion of the events from the club seems to suggest that it remains un-soldout.

I think it must be the cost that is putting people off.

I know its the end of an era and Saints are trying their best to cash in, as you would expect.....but in the current climate, its probably a bit too much all in one go, especially when people have just shelled out for GF tickets.

My wife was planning to take my daughter to the day thing, but plans may well have changed.

So many prestige events such as the Dinner are for those who have little interest in rugby league and being loyal to the game, it just wrongly comes down to £££££

Well, I received an email today to say that the Friday night is sold out, the Saturday night has limited tickets available and the Sunday family day is pay on the day. So perhaps the cost isn't putting people off at all!

What exactly does your £25 for a family ticket get you on the Sunday? The club site is a bit wishy washy.

I've probably only seen as much as you, but it's supposed to be funfair rides, face painting, children's acts, bouncy castle, that type of thing along with food provided and drinks sold. I'm hoping to go along with a friend and her children as I'd like to go see the place one last time but I can't afford either of the other two events. So I will go and get my face painted instead!

Yeah, that's what I've read. But is it £25 to get in the ground and the face painting, etc free? £25 to get in the ground but face painting, etc to be paid for?

I've a horrible feeling it'll cost me a bomb lol.
