Pretty sure in the presser Sheens indicated he was out just for this week, but that was a definite on what he said, just seemed to allude that way.

- Angry South Sydney fans have accused the Roosters of price gouging by charging nearly double the amount for a ticket in the Rabbitohs’ supporters bay for Friday night’s blockbuster at Allianz Stadium.
Souths fans contacted The Daily Telegraph to complain at being charged $90 an adult ticket when the same seats for other games this season at Allianz sit at $50 — a price hike of 80 per cent.
Sydney Roosters chief executive Joe Kelly hit back immediately, saying Friday night’s game “is one of our tier one games” and “tiering of matches is based on opposition and demand.”
Kelly said “many clubs and codes” increase prices dependent on the opponent but a Souths spokesman said the Rabbitohs set a standard ticket price all season for opposition fans and even drop the amount for games scheduled in an unfriendly timeslot, primarily Friday 6pm.
Category one tickets for other Roosters games at Allianz this season are $70 but have been increased to $90 for the Rabbitohs match.
The Roosters will charge $100 for a ticket in the St George Illawarra away supporters’ bay for the traditional Anzac Day game this season.
Rabbitohs fans unable to afford the $90 ticket have been forced to other areas of the stadium. Souths’ main fan club, The Burrow, say they have moved bays to category three seats.
“For the Souths supporters’ bay, it was $90 for an adult ticket,” said Josh Kemp, a committee member of The Burrow. “I have spoken to a lot of Souths fans and we are angry and annoyed.
“It’s a price hike because we are Souths fans. A lot of us are upset by it.
“In the end, we had to find a different area because it was just too expensive. It’s definitely because this is a bigger game and they know Souths fans will travel to the match — it’s quite ridiculous.
“We understand if it’s a final, you can cop it. But regular season games, it’s too much given the increasing prices of everything. It makes it hard for people to attend.
“I have just organised tickets for us to go to (away) games against Brisbane (round nine) and the Dolphins (round seven). We have about 60 of us going to the Dolphins match. For a bay there and the Broncos game, tickets were only $20, and they are great seats.”
Souths fan and Mascot Juniors secretary Kim White is also upset with the price hike along with husband Lee, son Lachlan, aged 9, and daughter Chloe, 7.
“It’s really disappointing because it impacts our ability to take the kids to these games,” White said. “It should be an annual and set ticket price, irrespective of who they are playing and demand.”
Despite the ticket increase for the Roosters game, and given the anticipation around the Friday night game, the Souths’ supporters’ bay has sold out.
“The Rabbitohs match is one of our tier one games. Tiering of matches — based on opposition and demand — is a standard practice across many clubs and codes. Our pricing is actually less than round 25 (against Souths) last year,” Kelly said.
“Our category one seats for a tier one match are $90 regardless of who is buying and Rabbitohs members are offered a 10 per cent discount to this price. We nominated a quality tier one bay — bay 30 — for Rabbitohs members and supporters which is sold out.
“We were approached by the Rabbitohs to say that some members found the category one option expensive and they wanted a more affordable alternative, at which point we extended the 10 per cent Rabbitohs member discount to category four seating — our most affordable seating option — of which there are still plenty of seats available.
“Further, we were contacted by the Rabbitohs for a designated seating area for The Burrow so they could be seated together. We were happy to facilitate this with the Rabbitohs and we are liaising with their membership manager to make this happen in a category four seating area, and with the ten per cent discount.
“The last two matches between the Roosters and Rabbitohs at Allianz Stadium were sellouts, and sales for this game have been incredibly strong to date.”
One Sydney-based CEO said clubs do consider price gouging for big games.
“We don’t do it but it’s like a motel room. On Monday it’s worth $100 but by Friday it could cost $400,” he said.
Cronulla offered opposition supporters $36 tickets for a round one match this year, although the Sharks home ground cannot offer the same elite facilities as Allianz Stadium.
Kemp added: “There is already enough spice between the two teams anyway — we both hate each although it’s probably more the fans these days than the two teams themselves.
“The animosity between the Souths and Roosters fans will never go away, which is great for the game. You need those rivalries.”

Article on price gouging Rorters charging Rabbitohs fans double compared to other clubs for supporter bay. My blood is boiling and it’s only Tuesday!
Article is all over the place. At first the clickbait says $90 for a ticket that is $50 at other games, then two sentences later it says its $90 when the same ticket is $70 for other games.
Tiered pricing is nothing new. Been like that at Broncos games for years. Its more expensive to go to broncos vs cowboys on a friday night than it is to go to broncos vs *bad_club* on a sunday night.
Every major sport does the same thing for tiered ticketing depending on time/day and opponent.
Play on

Sorry mate but variable ticket prices based on opposition and demand is normal in sports. Not worth getting upset over.

You'd expect it to be higher pricing for a derby game on a Friday night prime time at the new stadium though wouldn't you? I thought that would be a given to be fair.

Saulo? Yeah I started with him after he basically forced his way not only into selection but starting. That to me spoke volumes compared to the form of our other options who have been in and out week to week. Definitely think he sticks around once Papa is back, only thing is I imagine there is less minutes shared around (eventually) as you'd want Papa + Taps doing as many as they can.MF wrote:Big Josh Papa not back from another two weeks.

Pretty normal, and really venues can charge what they want. Don't like it, don't go. Pretty simple.

Rabbitohs fans unable to afford the $90 ticket have been forced to other areas of the stadium. Souths’ main fan club, The Burrow, say they have moved bays to category three seats.
“For the Souths supporters’ bay, it was $90 for an adult ticket,” said Josh Kemp, a committee member of The Burrow. “I have spoken to a lot of Souths fans and we are angry and annoyed.
“It’s a price hike because we are Souths fans. A lot of us are upset by it.
“In the end, we had to find a different area because it was just too expensive. It’s definitely because this is a bigger game and they know Souths fans will travel to the match — it’s quite ridiculous.
“We understand if it’s a final, you can cop it. But regular season games, it’s too much given the increasing prices of everything. It makes it hard for people to attend.
“I have just organised tickets for us to go to (away) games against Brisbane (round nine) and the Dolphins (round seven). We have about 60 of us going to the Dolphins match. For a bay there and the Broncos game, tickets were only $20, and they are great seats.”
Souths fan and Mascot Juniors secretary Kim White is also upset with the price hike along with husband Lee, son Lachlan, aged 9, and daughter Chloe, 7.
“It’s really disappointing because it impacts our ability to take the kids to these games,” White said. “It should be an annual and set ticket price, irrespective of who they are playing and demand.”
Despite the ticket increase for the Roosters game, and given the anticipation around the Friday night game, the Souths’ supporters’ bay has sold out.
“The Rabbitohs match is one of our tier one games. Tiering of matches — based on opposition and demand — is a standard practice across many clubs and codes. Our pricing is actually less than round 25 (against Souths) last year,” Kelly said.
“Our category one seats for a tier one match are $90 regardless of who is buying and Rabbitohs members are offered a 10 per cent discount to this price. We nominated a quality tier one bay — bay 30 — for Rabbitohs members and supporters which is sold out.
“We were approached by the Rabbitohs to say that some members found the category one option expensive and they wanted a more affordable alternative, at which point we extended the 10 per cent Rabbitohs member discount to category four seating — our most affordable seating option — of which there are still plenty of seats available.
“Further, we were contacted by the Rabbitohs for a designated seating area for The Burrow so they could be seated together. We were happy to facilitate this with the Rabbitohs and we are liaising with their membership manager to make this happen in a category four seating area, and with the ten per cent discount.
“The last two matches between the Roosters and Rabbitohs at Allianz Stadium were sellouts, and sales for this game have been incredibly strong to date.”
One Sydney-based CEO said clubs do consider price gouging for big games.
“We don’t do it but it’s like a motel room. On Monday it’s worth $100 but by Friday it could cost $400,” he said.
Cronulla offered opposition supporters $36 tickets for a round one match this year, although the Sharks home ground cannot offer the same elite facilities as Allianz Stadium.
Kemp added: “There is already enough spice between the two teams anyway — we both hate each although it’s probably more the fans these days than the two teams themselves.
“The animosity between the Souths and Roosters fans will never go away, which is great for the game. You need those rivalries.”

Saulo? Yeah I started with him after he basically forced his way not only into selection but starting. That to me spoke volumes compared to the form of our other options who have been in and out week to week. Definitely think he sticks around once Papa is back, only thing is I imagine there is less minutes shared around (eventually) as you'd want Papa + Taps doing as many as they can.
Edit: Papa always seems to start slow mind you so probably a while from that
You’ve talked me into it Archer
