Reply To: Australia – British & Irish Lions / Ashes 2025/6 – Anyone planning to go?

[Not Long Now...]

I’m going for a month to follow the Lions. Agree match ticket prices on the “official retailers” are, well, extortionate. They were offering 2 x (3 nights Holiday Inn plus test ticket), so 6 nights and 2 games, for the “brilliant” price of only £3,000. Given that equivalent accommodation was available on Hotels.com for a total of £400, that’s just a bargain £1300 per match, which seems to allow for a fair profit margin!
Although I have alternate plans for match tickets, I did see test tickets on German ticketmaster at £400 each, so, strangely wouldn’t be bothering with the official package, although it does include a free shirt, and access to “The Lion’s Den” on match day, but even so the word “profiteering” does leap to mind…
Flights booked for me, but obviously being several thousand miles closer, and not in a traditionally rugby heavy country I presume your flights will be easier.
Good luck!
