Yeah spoke to someone who was actually involved in organising the tour (works for the tour agency in Singapore) and he said locals and families were pretty much priced out of being able to afford it. Seems a shame to have half empty stadiums.
Wonder if selling at a discount on the day of the game if there are loads of tickets left (eg, half price or 2 for 1 or kids free with a full price adult or whatever) might have got some more locals in. I get trying to make a good profit but if the ticket is say $100, surely selling it for $50 on the day is still better than not selling it at all. That kind of thing sometimes happens in NZ at the last minute when there are still a lot of tickets left. Every empty seat is someone not buying merchandise and food and drink at the stadium too. I've obviously never run an event though so maybe it's still not worth doing that
