Rip Off Britain

Just been watching some of the test cricket highlights from Sydney (Aus - India) and Wellington (NZ - SL).
Both places had 'buy tickets' links on the screen and so (out of idle curiosity) I had a look.
Good seats were about £15 in NZ and £25 in Sydney - which compares with an eye-watering £50 - £70 for similar seats in England against India last summer.
I can understand (just about) paying that for Lords - perhaps - but the other venues were surely just taking the wotsit.
I've had enough I think - cricket is already bankrolled by Sky - why does it need to milk the people who actually turn up to the grounds to such a ludicrous extent?
