What's the betting that for £60 you end up square of the wicket and with absolutely no chance of seeing what movement the bowlers are managing?

For £60 I'd hope to be in a hospitality box right behind the bowlers arm with all my drinks included, a three course meal at lunch and a buffet at tea. I suspect that having paid their £60, the punters in question will be expected to by food and drink from within the ground at inflated prices, with many folk spending a further £10-£20 at franchised outlets.

Add in the travel costs and the expense is just plain diabolical... especially given that you get more idea of what's going on when listening to the radio / watching the TV from the comfort of your own home!
