00:00Very expensive. I saved up for a house and I blew my whole house deposit, taking me and my dad
00:07out of it.
00:08I dare I ask how much. Cover your ears.
00:13Cover your ears. How long is a piece of string? A good 40,000 English.
00:19Is that for the whole trip? Yeah.
00:21We've got everything face value, but that's not to say it was cheap, so mega expensive still.
00:26For the group games we were Cat 3, I think around 3, 350 USD. We're in the Gods.
00:35But we've got Cat 1 tickets now for the next few games and they were 600 USD face value.
00:41Ticket for the final, which is a joke, was through the England Supporters Club.
00:47Face value for Cat 2, that was 8,000 Australian dollars, so about 4,000 English pounds.
00:53It's because we got them through the ballot.
00:57Yeah, because we got loads of our mates that entered the ballot at the same time.
01:02And luckily just everyone, at least one person through each ballot got accepted for tickets.
01:06So that's what made us very lucky.
01:09We've met a lot of people that did ballots and didn't get tickets, so we're extremely lucky.
01:12Extremely lucky to be here to be honest.
01:15Well, I've got no kids, I've got no wife, so why not?
01:18Whereas if I did that, he'd be in trouble.
01:20Yeah, he's got a wife and kids, so you know.
01:23This is once in a lifetime opportunity, you know.
01:25And then after all you have.
01:26So, I'm going to do that last night and I am going to do that in a last eight weeks.
01:26I've got an lined up team here.
01:28I'm going to do that.
01:28I'm going to go over to the 5 of my kids, I'm going to leave the table.
01:28So I'm going to do that.
01:28And then, just let's do it.
