Reds vs Blues

Apia Park has a capacity of about 8,000 but barely half of that turned up to witness the Blues 34-29 victory over the Reds last Friday.

Many fans vented on social media about the not-so-super prices, which started at 40 Tala for general admission and as much as 500 Tala - or $US200 - for a seat in the stands.

According to RNZI correspondent, Autagavaia Tipi Autagavaia to Samoans and those on low incomes that's a lot of money.

"If they drop it down to 20 Tala for the general admission to the game, I gather there will be a lot of people there," he said.

The Blues are expected to announce on Monday that their June 2 fixture will be staged in Apia. The match comes in collaboration with Michael Jones and the Samoan government, and is likely to see some form of fee paid to the teams involved.

Last year the Fijian government stumped up $1.6 million to lure the Chiefs and Crusaders to Suva. Its success will see both teams return to play the same match in Fiji on May 19.
