How much a pie and beer costs at every NRL stadium

When a Dragons supporter was recorded allegedly throwing a meat pie at a Bulldogs fan at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium last week, discussion raged on Facebook. For some, the common assault charge was the most egregious part of the affair. For others, it was the loss of a valuable pie.

Sea Eagles fan Abby Foote wrote that the incident was a “waste of a footy pie”, while Rabbitohs supporter Bob Kairk noted that given “the price of a pie at the footy, he must have plenty of money”.

A meat pie at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium costs $6.70, at the upper end of prices charged for pies at NRL grounds this season, according to an analysis by the Herald.

The cheapest meat pie and beer combo a fan can buy this year will be at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium for $14, though this price gets you canned beer and the tomato sauce is sold separately, for $0.60.

The next best option is, unsurprisingly, not in Sydney or Melbourne but at GIO Stadium in Canberra, where Raiders fans can get a beer and pie bundle for $15.

Next, a flight to Auckland may cost hundreds of dollars, but it will get you a better deal on your footy snacks. A Four’N Twenty at Go Media Stadium costs $NZ6.50 ($5.90) and a can of Lion Red is $NZ10.50 ($9.53). It’s cheap, but remember that a box of four classic Four’N Twenty meat pies costs $6.90 at Coles.

The most expensive pie and beer combination is at Queensland Country Bank Stadium, where Cowboys fans are charged $6.65 for a pie and $12 for a Byron Bay Lager.
