Women’s World Cup food and drinks menu leaves fans outraged as they fume over ‘joke’ prices
A WOMEN’S WORLD CUP food and drinks menu has outraged fans who’ve blasted the “joke” prices.
The menu at the Sydney Football Stadium has gone viral after being shared on social media.
Twitter user Matt Vandenburg posted the menu and wrote: “Bucket of chicken 44 bucks? Scrandelous…”
The picture shows the prices for food and drink at Tuesday’s clash between Colombia and South Korea.
Included are a bucket of chicken for $44 and $57 for a snack pack – the equivalent of £23 and £29.
Fans may choose purchase a chook pack for $65 (£34), popcorn chicken and chips for $23 (£12) or buffalo wings for $21 (£11).
“Additional” sauce is also on offer with a $2 (£1) charge.
The food contract at the venue is held by Merivale, a company owned by multi-millionaire Australian businessman Justin Hemmes.
Prices are understood to vary across the different venues in Australia and New Zealand.
For example, the nearby Stadium Australia has pork belly tacos and corn chips priced at $27 (£14).

Outraged fans were quick to react to the price list, with one commenting: “Over inflated prices for average food.”
Another added: “You don’t find these prices in any other stadium around the world. Only Australia. It’s a joke.”
The Sydney Football Stadium is set to host England’s second group stage match.
Sarina Wiegman’s side face Denmark on Friday in one of six matches being played at the venue.
A win for the Lionesses could seal their place in the knockout stages of the tournament.
