Children under the age of 15 will be admitted free of charge to Perth Spirit’s home games at Members Equity Stadium when the Australian Rugby Championship kicks off in August.
Rugby fans will also be able to buy general admission entry to four Spirit home games for the price of three.
The new national competition, involving teams from WA, New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and the ACT, will get underway on Friday 10 August when Perth Spirit play the Western Sydney Rams.
General admission for the home games is $20, meaning the family-friendly ticket prices will see two adults and four kids (under 15) paying a total of just $40 per match to attend.
RugbyWA Chief Executive Peter O’Meara said the ticket pricing for the championship offered real value for money, with fans able to buy a three-game general admission pass for $50 and a four-game (season) general admission pass for $60.
“That’s like ‘buy three and get one free!’” O’Meara said.
“It’s great value for money. You can watch Super 14 players and stars of the future, flying the West Aussie flag in a rectangular stadium against some of the nation’s best,” he said.
“It’s cheaper than going to the movies and there’s more action!”
While Perth Spirit’s 28-man squad has yet to be selected by coach John Mulvihill, it will consist of Emirates Western Force players not picked for Wallabies duties plus members of the RugbyWA Firepower Academy and the cream of the local competition.
The championship will be played under the new rules being trialled in the Sydney and Brisbane Premier competitions and aimed at making the game faster.
Perth Spirit will play four games at home, the first against the Rams followed by the Canberra Vikings on Friday 17 August.
They will then travel to New South Wales for two matches before returning to play the Melbourne Rebels on Saturday 8 September and the East Coast Aces (Gold Coast) on Saturday 15 September.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
So they (Spirit/RugbyWA) will only play club players in the 2nd half of the ARC 'season' or is it a matter of if players make the Spirit squad, they will miss out on the last few rounds + finals of the local comp?
Dear Lord, if you give us back Johnny Cash, we'll give you Justin Bieber.
The latter, Coach . Clubs, at least the better ones, will lose 3- 4 of their best players to the ARC two weeks before the finals, and won't get them back for the rest of the finals series. Wonderful. Why do clubs bother -just fold and let the ARU develop its own player base.
I told you so, but you wouldn't listen. Now suffer.
By the way, my grumpy pills are working a treat.
I've got this mate, who has this friend, who knows a bloke who can get his hands on some happy pills for you fulvio![]()

You would fit in well with many who are doubtful over this comp. I am going to wait and see, the names of the club leave a lot to be desired!!Originally Posted by fulvio sammut
