The corporate thing has always p*ssed me off, even though I've been on a few 'beanos'.
The event is utterly irrelevant to most people who get these freebies, all it is is a free liquid lunch to most of them and the seats go empty while they quaff their champers in the hospitality area.

Yeah the corporate thing is a joke to be honest.
What I dont like is the fact that in a typical 70,000 international stadium, only 50,000 tickets are divided between the teams. The other 20,000 are used for hospitality. I couldnt believe that stat, but my mate who does the programme deals is involved at the top level of Sport and he said it is because of the over-priced sponsorship deals. The sponsors want tickets most of them never use.
