:14:49. > :14:50.pay good amounts of money to go and see the best theatre. Now, `t the
:14:51. > :14:54.see the best theatre. Now, at the moment, it's going up at a

:15:00. > :15:02.reflection of a healthy theatre reflection of a healthy the`tre
:15:03. > :15:09.sector. How has this gone down in theatre land? Well, the view from
:15:10. > :15:14.London's theatre land is OK, the premium prices may be going up,
:15:15. > :15:21.though slowly, on average, London still represents very good value for
:15:22. > :15:25.money. They've compared the top priced tickets, that only a very few
:15:26. > :15:29.people pay. The average price paid by people actually coming to see a
:15:30. > :15:33.show in the West End went up 45% over the last ten years, just about
:15:34. > :15:36.the rate of inflation. Actu`lly that's not true that ticket prices
:15:37. > :15:41.have gone up. The great thing about London theatre compared to other
:15:42. > :15:42.cities around the world, we have tickets at very cheap prices every
:15:43. > :15:46.day. But from some people qteuing tickets at very cheap prices every
:15:47. > :15:48.day. But from some people queuing up to buy tickets today, I havd to say,
:15:49. > :15:52.to buy tickets today, I have to say, there were mixed opinions. H think
:15:53. > :15:56.there were mixed opinions. I think they're too much. This is why we're
:15:57. > :16:02.queuing in the hot sun, waiting for a cheaper ticket than usual. We pay
:16:03. > :16:07.about $50 in Canada for a ddcent about $50 in Canada for a ddcent
:16:08. > :16:11.ticket. It represents pretty good value. In terms of the venuds,
:16:12. > :16:15.that's very good. In terms of the alternatives, something like
:16:16. > :16:19.football, again, it's a comparable price. This all comes down to basic
:16:20. > :16:20.economics, demand and supplx. price. This all comes down to basic
:16:21. > :16:21.economics, demand and supply. Are economics, demand and supplx. Are
:16:22. > :16:24.there enough people out there who want to pay these premium prices? At
:16:25. > :16:30.the moment, it seems there are. Well, as you probably now know,
:16:31. > :16:34.England are out of the World Cup, with Costa Rica's win over Italy,
:16:35. > :16:37.this afternoon. Let's hear about the fallout from Sara, who has the

:16:43. > :16:46.Roy Hodgson, put the emphashs on young players going into thd World
:16:47. > :16:50.Cup, and whilst it hasn't worked out quite as planned, one young man, who
:16:51. > :16:54.grew up in north London, has siezed the chance to shine. Chris Slegg has
:16:55. > :16:58.been back to visit England winger Raheem Streling's old school in
:16:59. > :17:09.Wembley. An all too familiar sight, Dngland

:17:16. > :17:17.Now, if you stare hard, really hard through the disappointment of
:17:18. > :17:21.England's World Cup campaign, there is perhaps the glimpse of a brighter
:17:22. > :17:27.future in some of the young talent emerging. One of England's better
:17:28. > :17:32.performers to date, Raheem Sterling. He grew up in Brent and went to this
:17:33. > :17:36.school, just a stone's throw from Wembley Stadium. I'm not surprised
:17:37. > :17:40.how far he's gone, because he always had an outstanding talent, from a
:17:41. > :17:41.young age. He was used to playing against children a lot older than
