Ricky Ponting gives his view on the World Cup issues in his column in The Australian.
"We heard after our game against West Indies - surprisingly played before a half-full house - that some ticket prices at the ground were up to $US100. That's too expensive."
After dealing with tickets, he moves on to the length of the tournament.
"When you look at other major sporting events such as the Olympics, which lasts for just over two weeks, the two-month cup seems too long.
"It does seem to have gone on for a long time but logistically it is very difficult to organise because you need reserve days for every game."
