from a very good article - lots of positive noises despite the obvious trouble that they are having. they do need to ramp up the publicity, but they are right about league fans leaving it late to buy. very important juncture in the history of rugby league, i feel www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2 ... -best-side
And yet. A quick scan of the cuttings reveals that rugby union's rival home World Cup in two years' time has had more press coverage than the league version that begins in less than 100 days at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, with Australia v England and Wales v Italy. Two hundred thousand tickets have been sold, but that still leaves organisers 300,000 short of their target with three months to go.
Bolton says she is targeting ticket sales of 500,000, and organisers say they have reached 40% of that figure with three months to go. More than 40,000 tickets have been sold for the final at Old Trafford, which still leaves some way to go to sell out. Wood says that rugby league fans tend to commit late and Bolton is convinced the groundwork the towns and cities, which had to bid competitively to host matches, have been putting in will pay off. She will not say it, but the inference is clear – this will be a friendly, warm contrast to union's big stadiums and corporate offering. |

Stamping your feet and throwing a hissy fit should help then.
Just give them a call, I did. Sorted out tickets to 20 different games in less than quarter of an hour. Great service. |

 Totally agree, actually spoke to a really helpful bloke who talked me through the views of the seats available at Wembley, he got us a spot on the top of the bottom tier, then sorted us out with a corporate deak for the Ireland game.
Agree with you Wheels, service was superb. |

If anyone is trying to buy train tickets from Manchester to Cardiff, I wish you the very best of luck. Advance tickets only went on sale this weekend it seems - buying two tickets together costs £60 each return, but if you select the tickets individually you can get them for £37, £30, £44, £39.60 (with Railcard) and finally £52. All working out £77 cheaper overall than if I'd have bought the tickets together. World's gone mad.

I concur, I work on the railways with all the facilities and info available and couldn't save Matt any money.
