I bought my World Cup Final ticket last Monday for somebodies present and I still have not received them even though I paid for first class postage. Are they getting delivered nearer to the event or are they just trying to wind me up?

France don't play USA unless it's a friendly, in which case that stadium is a sensible choice.

I bought mine two weeks ago and they were all with a week later so you should get yours soon.

Cheers SaintsFan.

If 360k is accurate we may not finish a million miles off. We'll shift more before kick off for the big games plus sales during the tournament. The smaller games will have walk ups plus future sales and the big wins could be the quarter finals. Until people know who's playing who and where sales won't crank up. I'd guess the sales at the DW aren't spectacular yet but if England end up in that one I'm pretty sure it'll be a full house.

If 360k if correct though I think things already look pretty successful.

17,707
* 28 games = 495796 total attendance.

Now tell me you are not setting the bar a little high. Even if tickets where given away at half price for every single seat. You would be needing to double the attendance =#FF0000near enough of 1995.

It's pretty safe bet to make that the total attendance will not top half a million. If it did you would still rustle up a twist on it. More games, more people and lets hope more profits and more exposure will be a good result for everyone bar William Eve.

I can live with a little bit of useless negativity from william compared to the massive positivity from the rest of the media.

Got my tickets booked for the opening ceremony. Not booked for Wembley yet but I'm hoping to take 5 or 6 southerners with me. My boss who usually goes to the RU events told me she was going the other day as well, which is encouraging. Hopefully if they have matches at Wembley more frequently, for Four Nations etc. these people will carry on going

We could get a million total attendance and william would still find a new angle on it, or a way to somehow miraculously twist the stats to fit his agenda.

It's completely flawed logic anyway as someone has mentioned. You can't average it out per game and compare 15 games to 28 when the only thing increasing is the number of smaller games (semis & final remaining constant). He's only using that unfair method as it backs up his agenda on here.

Back in 1995, the final & semis represented 20% of games, here it's just 9%. You have to average the group games & compare em, then compare just the semis vs the semis, final vs final etc. That's if you want a fair comparison. You gets me

?

It's already looking better than I had imagined it would. Happy days, leave William to it and hope he one day finally finds a girlfriend.

Lets not forget the RLWC organisers are targeting this figure. So they may yet reach it.

It would be quite something to be able to publish near double the tickets sales of previous and also beat the average. It's possible but certainly a tough target.

I think we should certainly be keeping games at Wembley in future as well as other big stadiums. I think we've downsized for too long and it's hit the international game. It served it's purpose for a couple of years after the last world cup here but it's started to make us look small time and we need to start thinking big again.

I'd love a day billed as a rugby league festival at Wembley with England, Oz, NZ and another team involved in four nations games after watching the Knights play and the academies. Get the junior kangaroos over and the junior Kiwi's and let our youngsters and the welsh or French have a crack at them.
