I think the article is wrong. Twitter the other day said 45k had been sold... The organisers previously had stated 90% of lower/mid tier had been sold a few weeks ago (that is 37k) but that doesn't take into account Upper Tier sales. I have been noting upper tier sales via the website over the last few weeks. I'll add that to the thread later as in a bit of a rush now. It's not perfect as no 'guestimate' ever is but I reckon 48-50k have been sold so far...

OOps! Billy gettin worried.

Your season long absence from the 2013 SL attendance thread was duly noted, and particularly so after the big song and dance you made in 2012 over [url=http://viewtopic.php?f=2&t=518732&tsmp=1359932992THIS[/url

It really does upset you when there is some good news for Rugby league doesn’t it. You kept track of a thread for nearly 2 years because someone was positive about RL. 2 years, 2 usernames, untold amount of spreadsheets and hours of your life spent denigrating RL simply because people were positive about Super League.

Can anyone provide any stats to the number of registered users/active posters against the total number of RL fans so I can understand why the views of 1 or 2 individuals is representative of the RL public as a whole ?

So less than 0.1% of the current online users of this forum.

Less than 0.003% of total registered users of this forum.

Less than a microbe of the total RL public.

It does seem to be the case.

Just single tickets left.

You can get single tickets in the sold out sections too by the looks of it. So whilst not nessasarily a sell out. It's as close as it gets without announcing it.

Hope your sources are correct.

35k in ticket sales (which translates as 70k when expressed in Smokeycalc terms) at a stadium as big as the Millennium in Cardiff for the opening ceremony isn't going to look too flash.

What will it matter to you? You don’t watch England.

RLWC Ticket Sales - giving a whole new meaning to the term "sold out".

Not true.

I have purchased tickets for the following so far...

France V PNG
Fiji V Ireland
Scotland V Italy
PNG V Samoa
Tonga V Cook Islands
Scotland V USA
New Zealand V PNG
England V Fiji
Tonga V Italy
Quarter Final at Headingley
Semi Final double (the attendance) header
World Cup Final

Can't make the "double (the attendance) header in Cardiff, despite the availability of £5 adult tickets - yes, £5 tickets - via the Leeds Rhinos club, provided you travel by coach with them.
