24 whole seats not sold. Tragedy. The cup will be a complete failure.

so,how many tickets have been sold? What's that you say? Oh, you're guessing, because the RLWC 2013 organisers refuse to release actual figures, but instead prefer to announce % of available tickets....
Word to the wise buddy....if you don't know how sales are going, don't comment. 3,207 is, I believe, the record for an Irish RL international at home....Thomond Park holds 26,500....the insanity of this match being played in Limerick will be brushed aside by the biggest ever crowd for a RL international in Ireland
Quote keighley1="keighley1"Hypocrisy is alive and well. The RFL has been ridiculed for boosting attendances for the Rugby World Cup by discounting tickets but when the game they play in heaven gives away free tickets with the same objective in mind, it's a brilliant marketing ploy. No wonder Saracens lose money on these Wembley borefests.'"
Bitter much?
The other lot will discount tickets for their jamboree in 2015.....don't worry about that. The main difference is they manage to get people to attend. Saracens are a perfect example..... club, game, yet they get 61,000+ for a Heineken Cup pool match.....struggling to find the last RL international that got close to that.....might have been the 1995 RLWC final....but you ridicule Saracens.

I only watched the 2 nd half in the pub, but it wasnt the usual ' kickathon ' ,I actually enjoyed it, the ball was passed, glad the Saracens lost it by going for the long penalty

| Quote gutterfax="gutterfax"Can't speak for young Billy, but I have no agenda. I want to see a successful Sport managed in the best way possible. The RFL, who are essentially organising the RLWC 2013 will pat themselves on the back and position themselves as genius marketers, as well as astute business brains when in fact, they are nothing of the sort.
The Celebration of an England game selling out is astounding.....this is a World Cup for gods sake.
By the way, I still say if they'd gone past the 2008 ticket sales total they'd have told us......cryptic press releases about "seat" sales are all well and good, but the fact that they are "confident" that this will be the best attended ever (300,056) means that there are still 40% of their TARGET sales missing.
The glass is often half full with RL supporters.......which explains why Nigel and his cronies will still be in charge of the sport this time next year
I am already booking games to record as far in advance as I can and will get up at stupid o'clock to watch some live. I deride the way the game is managed, not the game'"
With friends like you we don't need enemies. This is RL. When have we ever sold out England games in the World Cup. This is new, exciting,unchartered territory but you damn I with faint praise. Curmudgeon.

Heard of Mark Evans?
He was CEO of Harlequins RU when they were caught cheating in an H cup match.....he set up his own promotional company and delivered sarries their 80k+ crowd at Wembley....he's now CEO of the Melbourne Storm and also responsible for marketing the Wembley Double Header Semi-finals (at the request of the RLIF I will add), which will, in all probability be the biggest attended event during the RLWC in its entirety.
People like you would have had this guy tarred and feathered not so long ago and yet you ask who needs friends like me?
The Fucking RFL, that's who!
Ireland v Australia would have near as damn it filled Loftus road and done as much good for Irish RL as playing in Thomond Park. Disagree if you like, but lay of the labelling.

That was a fact. It is on course to be the largest attendance ever at a RL match in Ireland. That's called putting a positive spin on it. You choose to highlight the quite low numbers of that attendance.That's called putting a negative spin on it.
You choose to highlight the possible shortfall on the target attendance figures. That's putting a negative spin on it. I would point to the record numbers of spectators for any Rugby league World cup in the UK. That's putting a positive spin on it.
Some would like to make a big deal of the heritage players involved. Negative. Some would like to celebrate the fact that we have gone from several World cups with a total of for teams to one involving 14 countries all of whom have a domestic league of some sort. Positive.
Now which camp do you think you are in ?

| Can someone raise it on the Mods Board to start a new thread for the people stupid enough to keep replying to Gutterfax and AP? It's kind of difficult to discuss ticket sales ATM.

| Gutters has a point about the Irish game.. playing it in the cavernous Thomond Park , miles away from Dublin , in an area in which rugby league doesn't even register, is a bit of madness IMO .. it will draw 5k-ish.. good in terms of Irish RL but could have been so much more elsewhere ...

| Quote William Eve="William Eve"Stop right there fella

You don't qualify any time soon to pass judgement on me who attended 7 World Cup fixtures down under in 2008 and will be attending more than double that number in 2013.
It is to be hoped the heavily discounted £5 or £7.50 seats you've purchased for the England V Ireland game in Huddersfield don't have a negative impact on your potential patronage of the game in the future.'"
So you get to pass judgement on others, you know nothing about, based on the fact you've watched a few games down under 5 years ago? Does that make you a super fan then?
Sad doesn't even begin to describe it.
How many non World Cup games have you paid to see this year btw?

A classic " the end justifies the means" post. The Storm eh, terminal cheaters, it's a good fit.
However, everybody deserves a second chance. Good for him.
Mr Evans cannot possibly have had as negative an outlook as you if he has managed to sell out large portions of Wembley .
The original comment stands. With friends like you etc etc.

In response to having judgement passed on me? Absolutely, and with extra toppings thrown on for free.

'"
Never seen myself as a super fan... just better than most
I've attended games down under every season since 2001 and that would include the 2006 Tri Nations and the 2010 Four Nations in Aus and NZ. Throw in attendances at several Anzac Tests, Origin games, NRL Grand Finals, Queensland Cup and even the old Bartercard Cup in NZ, then the more I consider it.... thanks for the nod btw... super fan could well fit the bill
Quote loiner81="loiner81"Sad doesn't even begin to describe it.'"
It doesn't because I quit attending SL games two seasons ago.
Quote loiner81="loiner81"How many non World Cup games have you paid to see this year btw?'"
Between 30 and 40.
