| I'm considering coming to Cardiff next week for the opening game - but I didn't buy a ticket in advance as I wasn't sure what I was going to be doing that day.
Anyone know if you can pay on the gate as a 'walk up'?
Cheers.

| You'll probably be able to buy from the ticket office on the day. May be better getting one via the website though. Plenty of time left, just in case the office isn't open.

| Don't see why not.
Don't forget though, if you've only got 1 ticket you can only watch one of the games. You either have to leave or turn your back for the other.

Sad to think if this was the opening game of the union world cup all the tickets would have sold out months ago

We are a long way behind RU's international game, but this World Cup so far has been a big step in the right direction. Don't forget we've only had 1 world cup in 13 years due to the 2000 being a disaster and wanting to avoid the Olympics. We're pretty much starting again from scratch in terms of awareness with the general public.
as for Cardiff, I think its sold well considering its in a non-heatland area, and personally I'd buy in advance rather than wait for on the day, as its looking like the decent seats (i.e down the sides and not bottom row or up in the gods) will sell out.

It's not sad at all. The crowd looks on course to be a record and its a crowd every team sport in this country (bar Football and Rugby Union) would be proud of.
We don't need to keep comparing ourselves against other sports. What we do need to do is try and beat 'our' past achievements. If we do that we're progressing.

It's only sad that you're choosing to negatively compare ourselves with another sport rather than positively compare the tournament with previous tournaments in this country.
It's like saying "Wigan Warriors get record 17,000 average, but it's sad that had it been football, they'd be getting over 20,000 a week at least."

Yes, RL has too many floating "fans" who just don't want to commit to seeing the opening game of the RLWC by purchasing tickets in advance.

| It's not just floating fans for the game in Wales though. It's the Logistics.
I understand the reason Wales was selected for this game. They paid the money and they had to have a game.
But it is one of the more difficult locations to get to. Wembley is easier to get to most of the UK.
Given that, it will still probably beat previous openers. The only point of contention is by how much and whether is will be enough for those who want to watch on the box and count crowds.
For me if the games are good and the atmosphere is good then the size of the crowd is a secondary condition.
I did question going to the game myself , but the distance was the significant factor. I've been to the Millenium before and it's a journey to get there and back in one day.
If people can walk up on the day, then it will help add to the crowd, but I still think the majority of people there will have bought in advance.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| Im really looking forward to this WC and I am delighted with all the good news stories so far, however having the opener at Cardiff is a big boo boo as I said when it was announced. A full Etihad with 48000 fans crammed in is better than just 40000 at Cardiff.
I understand it could still break records but we shouldn't just settle for a good stat to print in the papers.... The opener needed to sell out to create the feel good factor for RL in this country.

| You have to remember though Wales paid for a big game.
If it was not the opener, then we would need it to be the semi or the final???
Which would you pick?
Also did Man city put in a bid or offer any money?
It's not ideal by any means, but when planning this WC, there is no way they could have guessed the take up would be so good, so the money from Wales is a big plus.
I'm still hoping for 50k for the opener, which will be nothing short of great.
