Like the news story says, 60% of the customers haven't bought tickets to a RL event before and 70% of the Wembley customers haven't bought a RL ticket before.

The hardcore RL fans are yet to purchase because we think we've got loads of time when there are parts of stadia selling out.

Great news. I think a lot of people are in the same boat with buying tickets. I have got my final tickets as wanted to get good seats for it and spend a bit of money on them and now i am picking up the other tickets slowly as there isn't much of a rush. Bring it on I can't wait

I'm in a similar mindset.

Got a "big event" package as a Christmas gift and those are the games that I was really keen on seeing. That said, I'll almost definitely go to some of the 'local' games as well - most likely England v Ireland at Huddersfield and PNG vs New Zealand at Headingley.

Terrible news for all the doom and gloom mongers.
What are they going to do if the World Cup is a success and not the flop they are all hoping for?

They're going to wish they had made an effort and enjoyed a game or two like the rest of us.

18k to England v Fiji? just that one figure lost me.
Lucky if its 8k I would have thought.

Did I read the post wrong?


I hope its a great success the game needs it and I believe England need to either win this Tournament or at the very least come runners up in a tight Final.
Anything less will be a poor result for this Code.
Only three real contenders and NZ travel to England really badly, it should be a certain England v Oz Final you would think.

England A v Tonga got 6k in 2006 at the KC. I think we would get a lot more for a world cup game./

When it says Catagory 1 nearly sold out are they the cheap tickets?



Edit Sorry ignore that just checked and its the most expensive. Thats good to hear

Why would it be 8k for a World Cup game with England playing? Don't see how that has lost you so easily.

England got 8k at Salford and just under 9k down the road at Craven Park in a tournament that wasn't organised and didn't mean anything v France.


I'll take a £500 charity bet that there are more than 8000 on.

I'd be surprised if every England game didnt sell out. If they dont, its not down to the RFL, its down to the RL community.

Just had a look and pencilled in a few games. Looks as though I can do 6 games (LSV, Hudds, Salford, Rochdale, Warrington and QF at Wigan) for 65 quid.

Planning on going to the final in a big group and making at day of it, like you would at the Grand Final.

Eight of us got the Opening Ceremony-Semi's-Final ticket package just before xmas. Will be going to at least one of the Quarters and a few of the group games as well. It'll just be a case of buying the tickets for those games closer to the time.

I've spoken to a few 'die-hard' fans about the WC tickets and a lot are waiting to see how their year pans out before making a commitment to an event so far in the future. So I expect ticket sales to increase quite a lot closer to the event.

Awesome stuff. Really looking forward to this World Cup

oh dear
