England games should all sell out....they may have to work hard for the Quarter final crowd at the DW with it being France in all probability, but I reckon Wembley will sell out.
If Wales manage to get a game v the Aussies in Wrexham, that'll sell out too.

If I were in England, Italy v Kiwis in the Quarter Final at Headingly would be a must see game and it's looking like Samoa v Fiji in the last QF...That'll sell out and be a WAR!

75,370 aggregate attendance over 5 games so far.

Your figures are wrong.

Really?

*I have seen the attendance at the HJ for the Kiwis and Samoa reported as 14,965 but am happy to use the figure reported on the official RLWC 2013 web site.....

75,370 people have attended 5 games so far. Because I choose to ignore your insane and inane ramblings about counting 45,052 TWICE, it doesn't change the fact that 75,370, going on the widely reported attendances, is the total number of people who have attended games so far.
The laws of mathematics state that to find an average, you add the numbers up and divide by the number of games.....15,074 is therefore the average attendance.

You have only listed 4 attendances.

You have only listed 4 attendances. It really would be insane ramblings to list 4 attendances as 5 games.

You are correct, the law of mathematics insist to find an average we add the number of attendances by the number of games.

You have already told us you have divided by 5 games, this necessitates that you have 5 attendances. Perhaps you could provide us with those 5 attendances?

I agree that the Quarter Finals are shaping up for some big crowds as things stand, and they are the one part of the tournament where ticket pre-sales are understandably low.

If England put in good displays against Ireland & Fiji I can see a good crowd at the DW though, its if they just limp through where it may put fans off.

What I initially said before you baited your hook was 75,370 fans had attended the 5 games so far. Regardless of how much you want to believe that there were 90,000 people at Cardiff, there weren't....The same 45,052 watched both games and therefore are only counted once when defining the average attendance for the tournament. Ticket sales are what determine the recorded attendances.....45,052 people bought 1 ticket each.

Insecurity and desperation are rife amongst certain cliques of Rugby League stalwarts........it's quite embarrassing really that you cling to a few extra fans in the hope that the 30,000 empty seats will be forgotten.

I know people have taken you to task over this and they are right.

Given that you state the total attendances is 75,370 totalling 4 games (as you will not allow the Wales game as a further attendance, you must therefore leave that out in that case for averaging purposes). The average is therefore 75,370 / 4 = 18,842.
Simples.

Actually, you work out an average attendance by taking the total number of people who have attended games and you divide it by the total number of games attended to discover the average.
FACT.....75,370 people have attended 4 events, but 5 games and therefore, the individual attendance average is 15,074.

Using your flawed formula for counting Double header attendances twice means that Sally Bolton's RLWC Target of 500,000 was 66% based on 2 events and 4 games

I am so looking forward to seeing 180,000 people packed into a 90,000 seat stadium for the semi-finals

Why is it that some RL fans are so insecure and fretful that they cling to the "double header" like a security blanket?....the 5 games so far have all been entertaining and pretty well attended....

As for your rant Little Ivor. Chillax Brother....and enjoy the games

This has to be one of the most tedious arguments in the history of western civilization.....................

You seem determined to pollute every thread with this nonsense, what a coincidence it conveniently matches your agenda. Your daft model insists on counting unique customers at this one single event but happily then allows the same unique person to be counted multiple times if they attend other pair of game combinations. And all because they got into these two Cardiff events on a single ticket? Statistical straw man nonsense. If the argument rests on how many individual fans attended games, you'd need to de-dupe the other matches too. Clearly that'd be a nonsense.

According to you if I buy a £70 combined ticket for the pair of matches in Cardiff, and then spend £30 on 2 x £15 tickets for the pair of PNG matches in Hull, I've only attended 3 games not 4? Even though the price of each game in Cardiff (£35) is more than double the price of each single game in Hull - so there's no withdrawing to the equally tenuous "you only paid for one match, the other was free" idiocy either...

Average attendance (the clue is in the title...) includes the 2 x 45k gates, aggregate sales might perhaps at a stretch include the 45k once - but even then I'd argue to be consistent you should combine tickets bought in other bulk buy price promotions too (there are several running). Really not that complicated matey.

This is simple

The average attendance will include 2x 45,000s as the attendance if both games was the same. This is universally accepted as calculating a double header. I can cite examples from Football, Baseball, Ice Hockey, Basketball, Rugby Union and other League games where this is done.

The average number of people attending will need gutterfax to speak to every person to find out if they intend to attend more than one game.

Attendance does not equal people attending. It is based on the terms of the sale of ticket not who turn up.

Absolute nonsense.
