I'm sorry, but do you think the RFL has unlimited budget for this? They have had to spread a small marketing budget and a small group of people across the entire tournament. They might have made a few mistakes - some of which we can see plainly, others we may be unaware of - but they are above reproach for me. That said, these posters should be up in Ealing and Earl's Court not Kensington.

Leave the poste mortems till 1st December, the official announcement says over 65000 tickets sold, so a record could be on the cards - just support your country as a final win at OT will have huge impacts on the sport we all love

The chase announcement has ignited my enthusiasm for the journey on Saturday

Why? Earls Court hasn't been the centre of Aussie culture in London for years.

Yes, as I said yesterday they have one at Old Street roundabout (although background there is green and looks better). Saw it again this morning on the rolling advertising screen.

IIn other words, they are not just in Kensington as someone was bemoaning).

Anyone think there might be a boost in sales with the changes to the squad?

I am not moaning about tickets sales. Well done if they have sold that many tickets. We want as many people to go to this or any game as possible, having sections sold out when they are not, meaning some people leave the site without buying ticjets because they don't want to sit in the gods, well it is an ecom no no. The lesson learned is whoever gave the go ahead for the company running this system, well it was a bad call.

Just noticed they have sold out of all of the hospitality packages, given the size of Wembley and the amount of corporate lounges it has, that is a very good effort!

You of course have the metrics for this...

Or that with only a few days to go the numbers had to be confirmed today?

I'm not sure if it was this or another thread, but seems to be a lot of nit picking going on.

I did mention the colouring system some weeks ago and the fact that it seemed to be a manual update. But for me it's something that has to go down as a lessons learned issue rather than something worth moaning about once the comp had kicked off.

When comparing to other events we have to keep in mind that for example Man U, sell the same stadia for numerus events, so their ticketing agent can use a more live system.

Saints use a live system too, when booking tickets.

However, these are one off games I'd imagine the price tag for a full updating system for each event would have been out of the reach of the organisers budget.

However, given the critique's made I would expect that the next time they have a more accurate system. But next time could be 8 years away so the way tecnology moves on the system would improve naturally.

Checked on Groupon to see if there was a deal on for Wembley. Didn;t find one for us, but found this: www.groupon.co.uk/deals/events/g ... 1/29493241 I thought it was just RL that did cheap tickets? Someone better tell William Eve.

Of course not but it is certainly a factor, oh you're the bloke that says this system is a good one...........ha ha
