I really dont care, but i bought a ticket for both games, watched both games, and should therefore be counted twice.

By this logic are you saying none of the 45k attended any other world cup game, because if they did you will have to remember to make a reduction!

I'll be attending 6 games in this World Cup, do I only count once?
The ACTUAL FACTS are:
Australia 28-20 England - Millennium Stadium, Cardiff - 45,052
Wales 16-32 Italy - Millennium Stadium, Cardiff - 45,052
Papua New Guinea 8-9 France - MS3 Craven Park, Hull - 7,481
New Zealand 42-24 Samoa - Haliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington - 13,965
Fiji 32-14 Ireland - Spotland Stadium, Rochdale - 8,872
5 games.
Total attendance = 120,422
Average attendance = 24,084
It's very simple really.

Personally, I would only count the MS attendance once rather than over two games. You can't exactly buy a ticket for just the one game. It's like saying the attendance for the Magic Weekend was 210,000.
When working out the average however, I wouldn't include the Wales game at all (or the England game, whichever way you prefer!). They were both part of the same event. It would be wrong to say 90,000 watched both and wrong to say 22,500 watched each. So just take one game out and class it as a single event.
So I'd go with the average being...
Eng vs Aus / Wal vs Ita - 45,052
PNG vs Fra - 7,481
NZ vs Sam - 14,965
Ire vs Fij - 8,872
Total - 76,370
Average (based on 4 events) - 19,093

There is a big fixation with "attendances" at Rugby League, no one ever says at Athletics, hey look at the crowd, look at all the empty seats, and no one says, the crowd for the 100m is 3500, how can you count the same crowd for the high jump.
Get a grip.'"
Well said, how hard is it really to grasp the concept that 45k bought tickets to watch England v Australia and 45k bought tickets to watch Wales v Australia. It is irrelevant whether they're the same 45k people or not.
It's nothing to do with polishing a turd it's basic common sense. |

I'm 2 out of the 3, does my attendance only count as 2/3 of a person? |

With me being circumcised, does that make me less of a man, therefore not counted towards the attendence, or does it just make me a lot 'cleaner'?

I am so looking forward to seeing 180,000 people packed into a 90,000 seat stadium for the semi-finals ![]()
Why? There's 2 games going on at that stadium. There'll be 90,000 for one game, and 90,000 for another.
In the same way Twickenham managed to hold 62,637 people for London Irish v Saracens and 62,637 people for Wasps v Harlequins. The last time I looked Twickenham didn't have a capacity of 125,000.
And in the same way when there's been a dual code double header at Headingley. There was 12,015 for the Union game and 12,015 for the League game.
2 games. 2 attendances. Simples.

You charge people for 2 games. The Wembley semi tickets cost £40. People aren't paying £40 for one game! I chose to pay £20 for each game so count me twice.

so your World Cup average is only going to include 26 of the 28 games played and will pretend that 2 games simply didnt happen? We are going to pretend that Italy and Wales played one less game than they did and that for what is likley to be the first time in history we have invented a structure in which 4 teams play in 1 semi-final? |

TBF, the RFL should have predicted this thread and cleared everyone out of the Millennium at the end of the England game then let them back in.
