I rang 4 weeks ago when all my other tickets turned up together and was told that the tickets were being printed separately by Ticketmaster and would arrive in the next couple of weeks, which sounded strange but I accepted this as there was still plenty of time to the game.

As they had still not arrived I rang the RFL again on Tuesday and was told that the problem is down to an issue with Ticketmaster and a batch of tickets they printed on 28th August. An investigation has revealed that due to an "IT glitch" some tickets were not printed, but they didn't seem to know which ones.

Purely because I rang, my tickets will be re-ordered and printed this week and (allegedly) will arrive by Monday at the very latest.

They clearly do not know who has been affected so I advise people to ring, however long it takes to get through.

As well as my tickets (assuming they arrive) I will be taking my original email receipt to the game - just in case there is a problem on the day with duplicate tickets etc.

Still looking to get hold of 3 tickets if anyone can no longer make the game?

best of luck with that..........

I bought 10 spares about 10 weeks ago and were snapped up once it was stated there was likely to be a sell out. They were bought by 10 lads who play Rugby union in coventry and have never been to a league game. They couldn't understand why tickets were available at such a cheap price for an International, let alone a world cup game.

Not holding out too much hope.
