Since ticket prices have been a hot topic on here recently, I was quite pleased when I went on the RLWC website just now to have a nosey at how much tickets are for the three World Cup games I was half interested in going to. The lowest category - which is what I'll be buying as it's not as it any of the grounds are big enough for that to mean you're stuck up in the gods somewhere - tickets for all three were £10 adults and £5 kids.

I was hoping they'd be cheap but thought they'd be a few quid higher than that. I bought tickets for the final months ago and can't remember how much they were but I do remember being impressed so they can't have been a lot, and now I reckon I'll do Scotland V USA, England V Ireland and the HJ quarter final as well. Well done whoever was responsible for this!

Admittedly the pricing tiers are quite excessive because the HJ QF is £10 in the West Stand but sudden doubles to £20 for the South, and goes up to £30 and £40 for seats, so get your West Stand tickets soon my fellow mingebags...

I think the RFL should be praised for their approach here. Much better PR, and probably better for total revenue, and therefore profit, to have full/nearly full stadiums for most games. Cos they're so cheap I'm going to 10 games. If it had been £20 for NZ-Samoa at HJ I'd still have gone, but wouldn't have bothered with Cooks-Tonga at Leigh or Fiji-Ireland at Rochdale for example. As it is, a tenner for what should be a good game of RL-how can you not?!

Cheers for heads up. Type in code 100days knocks adults down to a fiver!

Nice one. I used that code and got tickets for the games above but went for the quarter final in Wigan instead of Warrington after closer inspection of who is likely to be playing in each one.

Three adult tickets and two kids tickets came in at £30 for the lot which is incredible value. By coincidence the final tickets I ordered months ago arrived in the post today so I'm quite looking forward to the tournament now.

Don't forget the offer for the two games at the HJ of buy tickets for one game and them half price for the other.

The HJ Qtr Final is likely to be one of PNG / France / Samoa versus Fiji / Ireland. So whilst not one of the big three (unless there are some shock results in the group games!), it still promises to be a colourful occasion and might be more likely to be a more competitive match than the Wigan game.

Yeah if I lived in Warrington I'd probably do that double header but from ours it's just as easy to travel to Wigan and Huddersfield, and I'm sure the lad I'm taking would rather watch England (or possibly Australia at Wigan in the unlikely event of England topping the group). Ironically Salford - which is probably the closest ground geographically - is the biggest pain to get to because it's so far off the beaten track as far as public transport is concerned, but I want to go to a Scotland game.

Full credit to the RFL and RLWC organising committee for the ticket prices though because I'll fully admit I wouldn't be going to any game other than the final (which I promised last year I'd take him to) if they were normal Super League prices, but at £30 for five tickets I'm made up.

I've not tried getting there via public transport myself, so don't know, but this gives some tips

Yes there are some very good prices. Hopefully enough people realise and help fill as many grounds as possible. Plenty of RL fans moan about the state of the game - one of the biggest contributions the RL community can make to help the sport grow is to get behind RLWC2013 and help make it the best RL tournament ever.

I'll pass your positive feedback on to the RLWC2013 team.

No worries, cheers. Yeah, I've got that bus to Salford before when we've played there. It just takes ages to get there whether on bus, train or tram, from central or south Manchester. I miss the tram ride to Weaste followed by a five minute walk dodging the natives!

Really excited for the World Cup, it is such a huge opportunity for our sport. The organisers could not have done any more, we just need to get off our backsides and show the rest of the country that this great game is something worth sitting up and paying attention to.

I think they will be full or nearly full in the Salford sense of being nearly full.

Prepare to be wrong then. With many fans expected to be buying tickets nearer the time, most if not all the venues are already fuller than salfords stadium usually gets, on a good day!

I hope so. I've got tickets for the final and taking a big group down from work: when the email went round people seemed to like the idea of having a chance to see a World Cup Final as they are never going to get tickets for a football or rugby one. I'm also trying to organise smaller groups to go to 3 of the others. I do think the ticket prices are good value for money.

I also think the scheduling has been done a lot better this time than the 2000 World Cup - the Wembley double header for the semi is a good idea as the semi final that includes only one of the big three countries usually has a disappointing crowd.

The only thing I would have done differently was played all of France's group games in France and moved the quarter final that's in Warrington to Perpignan to give them a home quarter final.

My scepticism is based on the fact that even if the organisers get it all right, the rugby league public is not interested in the international game. They support their clubs and aren't interested in internationals. They might be interested in the sense of writing on forums to complain about lack of RFL marketing, players from their club being overlooked by England, but not actually turning up to games.

Even in Australia where rugby league is biggest, last time nearly half the fixtures had sub 10,000 crowds and the semi final in Sydney featuring the home team only got 15,000 odd. Compare that to Australia's union world cup semi final in Sydney in 2003 where the crowd was 82,000. Where were the other fans?

It looks like the tournament will be a big success and as a game we need that. If we can get 50,000 on for the opener that will be a good starting point. The semis look like they've already sold about 35-40,000 and the final about 45,000 (rough guesses) so they both look well set for huge crowds.

After those big three games sales at Huddersfield for the England game look superb as do sales for games like Fiji vs Ireland. The games in France are nearly sold out as well.

I can't wait for it all.

My sister and her family live in Ireland, and I'm still hopeful to be able to arrange a weekend over there and see the Aussie '2nd 13' put a cricket score on the Irish in Limerick. I'll be ordering tickets for both games in Warrington early next week and will then look at Wrexham and or Wigan venues closer to the events.

I was quite ambivalent about the whole competition until quite recently, but as the end of the season draws closer the appeal of the World Cup is growing on me daily.
