| I bought 25 tickets in total for a few matches last night for the grand total of £155!
Crazy value.

this is what really peees me off about the RFL ticketing policy. They launch tickets that the keenest fans buy early on, then a few months later they drop the prices. I bought tickets for the Exiles game last year for £25, then the week before the game I could have got the same tickets for £10 on GroupOn.
They are effectively punishing their most loyal customers for buying early.

I bought tickets for the 2000 World Cup final at full price which were then released for free a few days before the match. This time I've waited for a good offer which has now arrived.

It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. People wait for the better deal, then the RFL are forced to put a deal on because no-one has bought them. I didn't bother with the Exiles game this year, I waited for the deal to come and by the time it did I had made other plans. Had they been cheapest at the start, I would have bought when they first went on sale.
I know they cant really do it for the World Cup tickets, but they need to press the reset button from next year, and reward the loyal fans that buy early with the better deals.

Or just work out what price they want to charge, and only do discounts for bulk buys I'd go £12 a ticket for Exiles/Ireland/Fiji or 5 for £50, £22 a ticket for Aus/NZ/semis/final or 5 for £90

| I've just said the same to the RLWC twitter team. Although the code has helped me buy more tickets I feel cheated that people can now buy tickets for the opener at Cardiff and the Wembley semis for half the price I paid. Where is my loyal reward for buying early? I got it, a free beanie. They did exactly the same thing when we played the Aussies at Wembley a couple of years ago which still annoys me to this day. They have replied that the code '100 days' was for use by partner organisations only yet it was tweeted by ticketmaster as open to all.

Thats amazing and can totally understand peoples anger if they had bought tickets at full price (or any price for that matter).
Its the same with the latest promotion - great that the RFL are trying to fill stadiums but please not at the expense of the supporters who have paid full price and paid early.
There also seems to be quite a bit of contradictory reports about ticket sales and I heard directly from a RFL employee on Sunday that sales are well below expectation hence the 100 days promo.
