Club Wembley will be on general sale as its not in the guaranteed games

Didn't know that.

Some good seats in that middle section then.

I struggled getting the tickets I wanted for all of the big 3 matches on the bottom tiers. It looks promising that so many extra blocks have been opened up at Cardiff and that the vast majority of the stadium for the final is already open.

What would people deem a success for those 3 games?

the big games seem to be selling well, but the way we haven't sold out even the bottom tiers of the KC and John Smith's for the other England games is a concern.





Judging by the above I would guestimate that there are only 15k's worth of tickets currently on sale at each ground, we've got to at least sell out the bottom tiers (20K+) for it look good on TV.

I think those games will sell a lot more closer to the time. I'm wanting to go to the Ireland game, but in no rush to buy the tickets and think a lot of other fans will think the same.

same for me, with the seats being allocated on sale, i will wait to make sure everyone that wants to come is sorted so we can sit in a block together.

I've only bought tickets to the big three games at the moment and I'd expect a lot of people will be in the same boat.

The focus has to be on Cardiff IMO. If we can get a good crowd there that could set the tournament right up, if England pulled off a win against the Aussies I think we'll have a record breaking competition in terms off attendances.

Concerned that the cheapest price that I can find 2 tickets for the opening game is in the £40 ticket section. Whilst I should be happy that this means all lower priced tickets have sold out I have no faith in the RL ticketing process, as I believe that tickets are sitting at clubs / outlets and aren't showing up on the website. Hence I feel that it's likely that if I buy the £40 tickets now the returns will go back on sale closer to the event. So, for now I'm not buying.

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Tue Jun 11, 2013 12:13 pm  

there is a clear need to sell this competition for the health of the game and the profile it could provide in the media - were it a success.

i suspect that a lot of people are waiting to buy tickets, news flow is vital to encourage more sales

silence breeds scepticism

All of the tickets are being sold from a central website so there's no risk of the scenario you suggested. However, that's not to say that RLWC have necessarily released all tickets in all sections.

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Tue Jun 11, 2013 1:12 pm  

It's great news in a sense that cheaper tickets aren't available but with plenty of cheaper sections greyed out on the seat map they surely most open up some more soon.

I'd rather have 60k there with some gaps in the middle sections then 50k there but with just the visable tv areas full.

Lets be positive and get some more areas opened.
