Still not had ours. Fingers crossed they turn up over next few days.

Re: 2nd Test Tickets England v New Zealand : Thu Oct 29, 2015 3:02 am  

ours arrived Saturday as well

Mine arrived yesterday so probably no need to panic just yet if you are still waiting. They seem to still be posting them out.

Anyone know how this is selling?

Mine came on Saturday, by the way.

40,000 sold so far according to England's Twitter feed.

Hull's a few hundred away from selling out and Wigan have sold 20,000, although half of those will probably be going on Ebay now that Ratboy's "injured".

Great news all round. 40,000 is pretty good for the Olympic Stadium. An England win on Sunday might give it an extra bump.

Some of the previous England/GB Internationals in London:

Wembley - 2013 World Cup Semi Final Double Header (Eng v NZ)- 67k
Wembley - 2011 Four Nations Double Header (Eng v Aus) - 42k
Loftus Road - 2005 Tri Nations (GB v NZ) - 16k
Wembley - 1997 Series (GB v Aus) - 41k
Wembley - 1994 Series (GB V Aug) - 57k

The tickets left at Hull are all upper tier pretty much, so with that being behind the cameras it will give the perception of being full

Use discount code BEINSPIRED10 get £10 of any ticket. Only higher price tickets left but just got 2 £37 tickets for £27

That's 40,000 with well over a week to go and the message on Twitter stated they were selling quickly. This has the potential to top 50,000, or even sell out.

Which is why next year we should have the fixtures at bigger stadiums. KC and DW are great stadiums at club level, but for internationals, just screams small time IMO

Next year for the four nations I'd love us to have double header at Newcastle, London, Manchester.

I like that idea, playing all four nations rounds as double headers would surely fill or near fill 45-50,000 capacity grounds and would look great on tv which is one of the keys to raising the popularity of our sport, what people see when they watch it.
