We'll see what figures get quoted at the end of the tournament then.

Is that an individual ticket or a group together? As far as I can tell, they have sold more or less every odd numbered row in the £20 sections up to the very back row. They are now filling in the gaps i.e. even numbered rows and have done so in a few of those sections along with the vast majority of the £25 tickets (only limited numbers in U17 and about 10 rows in U22).

On a seperate note, it looks like the ticketing team have listened to me and released more £30 seats in the Upper East Stand as I had suggested. That said, you wouldn't know as they've not highlighted this on the page (you only notice when selecting an area) as per Wembley Upper Tier and the fast ticket mechanism still doesn't work for the Cat3/5 upper areas. That page is very much a mess!

They will count the double headers once of the total number, and twice for the average.

Remember the hugely successful 1995 World Cup? England v Australia 41K At Wembley, and there really were tickets given away for that because my school got given hundreds. In fact look at the attendances: Other than England v Fiji, Australia v SA & the Wales games they're pretty ordinary. Semis are poor 30k at Old Trafford for an England game and 16k at Huddersfield for Australia v NZ and 66k for the Final with England in. I reckon all of those crowds are pretty much guaranteed to be blown away. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995_Rugby ... _World_Cup

That's a fantastic effort, might even sell out!

I don't understand why people seem to get enjoy belittling the RLWC when it's looking like it could be one of the most well supported we've ever had! We've got a fantastic opportunity to showcase our sport, why do some people not embrace it? I guess some people just like moaning...

i agree

This link suggests that 6,000 are to attend the two Scotland games at Workington: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-24488374 Although Northern Rail's "we want someone else to pay us to run a revenue-generating service" is somewhat baffling.....

Hear hear!!!
I am quite interested in this thread but only the bits that aren't to do with certain posters waving their willies around. So I recommend following the thread but ignoring any post from Gutterfax, William Eve and Smokey. It's brilliant: I get some good info and sensible comment but without the rumblings from people who are clearly suffering from oxygen starvation from being on their high horses for so long.
Just enjoy the prospects of the upcoming World Cup and stop trying to prove to yourselves how clever you are - the rest of us aren't interested.

I just tried a few permutations of 2 and 3 tickets in a couple of blocks and best was showing row 5. The view from those areas still looks pretty decent.

What a night at Central park that was. 46-0 I think it finished.
The ground was packed.
Robinson got a couple, at least one of which was from a Goulding crossfield bomb which, at the time, felt like a cutting edge tactic.

Don't forget some of you are lucky, some of us can't ignore.



It's also nice to hear from those who were around to attend the 1995 fixtures, that actually freebies and discounts where also given back then.

I was only 15 at the time and so was not in a position to be buying tickets. But I thought it would be a bit strange for discounts and freebies to be a new thing. The only difference is that the internet was not there to publish it.

As for looking down on the season ticket generation. Well I'm not ancient by any means but season tickets have always existed as far as I can recall.

It does seem the more we sell the more upset William gets. Maybe we are just misunderstanding William, maybe he is all for this tournement.

To quote con-air...

"He's a font of misplaced rage. ... Now he's so angry moments of levity actually cause him pain; gives him headaches. Happiness, for that gentleman, hurts."

Will you answer the question William?
If we gave people 2 tickets, one for each game, would that make it ok?
Why should RL separate the attendances when no-one else seems to do it?

And actually they weren't half price William.

Don't worry, I don't expect you to actually answer questions. It's much easier to just b!tch and whine isn't it?
