How many will walk up to buy? 5,000?

Bit disappointed with that, means that only about 5/6,000 have been sold in the last 2 weeks, and you'd imagine that due to Cardiff's location, people aren't just going to decide to go there at last minute.

I did! Only decided I could afford it yesterday!
Roll on Cardiff!

Must be more than that, surely?

But wasn't that the figure a week ago?

Underwhelming. When they first announced the figures for the opener I thought there would be a spurt in the final week and we'd end up with circa 55k.

Probably half or more will only watch England game and won't bother with the Wales game .

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Tue Oct 22, 2013 5:51 pm  

There have never been any official figures and Sadlers isn't either. Anything above 40k is a success but I must admit I'd have hoped for close to 60k.

If figures about sales to locals are to be believed then it isn't them that will keep the crowd down.

I doubt we'll know any figure for sure until the day though.

One glaring omission in the planning of the competition is the failure to offer cheap coach travel from various SL grounds to Cardiff.
