I've been trying to book tickets on the RLWC website but can't view the seating plans for some matches on this computer - despite amending browser settings. Can anyone see the plans? Thanks.

This is where we could learn from the other sport

Clubs are given tickets for internationals to sell to their fans/members and they keep a cut for every ticket sold - a good incentive to sell them. They fill up coaches, make money from it, boost attendances, everyone wins.

I would be more brutal.
I would hold money back from the sky deal in return for tickets to be sold by the clubs, eg £30-50k per club dependent on average crowd, whereby the club retains the revenue from the sale

I've tried IE8 and Chrome. Not sure my Firefox is working on this one - will check.

The 40k is buzzcox, just tried getting 4 more and ended up u22 row 26

Remains to be seen, but all the anecdotal assessment of ticketing sites and second guessing can stop in a few days time.
Time to check out the Emperors new clothes

According to Firefox, the RLWC has sold out in it's entirety.
IE8 is reporting a lot of grey areas.
Chrome says it's all too early to call.

The website is hoeless. Maybe it's demand but whatever its worse than useless. If I wasn't an RL supporter I'd have given up. Did manage to get the seating plans up and book for Wembley - although most blocks didn't seem yo have 2 seats together. But the plans have gone again and I can't book Old Trafford.

Use the 'fast tickets' tab. Or go through Man Utd where you can pick your own seat: https://www.eticketing.co.uk/muticketsa ... paign=RLWC

Hopefully the plans going means they are finally updating them, I have visions of RFL staff sat there with Crayola Crayons colouring in the blocks manually!

Just booked 3 tickets for Fiji v.s Ireland at Rochdale. Really looked forward to that game
