Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Tue Oct 22, 2013 9:10 pm  

According to the RLWC site I could not get 3 tickets together anywhere in the ground. So sales seem good? Managed to get 3 on the Man Utd site - they only seem to have a couple of blocks left.

Old Trafford - you can get 3 seats together via Fast Tickets - they are in the "not yet avaiable" section - implying its getting close to a sell out? Great stuff if it is (although that may mean, on the usual conspiracy theory basis that an Oz v NZ final is affordable)!

Apparently 40K plus in Wales

‏@MartynSadler 22h
Ticket sales for the #RLWC2013 opener in Cardiff are now beyond 40,000. But will they #bethere for both matches? Let's hope so.

Is 50K achievable? No real accommodation left in town, so the remainder would need to be locals. Might be a push now.

There appears to be only a handful of single seats left in the bottom 2 tiers for Wembley now.

Yep the colouring is now pretty pointless as even at Cardiff there are greyed out sections that are actually on sale if you click on them.

The only issue with using fast tickets is you can't pick which section as the greyed area's have no Cat. number yet

On a purely selfish note, I was contemplating calling to the Samoa v NZ game on the way back from Cardiff, but it was a decision I'd have probably made halfway up the M6!

Looks like you will have to make a decision a little earlier than that mate. In the wider context of the game that is not a bad thing.

Agreed. I was always a big of a 'floating voter' for this one. In truth, I'll probably miss it but it's great to see some full grounds - especially for the non-England games.
