70,000+ tickets sold for the final. There is going to be chaos if England somehow manage to get there.

Elaborate ...

Just noticed on the flyer that came with my tickets that for people who have already bought tickets but then buy more you get five sheets of any adult ticket with the promo code "THANKS".

Just bought 2 online for the South Stand at the HJ quarter final. It took me ages on line and at one stage I rang the ticket office in frustration to be told they are getting a very high volume of calls at the moment and requesting me to call back later. discount code HJ50 if anyone wants it.

I think he means that fans who are waiting to see if England get there will be scrambling for 5,000 tickets

England won't make it. They'll be bitchslapped into submission by NZ in the semi.

Probably.....but not definitely!

I'm hoping more tickets get sold for Wembley. I would hate for England v NZ to be playing a World Cup semi final on BBC and there loads of empty red seats.

I would be stunned if they don't fill Wembley.
Tickets are still as cheap as chips and I suspect there will be a massive push in the south after England have cemented their place there......
.....the big concern is the 2nd game and how many will remain in their seats (especially for the 2nd half which seemed to be the stage at which the Millennium Stadium looked empty).

Imagine if we got the record (for both codes) attendance though! Is it 83k?

Once we know for sure england are in the semi, sales will pick up from that angle. Plus that is when the majority of NZ and aus tours will be coming over, and with it being a double header we'll get the benefit of their combined attendance as they aren't going to come halfway around the world, pay for a double header and not watch both games.

If heartlands folk turn out in force i seriously belive it could get the record.
