Looks like there is only individual seats left for Club Wembley. With the middle and lower tiers all but sold out that is 50,835, plus however many tickets have been sold up in the gods. Hopefully the rest of the stadium will be opened up soon.

A good few blocks up the top look to be full or close to full when you try and select a few seats together.

I think 70k looks a realistic aim.

Yippee

On a serious note though that's great but I will be packing those ear plugs!

I've just bought 31 for my Under 7's and their siblings but will be sat well away from them in the South Stand after they fell for the classic 'already got my tickets' line.

Can't wait. Going to Leeds with my mate who's a sweaty sock, his mrs and my mrs (who's totally fallen for RL this autumn!)
Then got tickets for the DW with the mrs too.
Can't remember being more excited for many games.

Sold more for this week than at same time before last game which had 18k

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Mon Nov 11, 2013 9:29 pm  

Hadn't the southstand at headingley sold out by this point last week?

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Mon Nov 11, 2013 10:58 pm  

Excited, sadly, i can't see a big attendance at Wrexham, which is a shame, and i guess, the RFL's gamble to play it in Wrexham on the basis they thought Wales would be a dead cert, has backfired, significantly.
But no point crying over spilt milk, and Leeds, Wigan and especially Warrington should sell very well.

That Warrington game is gonna be an absolute stormer. I'm Buzzing, sadly the other 3 are gonna be no contests, but it's a valiant warm up for England and New Zealand at least, and somehow i hope USA can spring something of an upset, however unlikely.

I hope we cross 65,000 for the 4 quarters!

He is indeed, he's saying hadn't (at a week before the game) the southstand sold out at this stage for game 1. Therefore game 2 at Headingley will need sales to pick up to rival the 18k crowd.

Using the attendances from Sporting Life

Average Group Game attendance 2008 14890 from 12 games.
Average Group Game attendance 2013 14435 from 21 games

This is a really good figure when you consider that in 2008 25% of the group games were the big three playing each other. Aus, NZ and England had all already played each once by this time in 2008, whereas only England and Aus have played one game in 2013.

Also the additional 8 games are additional games between the minnows where you would expect lower attendances

303,151 cumulative attendance so far, 258,099 tickets sold.

If we can average about 15k for the quarters, got 70k to Wembley, and sell out the final we would be looking at about 580k cumulative attendance giving an average of circa 20714 with 465k tickets sold, compared to 2008 with a cumulative attendance of 293,972 and an average of 17,292

Edit: I missed out a game, this has been added back in
