289,193 cumulative attendance so far, 254,141 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 560k cumulative attendance giving an average of circa 18,500, with 455k tickets sold, compared to 2008 with a cumulative attendance of 293,972 and an average of 17,292

Not to nit pick but if the current cumulative attendance is 289,193

+ (15k x 4 = 60,000)
+70,000
+75,000

= ~494k cumulative attendance not 560?

EDIT: Ignore that, I can't count how many semi finals there are.

Demand must be pretty high, can't get on the page to order tickets on line, and the phone number won't even put you in a queue, just asks you to call back later....

Try the normal RFL number: 0844 856 1113

The World Cup number is hopeless.

After all the gutter talk earlier in the thread about cheap tickets, I noticed an advert for Scotland v Australia RU tickets starting at £20...

D'oh. Huge fail on my part there, sorry.

That's what lack of sleep from a new born does to you.

If you price it low, you don't value the sport correctly! Or something.
