If you have non available its sold if some are returned you have some to sell again
We do seem to make a pigs ear of this though with the best seats empty in the middle of a camera shot whilst fans decide against making a journey due to only poor seats left

New Zealand have always challenged Australia in Finals, and beaten them in at least two of those.

Now New Zealand have a better team than before, with an exciting spine --- Shaun Johnson and Kieran Foran as the halves, Isaac Luke as hooker, and Josh Hoffman at full back --- plus a huge pack with the X-factor of Sonny Bill Williams. And I might add a sensational new winger in Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, paired with Manu "The Beast" Vatuvei on the other wing.

So even if England is not at the final, Australia vs New Zealand would be an absolute cracker of a final, with high quality defence that will be as good as State of Origin, and perhaps more brilliant attacking moves than SoO.

But meanwhile everyone should get to Wembley to see England try to beat New Zealand, because that game will be a cracker as well.

These kinds of games don't come around every year. Sonny Bill won't be in rugby league in 2015 and 2016. Once in a lifetime games!

First time i find myself agreeing with all of your post.However, your love in with certain players, partcularly Tuivasa-Sheck is a becoming a concern.

Just got three seats together in a central area behind the goals for the final after a week or so of trying to get any! What's behind the idea of saying sold out when it really isn't ?

There is a hospitality area behind one of the goals, so I presume they have released these to general sale.

Well the SS and CT have sold out along with most of the paddock in the North stand.

So that's at least 10k but less than 20k

You have been listening to Phil Gould to much - he seems to think SOO is played by super-humans - the defence in SOO is no more intense than you see in games in the NRL between the top sides. Many of the world's best players are ineligible for SOO e.g. SBW so the concept that it is the next best thing to a test match is flawed.

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Thu Nov 14, 2013 2:15 pm  

They've released the extra Corportate tickets which have gone unsold for the Final, clearly they were holding it back, for supply and demand, and there's no problem with that at all, is there?
You can see this example by looking at where you can buy tickets, and what's classed as hospitality, they're the seats which are available.
What is the 'Ticket + Bar' though? Is there actually any benefit, as there is nothing on the website for it's specification!

So people should STOP moaning, and get buying, as we've seen on this WC so far, they hold back tickets for hospitality and sponsors, and now they're available... Which is great! 16 days until the final and I expect 76,000 full house!

William Eve says that this is terrible because 2 million watched the same game on a freezing cold boxing day in 1953, unfortunatley no records of this survive but he has had a look at a picture and tried to count them so this is certainly true.

Gutterfax would like to point out that most of that million came in groups and most had attended an RL game before so that 1 million should actually be counted as 25026 which is terrible because 8 billion of the worlds 7 billion population attended the RU World Cup game between Somalia and Mongolia played in Singapore.
