Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Mon Nov 18, 2013 10:52 pm  

There may be some returns like we've seen for the final but presuming there aren't many we must be around 60,000 if not a few more. The bottom two tiers hold just over 50k and the top tier has 18 blocks open, of which all but a few seem full. When you work out an average number of seats per block (although it may not be fully accurate as the touchline blocks are bigger then the ends)I'd guess there's around another 15,000 on sale up there of which at least 10,000 must have gone. Either that or they're holding some £20 tickets back further in to the middle then the two end blocks that are being allocated online which wouldn't make sense.

I think we can shift another few thousand this week and will put my guess at around 67-68,000 which will be a good effort.

Wonder how many of the Club Wembley seats will be taken, it was bloody awful at the CC final...

Pretty much all of them judging by the ticket website. Club Wembley membership isn't valid for this game and the tickets for that tier have all been on general sale.

Well, the ticket page on the RLWC site won't let me buy 3 tickets of any price.
That's a good sign, surely ? (not for me, obviously)

I hope it is not deterring buyers!

I phoned up and got 3 x £40 tickets. There's obviously a flaw in the online system.

Not very scientific but Jamie Peacock mentioed on TV after the QF that the SF would be great with 60,000 there. So, that maybe implies ticket sales then were around that mark or a little below and he was rounding up to be positive?

Steve Mcnamara said he had been told 60k tickets had been sold.

1. counting the same people twice smacks of desperation....what is it you are trying to emulate?

nowhere near as retarded as pretending that only half the people who were at a match were there. Either count them as two games and with two attendances of 45k, or 1 of 45k. Making up that there was 22.5k there was moronic.

2. Union....ah, you're trying to emulate Union......note that you brought Union to the debate BTW.

no i brought you and your union trolling in to the debate. I couldnt give the slightest fucsk about Union. I dont care if union get a billion trillion people to watch their WC, i wont be one of them so i wont notice. What union get is as relevant and important as what the punjabi khabbadi league get.

3.....I'd give up trying to compare this RLWC to union, stick to counting people once and don't give up your day job, because humour and you aren't compatible bedfellows.

whether funny or not, its got you all precious and your knickers in a twist, and that is funny.

I hope you mentioned it to them. It needs sorting. I think it will potentially put off people buying tickets.
