I like khabadi, though not sure I'd watch a whole one.
Is that poster still trying to divide 45k by 2 for the DH? If he's older than 6, it's a damning indictment of our education system.

Looks like a good few have been shifted this week:

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Tue Nov 19, 2013 12:20 pm  

Wembley seating plan has been updated:



although you can still get single seats in some of the 'sold out' areas.

While I understand they want to make the ground look full for TV, only having 6 sections open for sale is restricting things too far IMO.

Whilst the crowd is going to be at least a decent one (probably a good one) I was hoping for a real push to sell even more.

the tier capacities are:

Lower: 34,303
Middle: 16,532
Upper: 39,165

so if you guestimate they've sold about a 3rd of the top tier, the news of 60k sales sounds about right.

I think 60k is decent (its more than what we'd have got for 2 separate Semi's up north) but I really hope we can push for 70k

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Tue Nov 19, 2013 12:51 pm  

70k would be a really good positive figure.

I've not seen much of a push down here though, the London/Southern RL community haven't been involved in any kind of marketing push from what I've seen.

Some comparisons vs a 60k+ attendance at Wembley:-

- In 2008, the combined attendance for the two semi's came to 42,514.
- 2000, it totalled 24,146
- 1995, it totalled 46,650

- The 2011 4 Nations double-header at Wembley attendance was 42,344.

A few rows of the previously £99 and £79 tickets by the half way line are back on sale at £50. Grab a great seat if you haven't already!
