Bloody hell! I should have taken those tickets!

If I had known that the ticket selller was such a complete imbecile --- even more stupid than was apparent -- selling expensive seats at bargain prices, I would have grabbed as many as possible and resold what I didn't need for a small profit.

Best troll you ever did was phil clark commentating being tantamount to mental torture and the guy who likes him having stockholm syndrome. Funny stuff.

This is shocking.

I know some of the RL press pack had a moan that Grand Final tickets were too cheap and we undersell our events, but (forgetting they don't have to pay) the prices for the RLWC will have brought people in who'd never pay some of the prices at other events will try charge. Whether they come back or not, I doubt many will have had a bad experience of the RLWC.

Regarding the RU tickets, they could put any price and Twickenham would sell out. Money is no object down there. But they are trying to expand in the north, and i can't see people paying them sorts of prices to watch a Italy v.s Canada at Elland road.

Just spoke to the ticket line. only tickets left are 150 in the Red cafe Hospitality at about £70 each. they close at 5pm tonight and any left will not go on general sale, due tothe logistics of ordering food, getting the Hospitality tickets to customers etc.
I think that this is fantastic news that we can sell out a NZ V Aus match. The RL organisers, the RL public and the players have done a remarkable job with this WC. Hats off to everyone and i for 1 am really excited about Saturday.

They look like good seats too. Half way line, 2nd tier of the North Stand. Bargain!

Ring the Fusiliers and give them the entire 200 with a big thank you.

Well done England fans. An England v NZ final in Sydney would be lucky to break 30k and they would mostly be ex pats attending.

Excellent.And 70k plus of those were sold without the finalists being known.If England could have hung on for 20 more seconds and made it, i would wager we could have gone over the 100k attendance mark had the ground have taken that many people such would be the demand and hype this week.Your ticket, should you have had one, would have fetched a few quid too were you willing to sell it on the black market thats for sure!

Officially sold out and it will be the biggest international RL attendance ever in this country.
