We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Tue Oct 15, 2013 7:00 pm  
Are we 100% that there were no discounted tickets in 2000???

Also if this tournament turns a profit would you agree that profit is the true measure of success?

A large chunk of the Final tickets were given away for free in the Manchester Evening News in 2000.

Not that it matters much, but if William says we can't count the double headers attendance twice, you can't divide it by 28.

Why would you want to count the attendance at a double header twice?

For example, let's say 60.000 attend Cardiff in two weeks time. You wouldn't count that 60,000 attendance twice... once for England V Australia and again for Wales V Italy would you?

There were 60,000 in paid attendance for two games... not 120,000.

I've paid for entry for 2 games at Headingley, does that mean I only count on one of them?
FWIW in Union they count the Double Header crowd for each game.

Still no Eng v Ire tickets here.

Spoke to the RLWC2013 ticket line yesterday. Lots of ambiguity. Tickets have been printed but don't know if or when they have been sent.

For all I know they could be lost in the post.


Same here and same explanation.

Looking like everyone who booked early for this game hasn't got their tickets. Ring a week before was all i got. Could be a massive problem if these have been nicked and resold because the match will be a sellout.

Are both those games covered by the purchase of just one ticket or the purchase of two tickets?

There is no 20% safety blanket because I haven't requested one.

Why lie? Everyone can see you did. You either tried to load the dice in your favour and hoped no-one noticed or you were too stupid to realise you had done so. Whatever the reason for it. It happened

You believe 300k is acceptable as a bare minimum?

Bearing in mind almost 264k attended the 2000 World Cup and paid full price for their tickets... add in the fact that it also had a £1,000,000 sponsor (The Lincoln Financial Group)... and that it made huge losses and was considered a disaster...

Why would you consider 300k as a bare minimum ok figure in 2013 when the vast majority of folk are in attendance on the back of heavily discounted 50% off tickets and it doesn't have a named sponsor shelling out a million quid this time around?
you think all tickets in 2000 were paid for? Never mind full price, half price or any price we saw tickets given away for free in 2000. And yes, selling more tickets than we did in 2008, in Australia where the modern season ticket loving cheap ticket needing super league fan couldn't be responsible for attendances should be our bare minimum aim

60k in attendance for 2 games is a 120k attendance over two fixtures.

In a further desperate attempt to load the dice in your favour you are asking us to either ignore a game happening at all and discount it from the calculations or pretend that two games which 60k attended had only 30k attending. It's amongst your most twisty-turny-spinny agenda pushing yet.

Do you have a spreadsheet of the attendances of the games you ignore or dismiss as made up because they don't fit your agenda? So far I think we have the WC double header, les Catalans in Toulouse, the challenge cup final, any more?

was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have
