Just spent three frustrating days on the non-intuitive RLWC website trying to book two downloadable tickets for the Lebanon / Ireland game at LSV on Sunday. This followed trying to book on the LSV website and being referred. After the RLWC had mined all Bongser's personal details for marketing/schmarketing purposes, he repeatedly got a message of "Your payment has not been successful, please try again".

Bongser works in Manchester so resorted to marching down to The Bonded Warehouse off Lower Byrom Street (incidentally, it is opposite another ridiculous, clownish outfit, "The Crystal Maze Experience") but couldn't gain access.

In an effort to vent, rang LSV and was greeted by a nice lady who said (in paraphrase), "Ah, you too! Loads of people are complaining about that website. Just stroll up on the day and we'll sell you available tickets."

Had that call not taken place, Bongser would have pulled the plug on his attendance and lost them a pair of spectators, one of which would be an Irishman attending his first ever RL match. Will he catch the bug? Dunno, but this party is trying to do his bit!

Point is, the whole thing is a mess. If the tournament is struggling to break even (as reported), why book (and pay for) Headingley for PNG Ladies vs Canada Ladies? Embarassing "crowd" shots!

The England v Brazil game was on beforehand. Sounds like not many stayed on for the second game for PNG v Canada.
I got the impression that a lot of tickets were given to schools (discounted or free, I do not know) for the day, as the good crowd for the England game had a lot of children included, from what I could gather as I was listening rather than watching while working.

West stand price was £25 for this game before the comp started and still is according to the RLWC2021 website. South stand tickets at £25 are under category D standing (even though the South stand is labelled category C), and anyone purchasing at the rate of £40 should get the difference refunded.
I noticed there were more people in the West than the South for the PNG v Cook Islands and Samoa v France games, as it was cheaper for the two previous matches..

Pretty sure it went up to 30 quid for the quarter final game when I booked 3 games about a month ago.

Cheers, MPN

Still a massive loss though, you would imagine.

Went online last night and bought myself a £25 adult South Stand ticket, downloaded and printed it at work today, all good to go.

RLWC website was painful though......

Website is terrible isn't it, I've eventually booked though and have got 6 of us going to this one. Very much looking forward to it, my lads first game of rugby and he's decided that he's an honorary tonga fan for the day.
