Most tickets will be purchased in the last month leading up to the game.
A lot of fans have needed to buy season tickets, Christmas presents and everything else that goes with it (a night out can be £100 these days).

I just hope the club/rfl push the game with adverts around town in late Jan /early Feb with posters .....The Aussies are coming! Etc.

Struggling to sell?

On the contrary from what I'm told. Four times what Leeds had sold at this time last year.

Thats good, just hope it continues, I still can't see a sell-out though.

I was going to post something simmilar regarding ticket sales are they struggling to sell tickets with them being advertised on the club website as crinbo pressies

Re: World Club Challenge Thread : Sat Dec 18, 2010 2:25 pm  

Not far off five figures sold and it's still very early for it yet, considering bigger priorites are season tickets, christmas, stuff like that.

I had real issues trying to book 4 adults and 2 seniors, via the Wigan Website. I jumoed on the RFL website and got them sorted no bother.

Not the first time i have had problems with official website.

They need to have a look at really. They lost out on a few quid last night.

So you're telling me Leeds had only sold 2500 tickets by December and 27000 showed up? Jog on mate.

I must admit I am surprised that the Wigan public aren't rushing to get their tickets for this one. I'm not having a go here, as I'm really looking forward to this match, but me and my mate thought this would be a nailed on sell out, regardless of price, owing to Wigan's current popularity and history in this "competition".

Plenty time yet - people have season tickets and Xmas to pay for first...oh, and new home shirts of course.
