It's great news in a sense that cheaper tickets aren't available but with plenty of cheaper sections greyed out on the seat map they surely most open up some more soon.

I'd rather have 60k there with some gaps in the middle sections then 50k there but with just the visable tv areas full.

Lets be positive and get some more areas opened.

There are plenty of tickets available in the upper tier for £20 and £25.

True but not everyone will want to sit on the top tier. I got 8 tickets a few weeks back and could only get £30 ones on the bottom tier about 10 rows from the front which isn't ideal but i'd rather be down where the atmosphere is.

There's a few blocks behind the posts in that end of the stadium that 's 2 tiers instead of 3 they could open up yet and hopefully will.

Not been to the Millennium since our 2005 cup win, so my memory is a bit fuzzy! but IIRC the smaller stand behind the posts has a separate concourse to the rest of the stadium, and this may be why they are keeping it closed for now. Also I'd imagine they will fill that area with sponsor banners/World Cup logo's to cover up some of the empty seats if it doesn't sell out.

Just slightly off-topic, but i caught the highlights of NZ V.S Aus cricket match in the ICC trophy and noticed there were a lot of empty seats. Wonder if anyone is concerned about the health of cricket

If the RL world cup has even one game that has some empty seats, i'm sure these message boards will be full of some "fans" gleefully telling everyone international RL is pointless, no one is interested and it is dead.

1. Cricket is as loved up as League is....many people are concerned about its current state.
2. A pair of teams playing 12,000 miles away from home on a Wednesday is hardly the same as fears of 50,000 empty seats at an England HOME game on a Saturday.


Nobody "wants" the RLWC to fail......but anyone who dares question the activities and marketing thus far is seemingly a gleeful naysayer in waiting

500,000+ tickets on sale......if they'd sold half of them we'd have been told......if they'd sold 200,000 of them we'd have been told........all we have been told is that they shifted a few corporate and group sales, half sold out the final and 1,500 family tickets on a cash back scheme were sold to London and St Albans yoof RL.........

I am aware that some posters on here say they are "waiting to see what their mates are doing"......I'd suggest that in reality, they are waiting for the "offers" to start...like the recent Ireland + Exiles offer.

Last time I checked, England weren't playing at home in the opening game

Not sure where you got the impression that I was on benefits, but I have never signed on in my life.

As for me being "in charge" and everything being fine.....I have never said I have the answers, I'm simply pointing out that at the moment, it is looking worrying with regard to ticket sales, but if you need to sling personal insults, especially ones well wide of the mark and with no foundation, then knock yourself out

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Sat Jun 15, 2013 5:49 am  

Heard that the Ireland game in Limerick had sold around 3500 and the Fiji v Ireland game at Rochdale was around the same mark.

Think that's pretty positive at this stage.
