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.

How do you know they're not?

What were you expecting - a sellout to be announced two months before the night of the game?

No, why would you think that? For a club famous for its excellent support, in perhaps the most interesting WCC for some time, I would expect more than figures to be limping towards the 10,000 mark, and to not have desperate, and IMO, inaccurate, comparisons to Leeds' figures from last season in order to justify this.

I think it's pretty accurate myself, Dave

Not sure how the computer booking system takes account of actual sales as against generally ticket availability, for example those tickets sold via the RFL,but having just booked another 6 there seems to be less than 15% availability in the North, West and South stands and not a lot more in the East. Maybe Wigan aren't shouting about it becauuse they don't need to?

It doesn't give much of a representation of sales as the RFL have been allocated most of the North but they will show as 'sold' on the system.

Any idea on sales through the RFL to non Wiganers?

Not many the last I heard but I'd expect it to pick up soon. I think neutrals might be torn between the Magic weekend and the WCC, to be honest.

If I was a neutral I'd be going to the Magic Weekend rather than the WCC tbh

Half empty stadium with an overload of meaningless games or a game between the two best sides in the world? No contest IMO.
