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

Let's hope we get a few (thousand) more thinking along the same lines!

If anybody is like me, I've not even thought of purchasing tickets over Xmas for a game that is two months away.

Now that the hectic holiday period is over, I'll be looking to purchase my ticket within the next week or so.

Exactly the same. We'll be getting our 7 tickets this week and i'd imagine there will be plenty of others with the same mindset.

WCC Wigan site showing 4000 tickets left? : Tue Jan 04, 2011 1:16 pm  

I dont know if the ticketmaster stadium map is right but its showing about 4000 left

It isn't. Pretty much all the ones in the North have been given to the RFL and are shown as sold. I think sales are starting to approach 10k but it's apparently way more than Leeds had sold this time last year.

Same for us. Also got family in Boston coming accross with it being such a huge game even though they havn't been for 5 years. I would imagine many will buy tickets that didn't even attend the GF.

Still not sure of a sell-out though, too many people will be happy watching on tv due to the ticket price.

Leyther_Matt will know ho many have been sold. Hopefully he will post up some figures at some point.

I don't know how many have been sold at the RFL but they hadn't exactly had a rush the last I'd heard.

Exactly. The RFL have gone way over the top with ticket pricing. They should have learned from the 2009 Four Nations. Empty seats at both Doncaster for England v France and at Wigan for England v Australia.
