I thought I got the cheapest sitting seats a available . But even paying £10 for a 5 year old going to his first RL match in a 1/4 stadium is not great marketing. It would have been better if they said all kids free with one adult ticket . You would get more people in .
As for ST James park I got 3 £35 tickets to sit up high which is ridiculous when there were 12,000 £70 tickets that no one bought .

I would have thought it is easy enough to have 3 grading of tickets and then sell out the tickets from the pitch upwards . That way the early buyers are rewarded but then plenty cheaper seats for the casual fans and then sell the stadium out. If with a week to go you have sold 43 , 000 tickets with everyone in the better seats announce all remaining tickets at £10 each and sell the stadium out . Buns on seats makes the game look bigger with more interest

Why ?

If we are going to do it, do it right.

People too bothered about results or empty seats in this sport. We never let any of our seeds grow.

Lets not devalue a competition by not sending our best squad. Im all for international growth but I want more then the same old Aus or NZ series.

THe Wheelchair sport benefited more from the tournament, I personally had dismissed it through ignorance prior to the World Cup but once I watched one of the earlier games I was hooked. My very earlier vision of the sport was a wheelchair bashathon but the skill and team work was a joy to watch, and having Amor doing the commentary explaining the rules was a bonus.

running all 4 comps together was the big success from this tourney, the whole project was average when it came to publicity and attendance, but the wheelchair and PDSL has been a big success, let us hope they build on that for 3 years time.

I know the French will be after revenge in the Wheel chair comp,that would be something to look forward to that is for certain.

Hosting in places that have an arena right in the centre for the Wheelchair and a good stadium walkable from the centre for the Mens and Womens games is the way forward. Newcastle ticks this box, Liverpool will when Everton's new stadium opens etc. Gives the whole weekend more of a festival feel rather than people just going to one game then driving home.
