They've released the extra Corportate tickets which have gone unsold for the Final, clearly they were holding it back, for supply and demand, and there's no problem with that at all, is there?
You can see this example by looking at where you can buy tickets, and what's classed as hospitality, they're the seats which are available.
What is the 'Ticket + Bar' though? Is there actually any benefit, as there is nothing on the website for it's specification!

So people should STOP moaning, and get buying, as we've seen on this WC so far, they hold back tickets for hospitality and sponsors, and now they're available... Which is great! 16 days until the final and I expect 76,000 full house!

William Eve says that this is terrible because 2 million watched the same game on a freezing cold boxing day in 1953, unfortunatley no records of this survive but he has had a look at a picture and tried to count them so this is certainly true.

Gutterfax would like to point out that most of that million came in groups and most had attended an RL game before so that 1 million should actually be counted as 25026 which is terrible because 8 billion of the worlds 7 billion population attended the RU World Cup game between Somalia and Mongolia played in Singapore.

9.26 billion watched the game in Singapore

Who is William Eve?

You basically get access to one of the bar lounges before, during and after match although there's no freebie food or drinks thrown in.

good job it's not thrown in, I prefer mine in a glass and on a plate

Sorry I got a little silly there.

Consider myself warned.

@RLWC2013: Some of these tickets include bar access and a Q&A with Andrew Johns and Brad Fittler.

A QandA is a bit better than just bar access

the last 3 years i think SOO has been a let down. now with players worrying about being banned there will be less biff and the neutrals who watch the game for the biff wont bother.

Was it a double header though?

1. counting the same people twice smacks of desperation....what is it you are trying to emulate?
2. Union....ah, you're trying to emulate Union......note that you brought Union to the debate BTW.
3.....I'd give up trying to compare this RLWC to union, stick to counting people once and don't give up your day job, because humour and you aren't compatible bedfellows.

anyway are we on track to beat the target and previous world cups? Don't really keep up on the figures as people tend to argue about them.

It is.

No £20 tickets left at Headingley now so that's the front of the north stand seats sold out to add to the SS and CT.

Looking like a 15k crowd minimum at this rate depending on walk ups.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Headingley looking similar to last week. Two 18k crowds would be another great achievement for the tournament.

They are compatible, I found it quite funny after the tripe you've been spouting for the last few weeks.

Go away and let us enjoy the games instead of listening to your tedious drivel. Also with 17,000 comments i'd recommend a few weeks away from here. That can't be healthy. It makes my head sore once in a while.

Nope..they are not compatible at all.


Your concern about my health is touching...




What? I freely admit that I was wrong with my prediction of 360k....by at least 30% I'd say. I still say the cryptic nature of the releases were a concern, but it is only now that the crowds have arrived that keyboard warriors like yourself and Il Fan above come out to debate the issues......I've seen posters like you come and go.....dreamers.

lol, yes you were wrong about the publics support of the RLWC, yes your constant whinging about the media releases leading up to RLWC has made you look a dick now the event is underway and doing superbly, yes most on here lol at you, alot. But every village needs its idiot and you fulfill the role admirably, keep it up. Only a couple of months and you can start being negative about the WCC and the season kick off!

It's hard to debate crowd issues without actual crowds!

People had given you their opinion of what they thought crowds would be.
You gave yours, and made a point of given yours, that the crowds would be disappointing and the messages coming out from the powers that be were concerning. You've been made to admit you were wrong. Why not just leave it at that instead if digging yourself into a further hole?

For you to call anyone a keyboard warrior after your one-man crusades on here is just laughable.

I think it's time to let this one go, fella!

Brilliant!!! I choose to comment on crowds once we know what the crowds are and that makes me a keyboard warrior and a dreamer!! I didnt feel any need to comment on speculation at the time. I left that up to experts and realists like yourself.

But dont worry, i saw all of the tripe you put on about press releases prior to the tournament. The irony of you calling me a keyboard warrior isnt lost on me.

I strongly recommend that people leave this site and instead go to totalrl.com which is a far more interesting and positive site for rl followers,is administered on a more professional basis and most importantly,quickly bans known trolls who seek to deliberately damage the game.This site has had it's day and is slowly dying due to the ineffectiveness of the admins.

Congratulations to our friend in the gutter for derailing yet another thread.

Anyway, how much of the upper tier will be open next week? Hoping that there will be a rush for tickets once the teams etc are confirmed.

Do you run that site?
