Just need a big final push now great effort...I see they've opened up the whole stadium. I'm taking a group of 15 fellow londoners (13 of which have never seen a league match - just need a good win now!

So we definitely have 52k confirmed I'd have settled for that in the beginning.

Interesting that now if you click buy tickets it says event no longer in list, all sold?

Still haven't got a ticket, but I'm sure I'd be able to get in somehow, there's always folk selling spare tickets.

No, it's just another ticket website **** up.

I got that, then went round the houses clicking back to the front page and tried again and got to the page with the map and still plenty of tickets left.

Every time the website doesn't work or isn't up to date costs the RFL money. It has been very unreliable in recent months in my experience.

Sporting life say its a capacity of 49k on Sat.

First game in RUWC attracted 50,626

Sales at 43,000

The one they declared sold out was their 'Bronze Final' 55,925 so seems safe to say 56k is the current capacity.

Great effort. Hopefully this is the first of many Tests at the venue. I think Wembley's Four Nations double header a few years back (2011?) attracted only 42k. And of course that day England were playing Australia.

'Neutral' fans will turn out in number if they know they are getting top class teams, I'm not a fan of American Football for example, but if the NFL took a game to the North of England one day I'd be tempted out of curiosity as I'd know I'd be getting the real deal, the top players in their sport.

both England and New Zealand's reputation has increased massively over the last few years, as both have competed with Australia and the England team have looked more like a team rather than a disjointed team of individuals like they did say 10 years ago. We're also one of the few England sides winning games (the football team went unbeaten in qualifying, but their reputation will take a lot of time to repair) all helps when it comes to getting fans to games.

We can throw these numbers around but we have to remember that they said that hull was basically sold out, only a couple hundred tickets left they said and there were 2,000 empty seats so you know, we will see on the day how many are at Olympic.

Anybody emailed the RFL rather than just posting it here?

Or better still, are people too scared to pick up a phone these days?

McNamara was on talksport tonight and said it was around 47k sold

Just bought a ticket.

I 'assume' it won't be posted out at this late stage, and will be 'collect at the gate'.

Of course, the RFL website (and the confirmation email I received) make no mention of this.

I emailed to query this, and will try to ring in the morning (if I can get through).

Hope we can hit 50k. Just because it sounds better, it's still a very impressive effort, last time the Kiwis toured the UK the games got 16k, 20k and 21k at Hudds, Hull and Wigan in better economic times. We've already smashed that figure before the 2nd test is played.
