NZRL?

I thought the ARLC took back the responsibility for tickets for this competition?

They make the money from home tests

Dunno if it’s the same for png and Fiji but it should be

Nah, the NZRL is still primarily in control of all home tests. They maybe getting assistance from the ARLC/NRL, but the referee will be wearing NZRL apparel, there will be NZRL sponsors on the field & it is the NZRL managing the allocations on Ticketek.

Okay thank. What happened to the ARLC being angry over last years crowd?

I'm pretty sure it was a News beat up. Even if it was true, there is a contract in place between the NRL, Sky & NZRL which guarantees the NZRL a minimum of two home tests each non-RLWC year which can be commercialised by the NZRL.

Amazing. Thanks mate.

Well that result will help next week's crowd. I expect the Tongan community of Western Sydney to turn CommBank Stadium red.

22,363 at Mt Smart.

NRL has just released all the held back seats for next week's Final.

Very few Bronze seats left, same with Diamond & Gold.

22,363 at Mt Smart.

Much better then the 18,000 mentioned.

The Tongan fans bought over 4,000 tickets in the last 48hrs, so there was definitely late movement.

The 18K put out on Thursday & 20K on Friday were pretty on the money.

Beat the Eng v Sam crowd today as well.

Well done Auckland NZ & Samoa fans.

 

[League Unlimited News]

16,068 at Headingley for England v Samoa

16,068 at Headingley for England v Samoa

That is surprisingly low for a game that was almost sold out (less than 500 tickets left)

 

[Wb1234]

Headingly capacity is 19600 so claims it was close to selling out are bs

If Tonga v Australia sells out it’s going to be an amazing atmosphere

Can the Tongan diaspora in Sydney show up like their brethren in Auckland did

That singing from the crowd last night was phenomenal.

These Pacific matchups have so much crowd potential going forward.

Imagine Tonga v Samoa in next year's Pac Cup? Atmosphere is Origin level between the two

It looks like tickets for the final are selling fast. Nothing left in the lower bowl, only corners available in the upper.

Not my problem, bought our halfway diamond tickets three weeks ago.

 

[Warriors Fever]

Got my tickets next week pax around the late 15k and that was last night. PNG looks good

Imagine Tonga v Samoa in next year's Pac Cup? Atmosphere is Origin level between the two

Fans of both Tonga and Samoa line the streets cheering the team bus arrivals.

its a bucket list game for sure, Samoa v Tonga at Mt Smart.

heard a few kiwis fans today say last night was the first v Tonga game they’ve attended and atmosphere was insane.

other bucket list games are attending a catalans game and watching a dolphins game from the pub balcony at the southern end of the ground.
