25,000 tickets sold for Melbourne Origin already!

[Moffo]

As reported in the daily tele today

How good is that?

 

[ouwet]

I'm hoping it's more then 25,000... They reported that 2 weeks ago after the ARL released the International schedule.

A sellout crowd will be great and 25,000 is half way there

 

[pcpp]

Of course it's going to sell out!

We're all expecting the Anzac test to get at least 40,000 or sellout in a week or two time and they've only sold 15,000 tickets.

25000 down, 25000 to go...

 

[LESStar58]

Theres a lot of talk about Origin in the papers down here because of all the kerfuffle with Greg Ingliss.

Meninga wants him to play but Bellamy thinks he should wait til next year. Aside from that theres ads in the news parts of the HS. Better get my rtix quick smart. Maybe next pay day!

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

so the NRL are actually doin something for once, marketing-wise

 

[yankeerugger]

what is this all about?

Are they actually playing the SoO 3rd and deciding match at a neutral venue? Or am I mis interpreting this....

 

[LESStar58]

Nope...you've got it right.

Origin 3 is at Telstra Dome, Melbourne on July 5.

Yet only 16500 sold for the test Match in Brisbane in 2 weeks time. Has the ARL got it's priorities right?

 

[Moffo]

Melbourne the RL capital of Australia?

 

[Sharkie™]

oh god hope not

 

[IanG]

So what exactly is the capacity of the Thunder Dome?

Great PR and media work by the Storm, ARL and NRL... they should kept the stories and controversy coming!

 

[Hindyscrack]

Better hurry up and get myn!

 

[sooperdooper]

how many of those tickets were actually bought and not given away?

 

[Moffo]

300 maybe

Amazing that NEWSCORP, 100% owner of the Storm and publisher of the tele would be pushing this "story".

Your problem with that is?

25000 tickets is still 25000 tickets. Good stuff.

No problem ibeme, I just don't think that they "sold" 25,000 - I beleive it was a "story" designed to build hype.

That was my inference, sorry you didn't detect it.

And I'm sorry if you have a problem with that. I thought this was an open church.

You're the one who obviously had the problem with it. I was just interested to know what that was.
