Good news

Almost 64,000 tickets have been sold for this Saturday's Rugby League World Cup final double-header, while the wheelchair final is a complete sell-out. Australia take on Samoa in the men's final, which will follow the women's decider between the Jillaroos and the New Zealand Kiwi Ferns.

Great news ! I was fearing a crowd of 35 to 40 with the possibility that this game could be yet another 60-6 scoreline.

There's a few league media reaching out to the Rock to do a shout out to his samoan brothers. :D that might be all the publicity they need to get the growd up over 70 :D

If the Samoans did some media it would help sales.

I'm expecting quite a few no shows so predict it may be around 60 in attendance which is still a great outcome all things considered.

Whilst it would be disappointing if a lot don't show at least for WC that surely helps bring in a bit of extra profit.

Hopefully. Here's commentary on revenue from that article

Dutton stressed that irrespective of whether or not the final sells out, the tournament will still produce a significant revenue - He said: "The double-header will gross three times more than the 2013 final if you add in tickets and hospitality, and that's important because it's an expensive tournament to pay for," he said.

So reading between the lines the ticket prices for this year's final are significantly higher than the sell out crowd in 2013 ? If they have sold 60k and are making triple the revenue tixs must be about triple the price ?

If the stadium is nearly full and they make triple the revenue it shows the organising got the tickets price right. If England were playing no doubt it would have sold out.

Too bad the final isn't a 2:30pm kickoff, like the 2013 RLWC final, with most of the game during daylight hours

It will be dark by the time today's final kicks off at 4pm

Why not have the game at 11.00 am kickoff ( Manchester) makes 10.00pm here Sat night. I could easily organize a World Cup Party and a few beers. It's about time organizations cater for the main media countries. The same should apply here to games in Australia, it should be TV friendly for UK viewers.

I don't understand why it wasn't played in prime time.

I'll admit, final drew 7.5K more than I was expecting, must have been a late surge for sales, but definitely pleasantly surprised.

Crowd looked great, definitely a great way to cap off the tournament.
