http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/oct/16/world-cup-crowd-millennium-stadium

They've sold more than that... on Twitter the other, a journalist said 45k and I reckon it's closer to 50k..

 

[roughyedspud]

theres a very really prospect that the opening game of this world cup will have more fans at it than the last world cup final...

^ Reminds me of the stuff they produce for the Olympics. Really great, just a shame they aren't covering more games.

No games are sold out yet. I don't think there's any point posting speculative figures, especially from TRL where most of the posters are complete zealots. There haven't been any official announcements on ticket sales, so all of that is just guesswork.

didn't know that about TRL.

yeah it's pointless but it's just a bit of fun.

 

[Hindyscrack]

Seriously, how often are you going to get to see the Kangaroos play, on TV even, compared to a French game in France? No brainer...

Yeah, I should have skipped Aus v Ireland in Ireland match... But I've been in London 6 years and havent stepped foot in Ireland yet (despite having traveled to 40 odd countries in all of the continents in that time!). The monday fixture time didnt help with the few days of leave remaining for this year!

Catalan match next year it is!

 

[kiwileaguefan]

in twitter they are saying England vs Ireland is a official sell out - first of the RLWC 13

Headingley's capacity is AFAIK 20,500.

That was the attendance for the WCC this year anyway.

As for Eng/Ire selling out, that's great news. 25k for this game shows what good marketing can do. Especially when you take into account that every time we play the kiwis at Hudds we struggle to break the 20k mark.

 

[Poul]

in twitter they are saying England vs Ireland is a official sell out - first of the RLWC 13

The SOLD OUT sign is up at the www.rlwc2013.com website for this game :crazy:

 

[kiwileaguefan]

IRL are now saying Ireland vs Fiji is close to being sold out

 

[Perth Red]

Awsome, great response, well done the promoters! This tournament is certainly going to set the bar high and give the ARLC a big challenge to meet its "best ever" stated goal for the next RLWC.

60,000 final tickets sold

All seating at hj sold out

 

[dentonblue]

Over 6,000 sold for each of the games in Workington (Scotland v Tonga, Scotland v Italy). Sorry can't provide link as I don't have enough posts, but it's on newsandstar.co.uk

 

[CC_Roosters]

Anyone know how England v Fiji is selling at hull? In my mind it could be one of the games of the tournament as I expect Fiji to come out fast against them lets see how England respond

 

[roughyedspud]

i expect fiji to go out fast against australia...lets see how the underdone aussies handle them...

The two games in red aren't currently sold out Terence so I don 't know where you got that info from. In fact I can't recall seeing any figures quoted for either game from an official source.

 

[roughyedspud]

[PaulyTom]

Just a recap on how sales are going

England vs Ireland is SOLD OUT 24K expected.
NZ vs Samoa Seating area is sold out. Standing area is still available.
Tonga vs Scotland in Workingham Seating area has SOLD out with only standing tickets available. Around 6K of 10K have been sold.
Italy vs Scotland in Workingham Seating area has SOLD out with only standing tickets available. Around 6K of 10K have been sold.
Final at OLD TRAFFORD has sold around 60K . Final will be a sell out
Semi Final at Wembley - Sold over 50K . With the momentum of the ENgland team building through out the comp it is expected that this will go close to a sell out.
England vs Australia in Cardiff- Reports differ , some say 35K have been sold and other say over 40K has been sold.
