Yeah sorry, its just a bit of laziness of my behalf not to update that....

But yeah give it time for the information about Samoa making the RLWC to filter through.

Thought a few tickets might have sold for that game.

I'll be getting my tickets for Tonga v Samoa on the weekend. I really think as we get closer and interest builds out west that this game will sell out.

I must say, I know they have a year and the upcoming season to promote, but the day tickets came on sale, they had a brief press launch and a 1/3 page ad in the Sydney Daily Tele...

No ad in the SMH or Australian.

No tv advertising.

I was thinking about this the other day, but even billboard advertising on train stations like Sydney's Town Hall might be a way of getting the tournement in the public psyche..

There will be publicity guys... Just be patient. You don't advertise the 2009 NRL season during the '08 season, there's no point wasting money a year out from the tournament.

Exactly, they are only just finishing filming the RLWC TVC now, and the full RLWC marketing campaign is yet to start. Still encouraging that the tournament is slowly becoming more and more known and tickets are still moving ahead of schedule.

Fair enough....

Being a fan of International RL, I'm sure I'm not the only nervous nellie... :lol: :lol:

I'd say were all pretty nervous about the WC, but we have a full year left. It's a bit early to be worried about ticket sales. Hell im surprised they have sold as many tickets as they have, without any sort of promotions whatsoever.

Where is this game being played? Im surprised to see its sold 3 times as may tickets as one semi and the same amount as the other. I would of thought the semis would sell out well before a group stage match?

with respect yak, none of us have any reason to have faith in what the ARL/RLIF are organising in respect to marketing on this event. They could do start doing some small (and not expensive) things to let people know that the event even exists

 

[westie]

They have done small stuff. Advertising in the Tele and big league, big launch in the UK, plenty of free press in both papers. What more do you want a year out?

Can I just say that there was awareness of the 2006 Tri Nations being in Australia, but hardly any advertising or promotion..

In the end, we got 27,000 at the 42,000 SFS and a game of rugby league that showed SOO how it's done....

That in itself says to me we need to continue promotion...

 

[westie]

I agree with promotion. But I also agree that it would be a complete waste of money doing it now. Just good PR, stories in the paper, mentions by players, coaches and commentators is good enough for now.

Over 300 tickets sold today, so a positive day of sales. Some good movement for the opener, England v NZ and the Brisbane Semi.

Big drive up to Christmas is needed to sell tickets/ticket packages as Christmas presents
