Can't believe I only saw this thread now! My sis and I went nuts on the idea of buying tix to the WC final for Xmas pressies - going halves in Category B's were a great way to go. So, our clan for the final includes:

Me, my sis, my dad, both of my grandad's, my mum, my aunty, my wife, my sister's partner and four of our cousins! So that's one group of 13!

Also taking in the Semi-final at Suncorp with five other mates.

Can't wait!

I am surprised there hasn't been more banter surrounding the unavailability of category A tickets to the Final and to a lesser extent the Melbourne game.
I've been meaning to post this for a while.

Even though I was on Ticketek as soon as tickets went on sale, there no cat A tix for the final available. Just tried to get tix for the Melbourbe game and was offered quite poor cat A tix very close to the cat B seats.

Perhaps somebody in the know can shed some light on this? Are these seats being held for sponsors and VIPs or are the being held for the international release on Feb 18? OR have most all been allocated to tour operators?

After all the whinging by the poms about the ticket releases, it seems that it is us Aussies that have been shafted with the ticketing! I think the ARL could have ensured some cat A tix were available in the initial release to satisfy demand from the Aussie supporters of international RL.

I am still hoping that some Cat A tix will be made available in the international release. Will the international release be for everyone or will Aussie residents be excluded?

A small story in Feb's Rugby League Review notes the small sales for the lesser nations matches...

I would imagine - as it says in the story - that this will increase when the promotions start to kick in...

I will be doing my best to ensure the local radio and print media on the Central Coast get behind the Fiji vs Scotland match....

We still have 8 months to go....

Cat c - looks like the middle tier has sold lots and they are right up on the 3rd tier now
