Keeping Count of RLWC tickets purchased

[Day of Rockening]

I bought scot v fiji tickets last year... pax no. were 9 to 12...

I've just been sent new tickets because of the change in ko time... pax no.s are 277 to 280.

Hardly any have been sold at all it seems. I'll have a heap of space to strecth out.

for these games, i hope they allow in school children, free passes, etc, anyone who would be interested if handed a freebie.

what a great marketing thing it would be (maybe people, kids especially, would get interested more in league)

I'd prefer they actually did some marketing and sensible scheduling of matches to fill the stadiums.


Seems the professional thing to do....

aus v nz opening ceremony, pax 7605. cmon sydney, pump up!

they should be flogging the hell out of this game, as it will probably be the most watched apart from the final.

From Yakstorm on another forum.

The deceiving thing with a lot of the PAX numbers at the moment is they don't take into account sales done through touring companies, so they will look lower than what some of these matches have acctually moved (which is encouraging).

Anyway on ticket sales, the Newcastle match has moved over 6K worth of tickets, the Australia v NZ match around 8K, Australia v England had moved over 10K over a month ago..haven't heard an update since then, Brisbane semi is around 20K, Sydney semi is around 7K and the Australia v PNG clash is around 7K.

This far out and based upon the typical Australian RL market which doesn't pre-purchase, we're well ahead of typical pre-sales this far out. I think we are looking alright.

From what I understand (and there are experts who read these forums - i.e. Yakstorm) the PAX numbers don't include those tickets sold as part of Tour Packages... Knowing what we know about the number of tour packages sold to UK residents we can add 6,000 or so to this number?

Yes, we'll be there in our thousands - don't worry about that!

I'm counting it... I hope you're out in force. It'll help shut up the people who are death-riding the tournament.

Hopefully we'll return the favour when it's in your backyard.

There is just the slight inequity in currency to overcome

It'll be interesting to see any votes of no confidence in the tournament when thousands of poms are drinking the place dry and singing 'till they're hoarse in the grounds, streets and pubs of Australia.

Make sure you post any pics of deathriding journalists on the board, so we can deliberately look for them at the games and give them a piece of our minds; even better if we can rig it so we're interviewed outside the grounds etc.

Scotland v France: 3539

Tonga v Ireland: 2434

Samoa v Tonga:1964

Fiji v France: 2673

Scotland v Fiji: 2625

England v NZ: 5977

Semi F Brisbane: 11842

Final: 34626

Looks like sales are already better than the last World Cup. I still expect the lowest crowd to only be 7,000.

And that would be a sell out at Browne Park, Although I think the CUA rankings game will be lucky to get 7000.

I think 10-15k is a reasonaable target to set for Pool B and C games, Tonga V Samoa should be a sell out.

oh and for what it's worth, just bought new tickets to the final and the PAX is 33,750.

 

[Radioactive Man]

I thought the final sold out ?

 

[Trollhammaren]

As of two days ago Aus V NZ at SFS PAX was 13, 500

The 6,000 or so tickets to the final that are part of tours won't be included in that number.

But, as I understand that there are a few tickets that they are keeping in reserve to be released at different times between now and then.

If the PAX numbers work like we think they do then they've sold 3,000 in the last three weeks since I bought mine... that's not too bad.

i was very happy to see a whole bus field with a large ad for the opening ceremony match between nz v aus
