The Las Vegas Thread

[Vlad59]

Mate @Wb1234 is just throwing a figure out there to start a debate, which it did and which might not even be beyond the realms of possibility if this thing takes off. But either way I wouldn`t get too het up about anything posted on here and you questioning any projections is within your rights and adds constructively to the debate.
With regards my post, I mention that because it is hard to put monetary values on somethings, yet monetary value certainly exists and is worth mentioning. All good.

Defending your little mate again? WB’s figures are a load of crap. As always. But I do like the way you run to defend him every time. It’s very sweet.

So a friend of mine in who lives in the US went online to buy tickets,

This is the picture in the ticket portal............

View attachment 98378

That's not the official ticket site, look at the top line of your screenshot, it says 'secondary ticket marketplace'.

The official ticket provider is Ticketmaster.

I don't blame you. Hard to imagine someone had actually signed off on this.

He said the ticket prices were ridiculous as well, nose bleed seats behind the posts were starting at US$160

They didn't, because the official ticket site is Ticketmaster (which is what the NRL, Allegiant Stadium & Visit LV are all linking to), they are looking at a dodgy secondary marketplace.

Give your mate this link https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/...l&utm_medium=vegas_hub&utm_campaign=2025vegas so he stops getting ripped off (seats behind the post on Level 3 are $29)

So basically you are saying he has made up a number with no basis whatsoever.

A comment that Wb1234 made before that after 5 years we will have data about Vegas to make comment if it is successful or not I agree with.

I don’t get too hot up about stuff posted on here. I just laugh at it and how some double down on it.

I’m just having a laugh mate. The way people just make up stuff and argue it as though it’s gospel amuses me. I’m contemplating beer and a punt. Now that I treat seriously.

Wigan Warriors launch OUTRAGEOUS divisive Las Vegas-inspired kit

Wigan Warriors are no strangers to a bold move or two: and even by their standards, their newest kit launch is certainly out there!

Love this!!!

Love this!!!

Does it look like a Wigan kit? Yes.
Does it mark the occasion through design? Yes.
Is it a successful design? Sold out all styles and sizes in 12 hours.
Clearly only divisive to people who had no plans to buy it anyway.

Wigan and Warrington are going to do well out of this

In future years wonder which clubs get to go because the smaller super league clubs wouldn’t bring many (Salford hudds Wakey)

So maybe they bring back the stronger clubs again

Les Catalans saints the two hull clubs even Leigh would be the ones with decent support who could travel

Would a hull derby at Vegas as an extra game be a thing ?

Heck even a Bradford v toulose game would being in decent numbers even if they aren’t in super league

I wondered whether he’d try this.

If got any sense they’d play hfc v hkr next. Then Leeds v St’s. Catalans v Castleford/Leigh. After that the fanbases start to drop quite quickly.

WTF is Vlandy's thinking?
Why invite the vile and POS Trump, a convicted felon and rapist to the game when, (a) he won't come thank god and (b) you are dividing not only any fanbase in the US but also in Australia?

What a stupid, stupid thing to do.
