The Las Vegas Thread

[yakstorm]

Love Rugby League is reporting that more than officials have confirmed that more than 45,000 tickets have been sold for Sunday:

Super League, NRL in Las Vegas: How many tickets have been sold?

Officials are hopeful a crowd approaching 50,000 could be inside Allegiant Stadium this weekend to watch Super League and NRL sides play in Las Vegas.

I reckon, unless the ground is just empty, they'll name 50,000+ for the match. That's the magic number that keeps being put out there for the game.

Burst out laughing this morning hearing how white ribbon are cutting ties with the NRL because of their TDS. White Ribbon had that smug wanker Andrew O’Keefe as their chairman bragging about his moral superiority. He ended bashing women and is now a deadshit junkie.

Relive this classic for a laugh

Rugby League Las Vegas 2025: Everything You Need to Know

Rugby League in Las Vegas 2025 will be bigger, bolder and better, with more games, more teams, more nations and more opportunities for travelling supporters to take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

www.nrl.com

I presume if they are wanting to run any sort of promotion for the tickets, they'll start today, as the fanzone stuff kicked off a few hours ago.

I would be pretty tempted by Vegas on my doorstep, not going to lie. So I wouldn't blame anyone

Especially when you were only there for a short time, maybe the only time in your life.

You can watch your favourite footy team 20 odd times a year, otherwise.

I'm sure booze in the stadium isn't cheap either (don't know this for a fact)

You obviously never went to the old rugby league sevens at the sfs stadium

Why are cricket fans able to hang around a whole day watching cricket.

There’s no way the Wigan/Wire fans will leave early - the NRL is so far ahead of Super League, the chance to watch any NRL live, let alone getting to watch the Panthers in action is too good of an opportunity to miss for U.K. fans who are used to the dross of Castleford v Salford.

 

[soc123_au]

Some will leave most will stay

People aren’t travelling all the way around the world then walking out half way through

They should’ve allowed pass outs so people could have a break during the womens game but probably didn’t so the stadium can sell more food and drinks

Welcome to the Forums Marty.

 

[RedVee]

Would you stay for 4 games though, and the interminable breaks between?

A double header like last year, would be far more palatable to most I'm sure

I would stay.
Unless the Dragons play first game and get smashed. I’d be sorely tempted to go then.

It's in Vegas, is my point.

Watching cricket at Bellerive isn't the same as being in Vegas.

Are you brain dead?

People can go to Vegas anytime
And people won’t just be staying for one night

lol

 

[JamesRustle]

I spend 7 days in Vegas about 10 years ago... I would have killed for a day being locked away from the temptations of Vegas.

Passouts would be great, but i reckon I'd be there for the 4 games... just at the bar for extended times during lulls.

 

[Wb1234]

BBC News reporting around 12k English fans are attending

They will certainly add to the atmosphere

The tv ratings for England will be interesting when the average super league games gets around 100k

Time slot at 9 pm isn’t the best but it’s been hyped to the max


Weidler has different numbers for Poms but if that nz number is accurate that’s amazing

Apparently there’s tonnes of kiwis in Vegas right now and they’re outstripping any other fan base by far.

Just shows how important it is to get another team there

Nope they can't even field a single competitive side

 

[Wb1234]

After white ribbon cancelled ties to the game lol

Only on LU is a trip to Vegas no big deal, but watching the Sharkies play a "can't miss" event.

 

[Canard]

Doesn't 9000 Kiwis mean, about 4500 Kiwis from Sydney and the rest from Auckland?

To people that like rugby league and have travelled specifically to watch it unlike those that like a club and not the game as a whole


Gronks a fan

f**k White Ribbon.

They're supposed to be a charity organisation, not some political spokespeople for the masses.

You don't understand dickhead.

People that travel to Vegas to watch rugby league are probably keener to watch games than you lol
