I don't think I know anyone who has bought a ticket yet. I do however know plenty of people, myself included who will be starting to buy tickets for the big games soon and group games closer to the time. Surely a good sign? Big events like the 6 Nations sell out in a flash because for a great majority of people it is the one live game they attend a year.

This year I have clocked up 21 rounds of SL plus a few Championship games, R4/5/QF of the cup and three pre season games so there isn't the same sense of urgency etc that I might have if I hadn't been to a game all year, nor do I have the money to start buying tickets way in advance. Plenty of people in the same boat!

Same with me bought my semi and final tickets, I plan on going a good number of games and will start buying these nearer the time and this is the same for 3 of mates I know for sure..

We've got tickets to the final, semis and England v Ireland. Still to buy for NZ-Samoa, quarter final (x2) and Cook Islands v Tonga plus whatever other games I fancy. I think as a group we've been quite pro active and we've only got about 1/4 of the tickets we are buying.

Me and a couple of people got tickets to the big games a few months ago when the deals were on; a lot of my other mates are just now waking up to it and getting into gear for the Wembley and Cardiff trips.

I haven't even really looked at the fixture list yet to see which other games I will be going to, a lot will depend on my diary nearer the time, but I will probably go to another 4 or 5 games over the competition.

Wales v Cook Islands heading for sell out... http://www.rugbyleagueplanet.com/2013-r ... r-sell-out No doubt people will criticise this.

Blah blah blah.

Bottom line, the big games will achieve respectable attendances, the smaller games will be hit and miss.

Bar some aussies and kiwis theres not going to be any other decent amount of support from abroad, so it's tough to get people from these cities and towns down to games when they have no real association with the teams. There will be some hardcore fans that get down to games as neutrals but rugby league doesn't have that same standing in sport where masses of neutrals will get to games.

Overall the attendances figures probably will top that of the 2008 world cup, hopefully, which should make it a success.
