Coud someone put this old b*gg*r tottering around on his zimmer frame out of his misery and explain what a KPI is?

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Wed Aug 14, 2013 9:42 am  

Key performance indicator. It's an expected level of performance to achieve a set goal

Thank you.

Once the bigger ticket items start to sell up. The smaller ticket items will become more into focus.

It would be madness for sales to work any other way.

A question about the opening game.

What's with the bottom middle sections on the East and West Stand.
They are greyed out as in not for sale.
Is that because they are not on sale YET, or are they the corporate and press sections. So will never be on sale?????

The first seems crazy, the 2nd makes the stadium look like even more of a sell out!

Maybe corporates and stadium members?

Scotland's squad looks more than capable, I havent seen the USA one so cant comment but seen as though Ryan McGoldrick has been doing their promotional work over here I havent much hope for a competitive team.

USA should have a couple of decent players, and it now looks like they'll be picking from the entire domestic player pool (both USARL and AMNRL players), so that should help. I doubt they'll be any match for Scotland who look a really strong team, still going to the game though.

About 30 sections now sold out for opener.

Great news, gotta give the RFL credit for this decision, I thought playing the game in Cardiff was a shocking idea but i'm glad i've been proven wrong. Don't forget that Cardiff Council have paid to have the game there too, making this a good money-spinner for the RFL, and a sold out Millennium Stadium would be a massive start to the tournament.

You mentioned the RFL not announcing their KPI's for the Wold Cup, what in your opinion would you class as success?

From a business point of view?

1. Free TV access to all England games DONE!
2. Other games available on mainstream platform FAIL!
3. 350,000 tickets sold to games ONLY 57% THERE!
4. Mainstream sponsors announced including a major naming partner FAIL!


On point 3, The RFL are relying on walk up ticket sales.......let's discuss the Challenge Cup and Play-off ticket sales in recent years and how that's gone for the RFL shall we?

I'd now have books of 1,000 tickets delivered to every school within 10 miles of a RLWC venue with the promise of 50% of the ticketed revenue if the sell them all.....


From a sports point of view?
Cracking games of RL between the lesser nations and whomever makes the 4 with the top 3 to put the frightners on Aussie in the semi!
