I noticed this little snippet elsewhere. Dance may not be your cup of tea but given the background of the staff and the numbers involved, I don't think there has been much skimping done on the opening ceremony routines. And I rather like the idea of the viral dance. Could be good for a laugh!

Will the top tier be opened at the Eng Ire game at Hudds as I'd rather sit there than in the corner or the ends.

Hey, I want 500k filling the stadiums as much as anyone else does......I just don't buy the spin from the organisers regarding ticket sales....same way I don't buy into the multiple partners better than major sponsor or Rileys will show all the games live on Premier TV in their snooker halls horse poop that some on here seem delighted to swallow.

BTW, according to Ms Bolton, 60% of the 40% had been sold to non traditional areas.....so only 80,000 heartland fans had bought tickets as of July 18th. Given 10 SL clubs seasons are over......surely we'd have cracked off another 20% in sales now the "heartlands" fans aren't distracted.



Collectively....do you believe that the companies above have paid a million quid between them? Do you believe any of them have paid up front to be involved?

You really couldn't make that up.

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Wed Sep 25, 2013 10:00 am  

Specsavers have sponsored the referees in SPL football for a good few years, and are a decent tie in for RL.
