Actually noticed an advert to promote ticket sales for the 2021 World Cup on a Sky channel, yesterday. Who knows if and when there's a set date that the RFL (or whoever) will make a decision by.

I've bought tickets for quite a few games, including Wheelchair at Copper Box as that is not a huge venue and didn't want to miss out. The price structure overall is quite reasonable. Union world cup top-tier tickets topped £200 in some venues, and we all know what soccer wants when it comes to prices. Clearly many folk won't want to pay £70 plus but that's why there is a range. Plus the 'bundles' also make it cheaper. Lastly, big congratulaitons on putting the tickets on sale so far out. This is by a long way the best organised RLWC to date.

Rugby League needs to attract more fans that can pay £70 without thinking about it, people who have money aren't better than those who do not, but we need money to spend on facilities, coaches, and development officers for young players.

Internationals are our blue chip product, the ashes and World Cups should be the way we fund our future, if we have one...

Is it just me that is having problems with the RLWC website? Trying to reset my password and by the time I receive their reset link it tells me it has expres, repeatedly! Seems they don5 want to sell tickets.

Am I correct in thinking if that results go to expectation, the semis should be:

Australia v England at Elland Road; and

New Zealand v Tonga at Arsenal?

Would appreciate confirmation.

I used to always get the most expensive tickets until that World Cup Final at OT years ago. We were given the worst seats in the house and then they let people in on the day for £10 to try to boost the crowd and they had great seats. After that I’ve always bought cheaper tickets on principle.

The last England test at the KCOM had a poorer than expected crowd because the Marketing was poor but it was also noticable that the expensive £50 seats on the half way line were empty. The KCOM is a modern ground with no poor views amd we're canny with our cash in Yorkshire so most saved £10 or £20 and sat nearer the ends.

Are you sure? The website doesn’t show the numbers of the QFs so I went by the order they were written in.

I used Wikipedia, I think they have made an 'Englands Route to the final' thing before though.
