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.

I’m not bothered about the men’s games as they will all be poor quality but I’m really interested in the wheelchair games. Going to have a look into that

Impressed to see an advert during the 6Nations on ITV and it was what I'd call a 'proper advert' with some RL action, and showing different groups of fans not just Northern middle aged men.

Better than the 2013 effort that appeared about a week before and was some arty effort of players spinning rugby balls.

Just got sent a link for 'presale' tickets and while there was a warning that prices would increase at the end of 2020, have they lost their minds??

To sit in my usual seat at the KCOM (one block from the half way line) its £70 for Australia-Fiji! No OAP concessions either...good luck selling that in a city never flush with cash in a pandemic.

I think there are some really poor venue choices there. Middlesbrough, Coventry, Sheffield, Newcastle, Liverpool, Arsenal. Too many novelty expansion venues. Also Elland Road has a Wooden seated stand with pillars obscuring views. It was a good stadium in the 1980's it's really not now.

Going to be very hard to sell tickets given that many people will wait until the current Covid situation becomes clearer before investing in more tickets that potentially are money down the drain.

There is no wooded seated stand at Elland Road. You must be mistaken it for Headingley’ s old North stand. It’s still a good stadium.

Depends what you call good when the Aussies ripped us a new one at elland road we had some disgusting seats that was way too closed to the row in front of us and was digging into my knees, so uncomfortable we said we'd never return to that stand

Tickets are on general sale and yet you still cannot specify where you want to sit, I am amazed that when being asked to spend such a decent whack you could end up sitting somewhere you would not want to, I bought tickets for the last three world cups the day they went on sale, but for now at least I have decided not to bother. What a shame they decided to sell tickets in such a strange way.

Strange that we had great seats for that game but left well before the end to beat the crowds but the crowds beat us

East stand lower? i think they put seats on top of the old terrcing and the rows are way too close together.

Do they still have that yellow corner for away fans? That;s awful too.

yes that's correct, I was then told the next time I visited to watch a game get a seat in the south stand its older but far better which we did, I only used to for rugby games as I would of fallen asleep watching football
