The Rocket Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 NRL 2022: New Zealand Kiwis coach Michael Maguire has no problems with Roosters enforcer Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Melbourne Storm prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona becoming teammates for World Cup (smh.com.au) What league is all about’: Frenemies JWH and NAS to become Kiwi teammates "They ripped into each other in the most brutal forward battle of the season, but New Zealand coach Michael Maguire is adamant there will be no issues when Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Nelson Asofa-Solomona come together for Test duty. "Waerea-Hargreaves and Nelson Asofa-Solomona were engaged in a running battle throughout the Roosters’ win over Melbourne on Friday. Both received charges from the match-review committee, but escaped with fines rather than suspensions. "Waerea-Hargreaves will join a formidable Kiwis rotation that also includes Asofa-Solomona, Jesse Bromwich, James Fisher-Harris, Isaiah Papali’i, Joseph Tapine, Tohu Harris, Kenny Bromwich, Moses Leota and Briton Nikora." That`s one hell of a list of forwards, anyone missing. God help us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragingbull Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Are there any discount codes that anyone one knows of for getting tickets. Just looking at England France and the best available are £55 and £30 a piece for 2 kids. Probably left it too late but those prices are a bit outside of my buget.

gingerjon Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Another survey. This one asking what sort of things I'd seen at other tournaments that I might like to see on matchdays at the RLWC. "England winning". (There were other questions but I wasn't as funny on my responses to those.) 3 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

JohnM Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Well, that's our Winter Fuel Allowance spent! Just ordered (and paid for ) 3 x Final at Old Trafford, 3 x Semi at Emirates. Will wait till much nearer the time before buying any for other games. "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth."

saintspete83 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Just looked at the pricing for the first time. I am glad they are not underselling the tournament like in previous years (got my 2013 final tickets for £10 each last time) but taking everything into consideration from the last 2 years and the current economic climate and I do think they are a little too high and are not representative of the position international Rugby League finds itself in. I think some decrease will happen and the current climate will be used to justify it. Also does anyone actually believe what the ticket site tells them when it shows availability as MEDIUM, LOW , HIGH ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opener has recently become more affordable with the price cuts that are not price cuts, but many other games are far too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Browny Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 RECORD BREAKING WEEKEND ANNOUNCED FOR TICKET SALES Tickets for the biggest, best and most inclusive Rugby League World Cup are selling fast, with sales reaching a record-high, exceeding the previous record set back in October 2020. After celebrating 50DTG at the start of the weekend, which also triggered the beginning of their national advertising campaign, organisers have seen a surge in demand, with low availability reported across multiple categories. As excitement builds ahead of the opening game at St James' Park, fans have been quick to secure their place for England Men v Samoa Men on Saturday 15 October, meaning the East Stand, Gallowgate East Corner Stand and the Leazes East Corner Stand have now fully sold out. The two stadium ends – Gallowgate Stand and Leazes Stand (Lower Bowl) - also received significant interest, with both over 70% sold. Further to the demand seen in Newcastle, tickets continue to sell fast across the three tournaments, with categories selling out across the double-header finals at Old Trafford and England Men v France Men at the University of Bolton Stadium. 3 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Archie Gordon Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 They've certainly shifted a lot of ENG-SAM tickets, including the expensive ones if the East Stand is now sold out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just googled 'RLWC Bolton', chose Images, and there are two different maps. I'm also fairly sure that the final Doncaster game didn't have £15 adult tickets available until very recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSaint Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The Doncaster games are a tough sell. Is it 3 games there? That’s a lot of tickets to sell. (Think there is a game too many at Saints too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakstorm Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 They don't but it is encouraging how many games have now moved to 'low' availability and that in the first weekend of their six week advertising blitz, it produced such a big uptick. Following games now have 'low' availability in the Men'stournament: England v Samoa, Scotland v Italy, Jamaica v Ireland, NZ v Lebanon, England v France, NZ v Jamaica, NZ v Ireland, England v Greece, Fiji v Scotland, Samoa v France, Wigan QF, Leeds SF, London SF, Tournament Final We know as well that some of the other games, like Australia v Fiji have been selling solidly as well with most Cat C & D tickets sold out.

creditwhereitsdews Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Just looked at buying tickets for England v Samoa, the Cat E cheapest tickets. When you select "best available" it flashes up as section L4X which is actually the costlier Cat D section (so you're getting Cat D for Cat E prices). Looks like some sections are cheaper than they appear to be. Anyone else had this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WN83 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 We've sorted our tickets out this week for the opener, the game the following day in Newcastle and the final. It's not as cheap as years gone by and that's a worry for some games but the England games look to be selling well and value is very good for a lot of the games outside of those. We've decided to leave the England game against France in Bolton due to the cheapest tickets left being £55 and instead will go to Lebanon vs Ireland, Tonga vs Wales and PNG vs Cook Island in the following days. Three good looking fixtures for a total of £60 is fabulous value and gives us the opportunity to watch lots of different teams. Ticket sales across the board should really start to ramp up now. Our group has got loads to buy yet. We'll probably do 3 of the 4 quarter finals and at least the London semi on top of the local group games. I absolutely loved 2013 and this one should be even better. I'm absolutely buzzing for that opening game. If we can get a full house for that game, it'll be a fantastic start and it should be a brilliant atmosphere. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V02 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Currently bought: England v Greece England v France England v Samoa Scotland v Italy Tonga v Wales Australia v Italy PNG v Wales QF 1 Semi 1 Semi 2 Final Still hoping to buy: France v Greece Tonga v PNG Wales v Cook Islands Aus v Scotland Lebanon v Ireland PNG v Cook Islands NZ v Ireland Lebanon v Jamaica Samoa v France QF 2/3 QF 4 Only thing I'm waiting on is working out whether I will have the time to go to the extra ones.
