THE RED ROOSTER Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 When the original decision to postpone was made RLWC stated in an e-mail to ticket purchasers Quote We recommend waiting until the 2022 fixture schedule is announced in late 2021 before making your decision. Once the schedule is released a second refund window will open and you will be able to request a refund at that point Now it appears you acn only request a refund for the Liverpool Quarter Final. A lot happens in a year and this is bad from RLWC as for if demand is so high as they state, they can stick to their original e-mail of 12th August 2021 as I am sure returned tickets will be snapped up. Quote When the pinch comes the common people will turn out to be more intelligent than the clever ones. I certainly hope so.

'In the men’s tournament there will be one venue swap with the match between Australia and Fiji on the opening day (October 15) now taking place at Headingley Stadium, Leeds due to a clash with another event in Hull. In return, the MKM Stadium, Hull will now host New Zealand v Jamaica in Group C on October 22 – a fixture that was due to be played in Leeds. Wigan’s DW Stadium will provide the stage for the double-header which features the second men’s quarter-final as well as England women v Canada women on November 5. Manchester will create further sporting history by hosting all three tournament finals over a weekend of global Rugby League celebration. Manchester Central in the heart of the city centre will now host the wheelchair final on 18 November. The following day (November 19) the showpiece men's and women's double-header final will take place at Old Trafford, Manchester.' https://www.rlwc2021.com/article/339/full-schedule-revealed-and-tickets-available-now-for-2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 What is the capacity of the Manchester Indoor Arena as compared to Liverpool and the Copper Box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Good stuff. It is a boring bit of unflashy admin, but think the organisers deserve a lot of credit for keeping 90%+ of the fixtures exactly the same - suggests good contingency planning and relationships with those in charge at the host venues. 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.

I believe the Manchester Central Convention Centre can accommodate up to 10000 people for concerts as it is essentially a big flat space. Obviously they won't expect that number and will need to put some temporary stands in for the game but the owners should have experience of doing that for events. It's being played on a Friday evening and is right in the heart of the city next to Deansgate and Oxford Road stations so I intend to get the train in and go to the game, whereas I wasn't planning on going previously. We should certainly be looking at a crowd massively in excess of anything seen before for any Wheelchair RL game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Chopra Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Is the Wigan quarter final still guaranteed to have England playing in it (if they reach QFs) in the same way they were guaranteed to play at Anfield? I held off buying QF tickets first time round, as I can't travel north every week. Now I'm tempted, but only if England are guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see why it would, England will play a quarter final in either Wigan or Bolton, they are similar sized stadiums a short distance apart, I don’t see why it’d be essential for England to play at one rather than the other.

I can't find it written anywhere but I bought tickets for the Anfield game on the basis that it would be the England Q/F assuming they got there. These tickets have now been transferred to Wigan, so that indicates it'll be the England game - I'll be pretty annoyed if it turns out England are playing at a different venue. 100% League 0% Union Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made sense for Anfield as encourages pre sale for fans who want to watch the home nation and allows fans to plan the weekend accordingly.

I know Rugby League have done it differently in past World Cups, but it is standard across sport for the quarter finalists to be unknown before the start of the tournament. If your not happy without the England guarantee I would get a refund and hope you can secure tickets when England’s group finishing position is known (this will be after the opening fixture against Samoa) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d not looked at the schedule when replying, but it turns out Leigh have 3 games, arguably that’s too many for a Championship club. Leigh did get 10,500 in 2013, this was not one of the best crowds of the tournament, in fact the tournament average attendance was more than 50% above the Leigh figure.
