Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Has this offer come through to everyone? It’s sad we have to discount tickets to £10/£5 to get them to sell, that’s probably less than any League One club charges and is certainly far less than any Super League or Championship club. It’s too cheap for an International imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it`s fair to say that given the lack of Rugby League internationals it may take a while for the national team to build a following. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jughead Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Not really read it properly, I’ll admit, but I assume it’s a twenty-four hour sale as it’s St George’s Day. It is cheaper than a League One game at those reduced prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Chopra Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Similar to what RLWC did with its 48 hour sale recently. I suppose flash sales are a better policy than last-minute mass discounting, but it'll take a couple of seasons for fans to absorb the change in policy, if indeed it is one.

It’s not similar to the World Cup flash sale, World Cup tickets are priced high (by rugby league standards) and rightly so, the 48 hr WC offer was a category upgrade on an already expensive ticket. Today’s offer is cut price bargain basement sell it dirt cheap, they are very different promotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect flash WC sales as game times get closer, and tickets sales are dissapointingly low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m expecting them Harry, I’m holding off buying my World Cup tickets as I believe I’ll be able to get them for a lower price than what’s on offer right now, I suspect many fans are in the same position. 2013 was a great tournament but it was a success on the back of cheap discount coded tickets, that’s going to be a tough legacy to shake off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four years since England had a home test match. It's a World Cup year and they play an exhibition game with 2 of the best English eligible players playing for the opposition Roll up, roll up, get your tickets here! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind faith on this concept is going to see 4-5k rattling around the HJ again. They could have actually created an effective way of promoting the World Cup by having a proper international fixture. You know the one with actual countries in it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashmon Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I'd pay to watch England play a proper international vs another proper country (yes even Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Lebanon etc) then vs some made up team. For me the game is as pointless as a England football vs Premier League all stars type game, but you would never see the England football team demeaning themselves in a game like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't go. Just leave it instead of trashing the game constantly. We know the reasons why this game is on, to give the England players a tough game. We played France a few months ago.

It has a bigger role than a tough 80 minutes. It is a marketing tool for the RLWC. Half the players on show will be nowhere near the England 1-17 in the WC opener. The England shirt does matter though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could play this exhibition game anywhere you like and it still won’t get big crowds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
