Exiled Wiganer Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) 19,000 tickets sold. The atmosphere and the look were fine and dandy. And the coverage has been fantastic. Edited October 29, 2022 by Exiled Wiganer 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrispmartha Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Good crowd and everyone was really into it! Maybe it’s through tiredness (and not being overly patriotic) i found it a bit of a slog to watch, having said that it’s such an achievement for Greece to even be there they can hold their heads high. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year they allowed for sales on the day, so it would have been possible. They forced you down one route - the RLWC website, which hasn't been fit for purpose from day 1. I'll bow to your better memory but I'm fairly certain I bought mine from a central website although there could have been both options.

Death to the Rah Rah's Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Tried to buy tickets again tonight for the qtr finals and gave up, the RFL lousy ticket site is garbage - you have to click the Captcha box and you just get the wheel of doom that won’t allow you to log in to buy tickets I dread to think how many thousands of supporters have had the same problem and just given up trying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got all mine in 2013 from the central site so didn't seek out any alternatives. RLWC must have been fit for purpose on day one though as that's when I bought the majority of mine with no issues whatsoever. Ditto the 2 I've bought since the reschedule - had no issues and took minutes at most. But my point that most tournaments (and I have applied/bought for various football World Cups and Euros, hockey World Cups and Euros and various Olympic and Commonwealth Games and they have only been available from a central point. So the RLWC doing the same this time didn't come as a huge surprise.

My point is, we don't have to centralise it, we made the choice. And then delivered a poor solution. You get the criticism yiu deserve if you do that. Even today, the site is at a snail's pace on a mobile device. And that's if you remember that to login you need to press the captcha tick box before you put your username and password in.

They look and say that they had no issues, so it is fine. If we only listen to the people who have taken the happy path, then we learn nowt. We learn things when we look at where things went wrong. But too many people want to dismiss this and say "I bought my tickets fine" or "£25 is fine for me". With respect, those who purchase without issue should be ignored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's another really solid effort in Newcastle. The North East folk have certainly not disappointed us with their attendance at this World Cup. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
